Buzz is building that Chelsea Clinton will get married on Martha's Vineyard this summer. Sources on the island tell us that the former first daughter will wed Marc Mezvinsky at Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen's home in Chilmark this August. The wedding coincides with President Barack Obama's rumored vacation on the Vineyard. To prepare for the A-list affair, Danson and Steenburgen are said to be doing extensive renovations on their property. Vineyard caterer Jaime Hamlin, who helped throw one of Bill Clinton's birthday parties on the island, said there's plenty of local excitement about Chelsea's upcoming nuptials, especially among vendors who hope to get some business from the Clintons. "They haven't called me yet," Hamlin joked. "Maybe they will." The young Clinton met Mezvinsky years ago through her parents. He is the son of former Iowa congressman Edward Mezvinsky, and like Chelsea, studied at Stanford University in California.

Updated:

A spokesman for former president Bill Clinton is denying reports that Chelsea Clinton will get married on Martha's Vineyard this summer.
Matthew McKenna said Saturday that the former first daughter is not getting married to boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky on the island in August. The Globe reported in today's editions that islanders are abuzz about a possible Clinton wedding at the Chilmark home of actors Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen's home.
"She's not getting married on the Vineyard or anywhere else this summer," said McKenna. "It's absolutely not true."
The Clintons have long vacationed on the island, and President Barack Obama and his family are rumored to be spending the last two weeks of August this summer.
The Clintons' vacations brought the international spotlight and electrifying a quiet island known for long stretches of empty beaches. The normally sleepy hideaway thrummed as it was crisscrossed with motorcades and its population swelled with the arrival of White House staffers, reporters and TV correspondents, and Secret Service agents.

  1. Mazel Tov. Mezvinsky's father, the former Democratic Iowa congressman, just happens to be an ex-con. He was released from jail in 2008, just in time for this Simchas . How fitting that both Chelsea's and Marc's father have disgraced their families and now can embrace and commiserate as in-laws. Hope none of this is genetic.

  1. At least the father of the groom is out of prison. I would have loved to have seen him in the formal photos sporting an orange jumpsuit. (now if only the parents of the bride could get locked up)

  1. Type your comment here...Should be a great all star event, Obama will be on the island at that time, so I am sure he will be invited. We are the next door neighbors, so we will have a birds eye view of the entire event. We watched the Ted and Mary wedding back then, it was well done. Secret service were everywhere.

  1. Does it not bother the electorate that all the Power players in the Democratic party..
    presidents... former presidents... senators... Media giants.. mike wallace of 60 minutes... walter cronkite... etc... etc.. etc... all vacation on this same litte strip of island in August ??

    If the Bush family and the Reagans and the Nixons and the Trent Lotts and the Eisenhowers and Rush Limbaugh and Anne Coulter and Clarence Thomas etc...etc.. all vacationed in August on the same little island.. would it not cause anyone in the press to notice?? maybe an idea for a movie script along the lines of the "DaVinci Code"??? I'm no "conspiracy theorist" but one does have to wonder. why this particular little island off the coast of cape cod draws so many of the same political persuasion... and my how powerful they all are.

  1. Is it really necessary to be making juvenile comments about Chelsea being hideous. You should be ashamed of yourself, Mr. Kirton.

  1. I am so happy for Chelsea, President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
    Chelsea is a lovely young woman. The Clintons raised a wonderful daughter. In spite of the fact that Chelsea grew up in the public's eye,she radiants charm and an honesty of character.
    My family vacationed in Martha's Vineyard several years ago. It will be a beautiful setting for a glorious wedding.
    Best wishes, Chelsea and Marc.

  1. Cool.

    I will always wonder if she excels at Monica Lewinsky's chosen art. I also wonder, when she does it, does her mind flash back to 1997-98? I also wonder how often Bill, after a few drinks, leered at her when she was growing up (or, even still today).

    For certain, she has quite a family tradition to live up to (or down to), or ...

  1. Chelsea was always a very lovely young lady. Now that she is older she still exhibits lovliness, intelligence, charm, and self confidence.

    from Wikepedia
    Edward "Ed" Mezvinsky (born January 17, 1937) is a former congressman who was later sentenced to 80 months in prison for a series of white-collar crimes involving fraud. As a Democrat he represented Iowa's 1st congressional district in the United States House of Representatives for two terms, from 1973 to 1977.

