£7k cake at Chelsea Clinton's £3.2 Million Dollar Wedding

[Bloodshot Scott]

I thought interspecies marriage was illegal, because you know..............she's a dog.

She is pretty hideous. :1orglaugh

 

[tartanterrier]

The best thing they could have done with was shuffed it in Bill's face

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Meh. Think of it this way: The individual who made the cake, planned the wedding, and hosting it is getting all that money. Go economy in an otherwise bad economy! :nanner:

 

[busenbust]

I wish her well. I like Clinton :o Oops ...!

 

[Crazy4theBrat]

Not really much of a story in my opinion. Slick Willy no doubt made a lot of money when he was in office. He's spending it now. No different than any other president.

 

[Facetious]

One of the Bush twins got married not so long ago (the one that liked to party and didn't wear underwear sometimes). Did anyone here give two shits about that? I didn't. No more than I care about Chelsea's wedding.

Girls from monied familes tend to have expensive weddings. Whether the name is Trump, Bush or Clinton, that's how it works. Why is anyone surprised by this? What surprises me is when people who are nothing more than credit card millionaires, living in tacky McMansion communities, do the same thing... and then spend the next 20 years paying off the debt.

snip:

. .When Jenna Bush got married two years ago at her daddy’s Crawford, Texas, ranch, the celebration cost an estimated $100,000. Not chump change for sure, but hardly Trumpian. If W. forked over this much money when Jenna got hitched, Michael Moore’s next documentary would air on the Wedding Channel.

But the Clintons? Untouchable. Well, figuratively. . .]

Chelsea's wedding reception cost a minimum of 30 X more than Jenna's.
What Trident said:

Please keep this thought when it's a Republican.

Damned Clintons, they get away with everything!
Do you guys know what happened to ''Buddy'', the Clinton's Chocolate Lab?
For Crissakes, where's PETA?! :dunno:

I guess it's the TMZ/National Enquirer/celebrity worship mentality that's infected the American psyche. If someone who you don't know and who you'll never meet spends $100K or $10 million on a wedding, why do you care? As I said before, whether they're a Republican or a Democrat, what difference does it make, unless you're on the guest list or the one writing the check?

What amount will Levi and Bristol (I didn't do a Dave Letterman and name the wrong one, did I?) spend on their wedding? I don't give a shit. If I ever have a little bundle of joy and she one day comes to me and says she wants a gold plated wedding cake and a fleet of Jaguar limos for her wedding... THEN I'll give a shit. Til then, still not giving a shit.

Now... back to my regularly scheduled episode of TMZ. How the heck is poor widdle Lindsey Lohan doing in federal prison?! And has Kim Kardashian's ass eaten any stray dogs lately? I must know these important things! :spump:

Haven't you heard? The nuptials are off-again. I guess "momma grizzly's" bribe money to Levi to play nice and not make waves until her campaigns for office are over has dried up.:crying:

Ah man! And after all the trouble they went to... gettin' registered at Walmart and everything.

 

[gunslingingbird]

I wonder if the cake was soaked in brandy, Jack, or any other hard liquor. Maybe 151, Absinthe, Everclear, or moonshine. I think that's the only way the groom could've found her attractive enough to do the deed on their wedding night. :beer: :anonymous :nannerf1:

For the record: I thought the press were mean when they made all the "ugly" jokes about Chelsea when she was a teen and in the White House. It wasn't just fucking republican aholes either; there were liberals cracking jokes, too. The press tried to have a little fun with the Bush girls and their UT partying habits. It is not anyone's business what goes on with the children of our president or congress twerps unless there is a crime committed.

I think Chelsea has aged gracefully into an attractive woman. She's smart, very savvy and maybe she will run for Congress someday. :dunno: Probably not, but you never know.

No, it's better. Levi the Playgirl has knocked up another 19 yr old Alaskan apparently :surprise::eek: I guess this guy will "do" anyone and anything for fame :anonymous

I used to have this attitude, as well. I could not accept the backwater, sadsack state of "American Culture." I, naively, thought people cared about what they do with their time and their lives. I have learned that Americans are the laziest and dumbest people collectively. We get the culture that we pay for :dunno:

The other side is--who do you trust for news? Mainstream media is corporate media with personal opinion inserted for "news" and the over-reliance in "BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ticker crawls all the time. Mainstream news really has the effect of brainwashing the American public, sad to say, all because they have a 24/7 news cycle to fill...for ratings and ad dollars.

I think it's time to embrace the tabloids and help them devalue and debase America even more...:dunno: Hell, sometimes the tabloids do actual reporting better than the regular sources :surprise:

Credit where credit is due: TMZ accurately broke the Tiger Woods drama. :glugglug:

In all honesty. For what that poor girl endured by virtue of the embarrassment her dad caused her and her family. Let alone growing up in the spotlight not of her choosing and being the butt of political attack jokes, etc as an innocent kid....I'm happy for the girl. She's apparently turned out as well rounded as she appears and has gotten married. Congrats Chelsea!

She deserves whatever she gets as an adult especially from dad's pockets.:clap:

 

[titsrock]

^
:clap: I agree

 

[Anadin]

I think even if I was seriously loaded the idea of spending anything over $100,000 on wedding would seem like a waste, I'm still amazed people are prepared to spend that on the dress alone.

I suppose with the additional security concerns and large guest list (I don't even know 400+ people) the cost will skyrocket, even I think air conditioned porta potties are probably worth the money.

Still I think if you spend $250,000 on flowers, as CBS estimated, you're fucking insane.

 

[sporty_carr]

There are children starving in the world, but at least she had her one day of fun.

Fucking disgusting.

True. I feel the same. Either way I'm having a very private wedding. Hell, and small. I don't want more than immediate family and friends.

I agree on this! It's beyond my understanding how anyone can really get a guest list over 100 unless you allow everyone to bring a date and you start inviting aquaintances, your co-workers, and distant family you maybe see once every 20 years at a family reunion or funeral.

I'm at 37 guests for my wedding and would have a hard time finding many more. Perhaps about 4 other people I've become good friends with since I made the guest list last year...but that's about it!

In other parts of the world, flowers are easily the MOST expensive item for a wedding outside of the dress. Especially once you attach the word wedding to it. A rose could cost $4 if you went to pick one up for your sweetie, but for a wedding it costs $12 each. Insanity!

Not to mention brides that have to have flowers outside of the normal flowering period.

I suppose if these two were not particular about it being small and private I can easily see this particular guest list swelling to this number just based on who the parents are and the lives they've had.

When you consider the social circles of a Bill and Hillary Clinton not to mention and the parents of the groom (lifelong politicians too) that number is easily doable IMO. For example, actor Ted Danson was shown there....I could be wrong but I'm fairly certain he and his wife were there because of a relationship with Bill and/or Hillary, not the bride or groom.

So when you get down to a Ted Danson being there who I presume only developed a friendship with the Clintons based likely on Bill's presidency and Hill's candidacy, I can see that list being pretty long.

It's her wedding. If they want to spend million on it so be it. After all I never heard the Clintons preach about fiscial responsbility...that would be conservatives.

Plus when you're as powerful as Bill and Hill if you don't invite people it can be looked upon as a slap in your face.
