She is a grad student in health policy at the moment. She did work for a few years as a consultant, but it is unlikely that she earned enough money to contribute more than a token share of the costs of the wedding.<br /><br />I presume it's not Chelsea, but rather her parents who are spending all that money, and presumably they got it from a public that is eager to buy copies of their books and pay large fees to book her father as a speaker. <br /><br />It sounds to me as though Chelsea's mother may be far more invested in the wedding than she is, since press reports four weeks ago quoted Secretary of State Clinton saying that the wedding "truly is the most important thing in my life right now."<br />http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/07/03/clinton-wedding-truly-is-the-most-important-thing-in-my-life/?fbid=OtHsfN0oVgS#more-111770Mary O'Keeffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662977706706048151noreply@blogger.com