  1. The number of negative comments on this site equal the number of Republicans left on this planet. Not many. And true to form, they're ugly, immature, and not at all constructive.

    You go, girl. You're smart and lovely, and we wish you the best.

    Posted by Sammy May 2, 09 01:34 AM
  1. She is beautiful and serious young woman. Her parents did a good job. There are so many dysfunctional kids coming from celebrity parents. It is hard enough to raise good kids. It is nearly impossible to raise good kids from rich, celebrity homes. Most kids from those homes end up like Redmond O'Neal going in for their 4th or 6th $140,000 a 30 day treatment program for addiction of some kind.

  1. I address this to all those who've sent negative emails and ungracious comments about the bride-to-be:

    Imagine that your own daughter were subjected to the same nasty, hateful comments that you've directed toward Chelsea. How mean-spirited of you, to punish the innocent daughter for the alleged sins of her father, as you perceive them, whether they are true or not.

    You remind us all that the Paleolithic mind is still amongst us, untouched by the Age of Enlightenment.

    Shame on you! May your loved ones never be subjected to what you so readily dish out to others.

    Shame on you! Shame!

  1. The haters are in heat right now, but all I can say is, whether or not you like Hilary Clinton, THIS is CHELSEA Clinton. She isn't a politician, she's the daughter of one, and like Meghan McCain, she is her own person with her own personality and her own views.
    And last but not least, she AIN'T no "White House Dog".

    Posted by Jeff H May 2, 09 03:32 AM
  1. Is Chelsea still employed by the Hedge Fund Company that she somehow managed to snag a cushy job with upon graduation from college ? The one that hired her at $100,000 + annual salary, when the average entry level rate for college grads was $50,000 ?
    Will Obama have to zip his lip so that he doesn't embarrass the bride at her reception by expounding on the "greedy" hedge funders who contributed to the mess he inherited?
    And what will the wedding gift be ? A His "N Hers pair of slightly used, re-gifted Lavin sneakers ?

    Posted by Eli May 2, 09 03:46 AM
  1. Congratulations!!! to Chelsea, Marc and all of their parents. As Jackie Kennedy once said, no matter what else she did and accomplished, if she didn't do right with her children, she would be a failure. I believe that the Clintons are a success because, inspite of all of their trials, tribulations and the media feeding frenzy that occurs by virtue of living in the White House, Chelsea is a remarkable young woman in her own right. May all your tomorrows be as happy as your wedding day!!

    Posted by Jerri May 2, 09 04:23 AM
  1. It's interesting to see all of the "knowledgeable" comments made by people who, I imagine, have no idea what Chelsea Clinton is like, primarily because Ms. Clinton has, deliberately, it seems, always kept a low profile, with the understandable exception of campaigning for her mother.

    The fact that you may not like either or both of her parents, even if for cause, is no reason to project on Ms. Clinton.

  1. Imagine being the offspring of two of the greatest Americans who have ever lived. Instilled with poise and grace you are truly a remarkable young lady who has always handled herself with the confidence and dignity that would make any parent truly proud.
    Chelsea, my family and I wish you every blessing and hapiness that you and the young gentlemen are entiltled.

    GREAT JOB BILL AND HILL!

  1. Where do all these hateful comments come from - obviously very unhappy people who thrive on being trash mouth bullies with the IQ of a rock. I am surprised that they can spell, let alone put a sentence together. This is just a young woman getting married. Respect her privacy - she has accomplished much. Doesn't matter who her parents are. You trash mouths need to grow up.

  1. I love Chelsea...she's living proof all the crap losers say about the Clintons is just that..crap. They are great parents and great people and steered our country with love and care and left us all better off. Then the Bush crime family came in and wrecked it all. Chelsea is a class act and I hope she will be so happy in her marriage and everything else she does.

  1. Good for her, if it's true. So far, this news is just a piece of gossip on a website. I wish the young couple well if this is indeed real.

    For all of you saying she's ugly, I'd bet my next paycheck she's better looking than you...

    Posted by Gail May 2, 09 08:01 AM
  1. Good for her. She seems simply wonderful, very articulate and very bright. She won the genetic lottery. How could she miss with such amazing parents. I am SURE her pick of a partner in life is of the same caliber. I wish them the best! I wish I were invited to the wedding!!

