Report: Chelsea Clinton is engaged to be married

[WilliamPitt]

ABC News has learned that Chelsea Clinton is engaged to her longtime boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky, a spokesman for former President Clinton confirmed to ABC News.

Clinton, 29, is the only child of the former president and current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She and Mezvinsky -- the son of former Rep. Ed Mezvinsky, D-Iowa, and former Rep. Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinksy, D-Penn. -- became friends in Washington, DC, and closer friends when they both attended Stanford University.

The two sent out an email the morning of Friday November 27 saying: "We're sorry for the mass email but we wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy Thanksgiving! We also wanted to share that we are engaged! We didn't get married this past summer despite the stories to the contrary, but we are looking toward next summer and hope you all will be there to celebrate with us. Happy Holidays! Chelsea & Marc."

[liberal_at_heart]

3. Congratulations to her

Bill and Hillary must have done an amzing job of loving and protecting her during their rocky marital problems. She was so young and impressionable during that whole sex scandal. She could have easily been disolusioned about marriage. She could have ended up acting out by drinking or doing drugs. But somehow she ended up being very mature and well grounded. She is smart, successful, and now she is engaged. I wish her all the happiness.

4. Congratulations to the happy couple. What a remarkable woman Chelsea has become.

Beautiful inside and out. May they know the kind of happiness and deep inner peace a lifetime of good marriage can bring.

[marmar]

5. 29? Good grief....Time flies.

Congrats to Chelsea and Marc! :toast:

6. Gawd ...who the fuck cares.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

7. Some people do.

It's nice that the daughter of the 42nd President and the current Secretary of State is getting married. Both her parents are brilliant, from all accounts she is brilliant, and any children she has likely will be just as brilliant if all goes well.

Sheesh.

9. Me.

Nobody forced you to click, you know. It's called "thread hiding." It works very well. Try it sometime and save us the unnecessary bile.

[redqueen]

10. You cared enough to click the thread, and post a comment.

So, you.

[lukasahero]

12. Many of us watched her grow up

It's nice to see her happy and successful now.

[Maru Kitteh]

24. A feat not yet accomplished apparently by the above.

And yes, it is very nice to see Chelsea emerge healthy and happy. Too few Whitehouse kids do.

48. Regardless of the day the Clinton name does seem to generate

an unnatural excitement in a certain element.

38. Obviously you - or you would not have clicked on this thread amidst the hundreds to choose from

Congratulations and best wishes to the couple.

40. anything about DU that doesn't piss you off? you seem to get off on trashigmn various Dems...

:evilgrin:

[Daphne08]

86. Actually, I do!

[endless october]

8. congrats! nt

[monmouth]

11. What a lovely photo of her. She really has evolved into a beautiful

young woman. I'd say her mother's daughter. Congrats Chelsea and Marc.

[Hannah Bell]

52. the plastic surgery helped too.

[Liquorice]

53. That's a sad comment. nt

[Hannah Bell]

58. she didn't "evolve" into a beauty, she had plastic surgery. i don't mind,

but i dislike fawning compliments that ignore the documented facts.

[sarge43]

60. OK post the documentation then. n/t

[Hannah Bell]

68. nose/chin

[sarge43]

70. The Globe? That's your documentation?

:rofl:

[Hannah Bell]

75. no. the pictures, one year apart.

[ShortnFiery]

85. You're correct and none of us begrudge her, but it doesn't jibe with the notion

that children who are born to privilege and wealth are not "gorgeous" by birthright alone. :shrug:

Some in the public must have their fairy tale celebrities.

[Jakes Progress]

71. Oh Hannah. Oh Hannah.

I follow your threads so often with pleasure. But the Globe! The Globe! I mean the fucking Globe!

You may not like Clinton, but Chelsea is a charming and decent person. I have met her more than once and found her genuine and intelligent. She suffered heavily from the knuckle-dragging, Hooter's frat crowd during her father's administration. It is very disappointing to see Du'ers fall in with that crowd.

