Chelsea to don designer gown fashioned in snow white!
(though not a Virgin)
Quaint Rhineback
(New York)
Nothing but the best for Daddy's little girl!
Though a fresh-faced beauty now, Americans may recall those awkward days in the glare of the spotlight at the White House, when it wasn't always so for the once-gangly young teen who blossommed into womanhood a pretty young woman nonetheless.
Did a surgeon's hand play any part in it?
Of course, I am referring to Chelsa Clinton, the daughter of a former U.S. President.
After a long sensible courtship, Chelsea and her reliable beau - Marc Mezvinsky - are finally headed for wedded bliss on July 31st.
In many respects, the much-anticipated union, is nothing short of a fairy tale in the making.
The handscome couple have chosen to tie-the-knot amdist the luxurious trappings of an exquisite turn-of-the-century estate designed to resemble the Grand Trianon at Versailles.
The Beaux Arts mansion, set atop a high bluff, was built by legendary tycoon John Jacob Astor IV.
In spite of the fact there has been a bold-faced attempt to shroud the high-profile union of the two celebrated families in secrecy, as usual, insiders "in-the-know" have managed to feret out enough details to satiate the hunger of the locals and media hounds craving juicy gossip about all the delicious goings-on in their midst.
Terrapin Restaurant, a popular watering hole in the heart of town, will cater the rehearsal dinner.
There are sure to be ample generous servings of the prime dish (horseradish-encrusted Ahi tuna with miso aioli) to feed the inner circle (a picky lot, by the way) according to sources.
Although the guest list is top secret, it is rumored that President Obama and 1st Lady Michelle have been offered the opportunity to breeeze into town to catch the nupitals under the close scrutiny and watchful eyes of a top-notch detail of seasoned FBI security personnel.
White House staff swear up-and-down that the President will not attend, though.
Ted Turner, feisty talk-show host Oprah Winfrey, and politico Barbra Streisand - are allegedly on the guest list - alongside respected film director Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw.
I guess my invitation must have been waylaid by gremlins at the U.S. Post Office.
Rhinebeck has been dubbed “the Hamptons of the North."
And, is a paparazzi heaven.
Over the years, locals (approximately nine-thousand residents swell the ranks in the quaint Gatsby-style enclave) have managed to quietly mingle with the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker, Uma Thurman (Kill Bill), and Drew Barrymore (without much fuss).
On the heels of titillating leaks, enterprising gossip hounds have managed to fan the media frenzy, that do the professional proud.
For example, insiders are whispering that a slew of guests will be hunkering down at the Beekman Arms (a ninety-minute drive from the town) which is a Bill & Hillary mainstay when it comes to wining and dining the celebrated elite.
Because Amtrak rattles through the Hudson River side of Astor Courts, a neighbor has speculated, that the wedding party may snap up all available lounge cars to comfortably ferry guests to and from their tony Manhattan digs just two hours south.
Or, was that just a red herring tossed out, to throw snoops off the track?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Chelsea wisely stayed out of dirty politics!
Slick Willy's top campaign contributor invited!