    Posted by Natalie Rosen May 2, 09 08:12 AM

  1. how can anyone dislike (or even like very much) Chelsea Clinton? She has generally stayed out of the public eye except to help her mom with her campaign (not a bad thing, even if you donīt happen to like her mom). Some of the nastiness of the comments here just show how mean and nasty the anti-Clinton crowd can be--for no reason.

  1. This is a happy ending for a little girl who endured great pain. I am happy for both of them, her family. These are really nice people, funny, fun, and despite the political messes they have endured, closer than you all realize. I wish them much happiness in the years to come. This is a child who may have been of privledge, but who never flaunted nor abused it. She was always a down to earth, kind, sweet girl who became an even kinder woman. I wish them the very best life has to offer.

  1. I've always felt pretty bad for this kid. While in the WH, she was adolescent and gawky-looking and she must have cringed seeing her goofy pix all over the place. It appeared there was little hope for her. Worse than all of that was her knowing that her Dad was/is a serial wick-dipper; she couldn't go anyplace without seeing Pop's pecadillos plastered all over the place. But give her credit: after a trust-fund makeover, adult wardrobe, and a UG degree at Stanford - voila!

    Poor Monica Lewinsky had to move to Paris to escape it all. Just couldn't deal.

    Whatever has happened, u still have your life to start and there goes come august. Good Luck & Wishes.

  1. What is so sad is she will never find out who she really is. The achievement/notoriety of her parents obfuscates any attempt by Chelsea to understand her true value. Whatever she does will be judged positively and negatively according to the polarity of the society in which we exist.

  1. Eight years of trying to catch the Clintons and all that happened was we caught a smart man acting like the horndog he is while he ran a very effective government.

    I'm disgusted at some of the things said here. But at least we know when people talk about others it always says more about the speaker than the subject.

    I hope the wingnuts keep talking. It makes it easier to keep an eye on them. Don't we wish Timothy McVeigh had been more vocal

  1. Congratulations to the couple.
    I am appalled at the vitriol expressed on every page in these 'reader's comments'.
    These people hate everything. They hate the Democrats above all, and the Globe, and apparently Chelsea. Every day I read the paper and I glance at these comments. God, they're awful. They're not negative on the FACTS--like of whether the Globe should be shut down by the Times [I vote of course not] but these emotional nasty blurts. Can you stop printing stuff that has NO content?

  1. How sad that people are still attacking an accomplished young woman for her supposed 'ugly' appearance just because they dislike her parents. Your comments just reveal your inward ugliness. The same goes for those who posted ugly comments about the Bush twins because of their father.

    Chelsea is a lovely woman, intelligent and sweet. Whether or not you like her parents should have no bearing on her at all. I wish Chelsea and Marc and long and happy life together.

    It's so out-dated and sad that some of you still have to knee-jerk bash and judge a female based solely on her photo appearance, and on who her ancestors are. No doubt all you dissers have the finely scalpeled looks of some dilly-weed matinee idol, and have parents straight from Mount Olympus.

  1. The rest of the story..from a NYT article..
    "Marc Mezvinsky (also) survived a humiliating parental scandal, when his father pleaded guilty in 2002 to swindling dozens of investors out of $10 million.
    As a confidence man, the elder Mr. Mezvinsky was the name-dropping type. “When he thought it would help, he would call and say, ‘I’m spending the weekend with the Clintons,’ ” said Robert A. Zauzmer, the prosecutor in the case in Pennsylvania. According to court documents, Mr. Mezvinsky bragged to his targets about an earlier friendship between his son and Ms. Clinton, and used his son’s bank account to transfer money undetected. The younger Mr. Mezvinsky, a bespectacled, mop-headed Stanford graduate known for his confidence and teasing sense of humor, “had no clue,” Mr. Zauzmer said.
    Mr. Mezvinsky and his father, whose prison term is scheduled to end in November 2008, did not respond to requests for comment."
    Got to hand it to Chelsea, with a father who was impeached, a father in law a convicted felon and a Mom who couldn't find subpeonaed documents for years, in her own bedroom, the kid has all the bonifides for high democrat office.
    PS I love libs..A multi year embezzlement involving stealing $10,000,000 from friends, by a former democrat congressman, is a tragic mistake..but the teen age Bush babes underage drinking and sticking their tongues out the media is a major embarrassment. Priceless! Every time I wonder how anyone in their right mind could continue to re-elect Kerry, Kennedy and Frank I need only check out the postings by locals on Boston.com

    Posted by AuH20 May 2, 09 04:08 PM
  1. The groom, Mezvinsky, is Jewish. WHO will marry these two---a Rabbi a Minister or some secular nobody? Will Chelsea or Mezvinsky convert to the other's religion----or will they just be two secular nothings?
    Mezvinsky's Dad, Ed, was jammed up a few years ago with crookedness, fraud, theft, and other criminality. I think that Ed even went to JAIL---where Bill and Hill should be.