[Hannah Bell]

76. the pictures, one year apart. noting her use of plastic surgery has nothing

to do with whether or not she's a decent person, btw. nor does it mean i "don't like her".

i don't know her. but she's had work done. fact, not opinion.

[Jakes Progress]

80. Hanna, oh Hannah.

Please say you use better judgement than to trust the super market tabloids photos as proof. If you do that, then you have to believe that Obama is an alien, that Brad Pitt is a homosexual, and that there are giant lizards living beneath El Paso that come out and eat border patrol guards.

Have you ever heard of Photoshop?

[Hannah Bell]

88. look at the other pictures. they're not from tabloids.

[Jakes Progress]

91. They are all ads and stuff.

Check out Photoshop. Look at pictures of her on television, live pictures. I, myself, doubt surgery. I also don't care. Why do you find it so necessary to go after her?

[Alameda]

79. Different views and lights.....no big evidance...

Her hair is straight now...that's the only thing I see. I loved her curly hair, but a lot of women seem to want different hair. It's easy to change one's hair. What difference does it make to you or us anyway? I never thought there was any problem with her looks. She is a young woman who's looks are going through a change as she matures.

[Hannah Bell]

89. it makes no difference to me except when courtiers go on about how

she's evolved into a beauty.

to which i say: with some surgical help.

[Liquorice]

61. It sounds like it upsets you that people think Chelsea is beautiful. By the way, some of

the most beautiful people in the world have had work done. I don't know whether Chelsea has or not, but it's really irrelevant to her wedding announcement or the fact that people think she is pretty. Does it ultimately really matter whether her beauty "evolved" naturally, or with a little help? I don't see how that would matter.

[Hannah Bell]

65. i think she's pretty. i thought she was cute before the surgery, too.

if you don't think the surgery matters, why do you take offense when someone mentions it?

[Liquorice]

72. Why do you think it matters so much that it is important for you to mention it? nt

[Hannah Bell]

77. when courtiers fawn over the royals' "beauty," the gallery will note the surgery.

[Warren DeMontague]

56. Hiss. Mrawr.

[sarge43]

57. When only the face palm will do

[Raine]

59. She had plastic surgery?

for real?

[Hannah Bell]

69. you be the judge.

[Jakes Progress]

81. The Globe and a Plastic Surgery advertising site?

Pu-lease. You might ask yourself why this bothers you so much? It demeans your heretofore ennobled status here.

[Hannah Bell]

90. nope, not a plastic surgery advertising site.

[Jakes Progress]

92. Yep , a plastic surgery puff site.

[Hannah Bell]

95. wrong, but carry on.

[Jakes Progress]

96. Disappointed, but will do.

[Raine]

82. Sure looks that way

her nose especially looks different ... THANKS for the link! :hi:

[Jakes Progress]

93. Golly, yes.

Thank you so much for linking me to such vital information. How could democracy continue without these mean little threads? Whew.

[JI7]

62. she looks very much like Hillary , she had plastic surgery to look like her mother ?

[Hannah Bell]

78. right. because *all* plastic = michael jackson.

[phasma ex machina]

63. +1

[kjackson227]

13. CONGRATULATIONS to a beautiful young lady who ALWAYS carried herself...

in a lady-like fashion.

[redqueen]

16. Happy news.

They make a cute couple. :)

[bdamomma]

17. Congrats that should be a fun wedding.

[Bluenorthwest]

18. I heard Chelsea speak during the Primary

in a small setting. This is one smart woman, with a recall of facts and especially figures that left me impressed. One of the most intelligent political out reaches I have ever heard. No speech, she took questions. Which she answered, in detail that was amazing. I was glad this woman is a Democrat!
I wound up voting Obama in the Primary, but had the rival been Chelsea, she'd have had my vote hands down.

[bluestateguy]

23. She campaigned honorably for her mother

She went right into Obama country during the primaries---college campuses---and stood up for her mother. She did so with grace and fortitude.

[DURHAM D]

39. I saw her at an event at Duke.

I could not agree with you more. I have never seen anyone who is both so charming and so intelligent.

