Chelsea says 'I do'

In one of the most awaited and most guarded weddings of the century, Chelsea Clinton wed long time beau Marc Mezvinsky at Hudson Valley estate in the Rhinebeck village of New York.

Hundreds of guests gathered at the historic estate near the end of a near-perfect summer day of warm temperatures, blue skies and cottony clouds. The ceremony was conducted by a rabbi and a reverend as Chelsea Clinton is Methodist and Mezvinsky is Jewish, and included a poem by Leo Marks titled, "The Life That I Have," according to the family.

The wedding was a mix of high society and high security. The road to Astor Courts was blocked off on Saturday, neighbours received bottles of wine for their troubles and the sky above was declared a no-fly zone by federal aviation officials. Police and security guards fanned out around the usually sleepy town. (AP Photo)