  1. Exacly, Jay Fahey. The Clintons were never in love - Chelsea was just an excuse, a prop to make the marriage seem more legitimate. Nothing against the poor girl, but she makes me sad.

    i don't think it's a partisan thing to call her ugly. She is rather unattractive. THat's why people feel the need to reassure her that she's "beautiful;" if she were, there would be no need to constantly state the fact.

  1. I don't care for George Bush but I wish his daughters well. Felicitations, Chelsea.

  1. To all those people that posted hateful comments I would just like to point out the difference between the children of liberals and so called conservatives. She has never been in any trouble, excelled in school and is marrying now. Then on the other side (the side with family values) we have Bristol Palin, the Bush twins, etc. ...drugs, sex, and partying. Makes you think...or maybe it doesn't. That's the problem.

  1. #135 Are we no longer able to say or write the word "Gods" on here? By the way, in your brilliance it is role model - a roll model is an example of a bakery product - not too far off base though!

  1. Good for her, but happened to the idea of getting the career going, making a name for herself, then getting married in her 30's?

    Posted by StemCellGum May 3, 09 12:37 AM
  1. There is something seriously wrong who with anyone who doesn't wish Chelsea Clinton the best. She has handled everything that has been thrown her way with exceptional grace. Good luck Chelsea. Your finance is a lucky man.

  1. Great news for Chelsea and Marc, great news for all of us. These ceremonies
    are important markers in time both personally and publically. Chelsea has been
    nothing but poised and a positive force in the public eye, the negative comments
    show up the people writing them and have nothing to do with Chelsea. Sour grapes to those who have fame envy and I hope the marriage is very successful.

  1. It never fails to amaze me how many morons and losers, who hold stupid opinions for NO REASON AT ALL, hold those opinions so solidly. Americans continue here to reveal how idiotic, uncivilized and downright mean and rude they are. If you want to understand Americans, all you have to do is read a couple of American blogs. But, let's get back to saying mean things about Chelsea and telling lies about her parents.

  1. I am sure the Divorce will be just as beautiful as the Wedding.
    Mel Gibson and Paul McCartney would love to be there, but they are a little short on cash.
    Best of luck, Don't let Elizabeth Taylor's Wedding/Divorce record slow you down. Jump right into Marriage. I am sure you can learn and profit from it.

    Best to the young couple!

  1. Many of the comments here sound like one of those crazy Fox news inspired Tea Bagger events. What a bunch of kooks. The venom... the hate filled speech...I hope you people dont go to church on Sunday and call yourselves christian...Because then you are just hypocrites.

  1. Good for her! As for the negative comments. Seriously, what has she done to you. It's not about her parents, it's about her life, her wedding. How would you feel if your child was getting married and people wrote that about her or him. Grow up.

    If the rumors are true congrads Chelsea!!!

  1. No wonder the world is such a tough place. Few people like to say anything nice. People love to be mean. It's pathetic. I'm sure Chelsea Clinton would like to be someone much more anonymous because most of us never have to endure this kind of ugly scrutiny when we are engaging in special life events.

    How about this. Stick with your mother's advice. If you can't say something nice don't say anything.

  1. They better invite Larry David (big Obama supporter and the Obama's will need great company) since Mary Steenburgen and Ted Danson have the great privilege in being included in Curb Your Enthusiasm, best show on TV.

    Posted by Anna K. May 3, 09 05:37 PM
  1. Most of the people commenting here are obviously scum. Where do you people come from? A zoo?? No class illiterates. It is simply appalling to listen to the vitriol against a young girl and her fiance who did not ask to have their names or their personal info put on this website and certainly did not ask for a group of knuckle-draggers to come along and spew hatred on news of their happy occasion. It is so typical of the right-wing and great evidence as to why their numbers are in the dirt. Because the remnants within the party are losers... figuratively and literally. And for gods sake--GROW UP!!
    As for Chelsea--I hope you have a wonderful marriage and a wonderful life!

