Chelsea Clinton's July 31 Wedding at Opulent Astor Courts

From Politics Daily here.

The closely held details of Chelsea Clinton's wedding have begun to leak out, and the first major morsel may well be the venue.

She will marry investment banker Marc Mezvinksy, 31, at Astor Courts, a Beaux-Arts masterpiece overlooking the Hudson River designed in 1902 by famed architect Stanford White for American oligarch John Jacob Astor IV. From the outside, it evokes Louis XIV's Grand Trianon at Versailles. And inside? It's straight out of an Edith Wharton novel.

Speculation about everything from Chelsea's wedding gown (Vera Wang? Oscar de la Renta?) to the officiant (a Protestant minister? A rabbi? Both? Neither? ) to the honeymoon destination (still a secret) have been swirling around the publicity-shy only child of former president Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton for months. . . .
