Chelsea Clinton's Wedding

On Saturday, July 31, 2010, a wedding attracted the attention of the whole world.

The wedding was held at Astor Courts estate, a private Beaux-Arts mansion, Rhinebeck, New York.

The newlyweds exchanged vows under this Jewish chuppah made of branches and flowers in front of 400 to 500 guests in the late afternoon sunshine . As they said the wedding vows, Chelsea Clinton and her new husband read a poem to each other.

And here are the lines written by British poet Leo Marks:

The Life That I Have

The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours
The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.

For the ceremony- a strapless bodice, organza white ball dress designed by Vera Wang paired with a shiny belt.

For the reception- a Grecian-style bride gown with a narrow, black grosgrain belt as the spot.

The unique wedding dress was designed by famous American designer Vera Wang who was a friend of the family.

Who attended Chelsea Clinton's Wedding? First of all, the Clinton couple Bill and Hillary Clinton who tried their best to protect their daugher fromr the gaze of the public would be the most important participants.

"Today, we watched with great pride and overwhelming emotion as Chelsea and Marc wed in a beautiful ceremony at Astor Courts, surrounded by family and their close friends. We could not have asked for a more perfect day to celebrate the beginning of their life together, and we are so happy to welcome Marc into our family. On behalf of the newlyweds, we want to give special thanks to the people of Rhinebeck for welcoming us and to everyone for their well-wishes on this special day."

There was speculation about a long celebrity list attending the wedding but few celebrities were seen on Chelsea Clinton's wedding day. Actor Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen, who are long-time family friends of the Clintons, were spotted coming hand in hand which brought a swarm of media around them.

The country's fascination with Chelsea Clinton's wedding could be obviously seen from a large crowd of people waiting outside the Delamater Inn, not to mention its dominance of the U.S. media.

Chelsea's grandmother Dorothy Howell Rodham was present at the wedding.
