Behind The Media Frenzy Of Chelsea Clinton's Wedding

Chelsea Clinton's upcoming wedding has been attracting media buzz for the past couple of weeks but does it deserve all the hype? Perrie Samotin, editor at AM New York to walked us through all the frenzy and speculation.
"It's a little confusing knowing what we know about Chelsea," said Samotin, commenting on the usually "under-the-radar" figure. "It's quite a change from what we're used to."
Samotin attributed most of the wedding's attention to her politically-connected parents, who are helping foot the nuptuals' $3 million price tag.
The editor also talked about the exclusive guest list; so exlusive, in fact, that even current President of the United States didn't make the cut.
Inviting Obama "might distract from the couple," said Samotin. "Having all these presidents there wouldn't make for a low key wedding."

I agree that the wedding seems completely out of character for Chelsea Clinton. C'mon - $3 million dollars??! On the plus side, Rhinebeck will certainly benefit from the attention. Loved Ms. Samotin, she was good!