  1. People - dont be offended at the rude comments directed at Chelsea. I promise you the guys who posted them are not in her league (and they probably still live at home). Clearly they are threatened little puppies who would probably wet themselves if they ever met her.

  1. I think she's great, and God Bless Her. She puts George's girls to shame. Those that are bad mouthing her are only jealous.

  1. She is so graceful and has such style even in the face of nasty, partisan criticism. I wish her the best

  1. Congratulations Chelsea - you are a class act and you have a very promising future. Your parents did a great job as parents and I wish you and your husband to be the very best!

  1. So this is what America has come to. Jealousy and pettiness under the cover of comments in news articles? You have to wonder about the people who make nasty comments. Is your life all that great? Are you a Brad Pitt lookalike? Did you marry a Miss America candidate? Nope, most probably are ugly men hiding behind the anonymous paper thinking they're smart. For those of you who said she's ugly --so what--take a look at yourself in the mirror and then take a look at your wife. Bet you wouldn't win any prizes either. Jealous because she got a good job out of college, -that's what happens with rich folks. Besides didn't the Clinton deny a wedding was to take place anyway?

  1. To those making the malicious remarks: What a bunch of "ignorant tools". Get a life, and then you might not have time to spend putting down others, who obviously already have a life!

    Best of luck to the couple....

  1. What a bunch of scum pond in this place. She's a lovely young lady and deserves happiness. Someone called her parents criminals. I must remind you that she is not the daughter of George Bush or Cheney. You must have her confused with someone else.

  1. It's interesting how thieving families attract.

    Posted by Hope May 4, 09 05:37 PM
  1. No mention in the Globe that Ex. Congressman Mezvinski was sentenced to 80 months in jail for various white collar crimes. Quite an addition to the family. That's why we love the Globe. (R.I.P)

    Posted by naro May 4, 09 05:37 PM
  1. It's pretty sad, when people are so jealous they attack a person and know nothing about them, other than what has been reported by the media. But the real truth is this morning when the haters woke up they had to take a triple dose of their hateraid. Congrats Chelsea, I wish her and future husband the best.

    Posted by ladyjazz May 4, 09 05:40 PM
  1. To all the well-wishers on this post, would you be so kind if this was the daughter of President Bush or how about the daughter of Sarah Palin? I don't think so. Your kind has already proven yourselves in that regard..... Just passing along in kind, the favor. This girl was spawned by criminals.... and she is marrying someone spawned by a criminal as well..... she is NOT attractive so get over YOURSELVES and stop being a bunch of moronic hypocrites! You make me sick!

  1. I'm a republican and I am very happy for her because I believe she is an incredibly smart and tough cookie that I hope will go far. It's not really very fair for others to assume that the retards in the above hideous posts are like all republicans.

    Posted by wmd May 5, 09 06:47 AM
  1. Who cares about Chelsea. And as far as the nasty remarks. Do all you Dems forget how horrible you were to Jenna Bush when she got married? You were so very mean and cutting. You had nothing nice to say at all. You bashed her and her family to no end. So why should we cow-tow to the cheating Clintons. Cause it is Chelsea? Guess payback[sucks]!

    Posted by Susan May 5, 09 10:19 AM
  1. I wonder why all the Democrats children are "homely" as my mother would say. The only one who beat the odds was JFK junior.Chelsea looks like her dad and acts like her mother. Terrible combo. And to marry someone whose father was in prison for bilking millions -- par for the course for the Dem's.

    Posted by tsl May 5, 09 12:52 PM
  1. Chelsea would make any father or mother proud. I watched some White House functions on CSPAN back when Bill Clinton was President. Chelsea was a perfect lady, carried herself beautifully and was everything we would want a Presidents daughter to be. Former President Clinton, Senator Clinton and Mr. Mezvinsky are lucky to have such a wonderful woman in their lives.

  1. If this is just a rumour as some newspaper articles have been pointing out then the only reason Chelsea Clinton would not be marrying is due to the Gold-digger factor. Anyone like her with millionaire parents' and a high paying job is sure to have alot of gold-digging men buzzing about her. I would love to have her wealth and fame but I would never be sure if my boyfriend or any of my friends' like me for whom I am or because what I have. Kind of a double edged sword. As a girl with everything she can never be certain if people like her for herself or her wealth. Gauranteed she will never know lasting happiness.
