Chelsea Clinton marries in US "royal wedding"

Bill and Hillary Clinton's only daughter has married her long-time boyfriend in the picturesque² New York village of Rhinebeck in what was dubbed³ America's royal wedding.

Chelsea Clinton -- the only child of the former US president and the US secretary of state -- wed¹ Marc Mezvinsky on Saturday at Astor Courts, an historic 50-acre (20-hectare) estate about 100 miles north of New York City.

"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," Bill and Hillary Clinton said in a statement.

"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," the statement said.

Photos showed the bride and groom⁴ walking down a broad outdoor aisle⁵ between rows of guests. Chelsea wore a strapless white gown with a fitted bodice and full skirt with platinum-colored beading at the waist and a long white veil.

The groom wore a simple black tuxedo⁷ going down the aisle and in a photo with the Clinton family, and a white prayer shawl and yarmulke in separate photos with Chelsea under a flowering tree and amid wedding guests.

In the one photo in which she appeared, Hillary Clinton wore a magenta⁸ gown. Bill Clinton, who is pictured walking Chelsea down the aisle, wore a simple black tux with a white boutonniere in his lapel.

Apart from the parents of the bride, the only other high profile guests seen in Rhinebeck were Bill Clinton's former secretary of state, Madeleine Albright, actors Ted⁶ Danson and Mary Steenburgen and fashion designer Vera Wang.

Also spotted⁹ was real estate scion¹⁰ and movie producer billionaire Steve Bing.

Chelsea Clinton, 30, and Mezvinsky, 32, have known each other since they were teenagers. He is an investment banker, whose parents Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky and Edward Mezvinsky were once Democratic US House of Representatives members.

日前，克林顿夫妇的独生女切尔西与相恋多年的男友在风景如画的纽约莱茵贝克小镇举办了一场“皇家婚礼”。

美国前总统比尔·克林顿和现任国务卿希拉里的千金切尔西·克林顿与马克·梅兹文斯基于上周六在距纽约城北部100英里的阿斯托庄园举行了婚礼。阿斯托庄园占地50英亩（合20公顷），是一座古老的庄园。

当天，克林顿夫妇在一份声明中说：“今天，我们怀着无比自豪和激动的心情目睹了切尔西和马克在阿斯托庄园举行的这场美好的婚礼，他们在家人和亲友的见证下结为连理。”

声明称：“今天是个大喜的日子，我们在此为一对新人庆祝新生活的开始。同时，我们很高兴马克成为我们家庭中的一员。”

从婚礼的照片中可以看到，新娘和新郎携手走过一条宽阔的室外长廊，现场的宾客站在两旁。切尔西头披一条长长的白纱，身着一件白色紧身抹胸婚纱，裙身腰部缀有白金色串珠。

新郎在婚礼仪式上以及与克林顿全家合影时穿了一件简单大方的黑色燕尾服。而在与切尔西在花丛下单独拍照以及与宾客们合影时，他则披上了一条祷告巾、戴上了一顶小圆帽。

在其中一张照片中，希拉里身着一件紫红色礼服。克林顿在送女儿走下长廊时身着一件简单的黑色晚礼服，翻领处的纽扣孔上插了一朵白色小花。

除新娘的父母外，出席当天婚礼的名流还包括比尔·克林顿当政时期的美国前国务卿玛德莱娜·奥尔布莱特、影星泰德·丹森和玛丽·斯汀伯根、以及服装设计师王薇薇。

此外，房地产业继承人兼电影制作人、亿万富翁史蒂夫·宾也出席了婚礼。

30岁的切尔西·克林顿和32岁的马克·梅兹文斯基可谓“青梅竹马”。马克是一个投资银行家，他的母亲玛乔莉·马戈利斯·梅兹文斯基和父亲爱德华·梅兹文斯基都曾是美国众议院民主党议员。