Most of the students in attendance at the Duke event were graduate students and many of them were foreign nationals. Half of their questions seem to be straight from their thesis theories or conclusions. She was asked a long rambling question on energy usage and grain production in Iowa vs. some province in China and she immediately began to fully answer the question - with statistics. The audience actually gasped. She stopped and apologized for being a numbers wonk. She then broadened her answer to the global political implications.

[bluestateguy]

19. Another unsubstantiated rumor

At least two or three times there have been leaks/rumors about Chelsea and Mezvinsky being engaged, and each time a Clinton family spokesman pushes back.

I'll wait for the official announcement.

[struggle4progress]

31. Matt McKenna, spokesman for former President Bill Clinton, said Ms Clinton got engaged ...

[WilliamPitt]

37. Woop

There it is.

:)

[sarge43]

20. Love, laughter and a long happy life together for the adorable couple.

:toast:

[Greybnk48]

21. Super! Congrats to the couple and their families.

[kestrel91316]

Happy to hear this! And boy, you sure can see bother her parents in that pic of her, lol.

Definitely has Dad's nose!

[ShortnFiery]

25. Does she still have a job as an Hedge Fund Executive or ...

has dad nepotistically given her a position within his large organization?

Hey, it's great that she may find happiness through marriage, but she's part of "the club" by her birthright, not anything she's actually accomplished on her own. :shrug:

[DURHAM D]

41. you could not be more wrong - and tedious nt

[Jakes Progress]

94. It does seem that we have aspiring MoDo's here on DU. nt

[lpbk2713]

27. I hope her hubby-to-be can take the heat.

The wingnuts and the RW Media Hatemongers will be dragging his name through
the mud just like they do with all the other Clinton family members.


That aside, best wishes for a long and happy marriage to them both.

[Blasphemer]

28. Congrats to them both! nt

[WI_DEM]

29. Great news! Chelsea has always impressed me.

[malaise]

32. K & R

Fugg the unrecs.

[rurallib]

33. My best wishes to them.

Mezvinsky's father, Ed, was my representative when i was young. From what looked like a very up and coming career Ed Mezvinsky ended up in the crapper. It was really hard to watch.
Whenever I hear the name it brings some sadness to me. I don't want to be a Debbie Downer.
Briefly (for those who don't know) Ed got involved in some fraud deals. He had been one of my heroes in my younger years.

I certainly wish them all the best.

[Vidar]

36. I wish her well.

[Irishonly]

43. Congratulations! N/T

[HughMoran]

45. Darn it!!! How dare she marry somebody else!

Well, good luck to her. Funniest thing is the people making nasty comments - what's up with that?

[polmaven]

46. Her name!

Her name alone is enough to bring out the DU nasties regarding anything and everything "Clinton".

Childish and silly, as far as I'm concerned, but they are out there.

[HughMoran]

47. Well, there is somewhat of a pattern

(here's a secret - I can't see those people's posts due to a nice feature at DU :) Even more interesting? They are the only posts I can't see in this thread - apparently nasty people are consistently nasty)

[Withywindle]

49. Awww, congratulations to them!

:toast:

I've always admired Chelsea. She's a living embodiment of the poem that goes "IF you can keep your head, when everyone around you is losing theirs...."

[Whisp]

50. I hope they name their first child Tuzla ;)

and their second one Moolah. hahahah.

[Lord Helmet]

55. lol

:applause:

[Raster]

51. Memo to Bill and Hill: I wanna go to the wedding!

Some party, eh?

[Warren DeMontague]

54. Good for her.

Congrats to the happy couple! :toast:

[mitchum]

64. So...Jackson Stephens' little boy's little girl is getting married?

how sweet

[WonderGrunion]

67. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First Pink and now Chelsea Clinton. Where are all my celebrity crushes going? At least Pink is back on the market.

[Jakes Progress]

73. Ahh. Fantasies with taste. Nice. nt

[Jakes Progress]

74. K&R i hope she has every happiness

that a smart, genuine, young woman should.

[Postman]

84. Oh thank God. Now I can sleep tonight..

WGAF...

[crikkett]

87. HOORAY!
