Al and Tipper Gore won’t need directions to Chelsea Clinton’s wedding. They’re not going.
As news broke Thursday that the former First Daughter’s planned July 31 wedding to investment banker Marc Mezvinsky will take place in upstate Rhinebeck at Astor Courts, the Stanford White-designed former estate, Gatecrasher learned that the former vice president and his estranged wife won’t be there.
“The Gores are not attending the wedding,” family spokeswoman Kalee Kreider said in a statement. “They both wish Chelsea well, believe she is a wonderful young woman, and they share in the family’s excitement.”
The larger question may be, however, whether either Gore was invited to the wedding, which is reportedly limited to 400 guests. In an interview last December with The Daily Beast, Gore, asked about his relationship with Bill Clinton, told the Web site he had just talked to the ex-President “three or four days” earlier. “I was looking forward to Chelsea’s wedding – that’s a happy occasion,” he said.
