Chelsea Clinton getting married on Chappaquiddick Island?
The NY Post is reporting that Chelsea Clinton will be getting married soon on Chappaquiddick Island.
It really does feel like the wedding was supposed to happen this past weekend, but Ted Kennedy’s funeral put a wrench in those plans. And now, if the NY Post is right, the Clintons are making a marvelous political move in drawing attention to the one place in the world the wretched Kennedy Family wants everyone to forget.
Enormous media attention would be drawn to wherever Chelsea got married.
Chelsea Clinton is a smart, smart, wonderful young woman. The kind of person who, like us, has never forgotten what happened to Mary Jo Kopechne..who was roughly Chelsea’s age when Ted Kennedy killed her.
What would we do if we were the sons of two of the most famous people in the world…and we knew our wedding would draw enormous global attention…and we personally felt the MSM had completely ignored Chappaquiddick and the murder Ted Kennedy committed there 40 years ago?
What would we do if we, on some level, wanted to take a major slap at the self-declared royals who had betrayed our parents repeatedly?
To be honest, we’d have our wedding on Chappaquiddick Island so that the MSM would be forced to report on it…would be forced to say the word “Chappaquiddick” and Americans would instantly remember the REAL Ted Kennedy, the one that wasn’t eulogized this weekend.
Because in talking about the wedding on Chappaquiddick, the MSM would be FORCED to talk about what Ted Kennedy did there in 1969, when he killed Mary Jo Kopechne.
If the MSM’s going to make a big deal of our special day, we’d want that attention to be good for something…and shining a strong light on Kennedy’s real legacy sure seems to be a wonderful and apt redirection of all that media attention.
If this is true…if Chelsea Clinton really is holding her wedding on Chappaquiddick, she will join her parents permanently as one of our personal heroes.
Because this would be genius.
UPDATE: Once again, today there were no public appointments posted for Hillary Clinton. The Kennedy funeral and Hurricane Bill cut short the vacation the Clintons were on in Bermuda last week. They were supposed to return home on Saturday night. So, Clinton should have been back to a regular schedule of public appointments this week. It sure feels like there’s a personal reason she’s not making public appearances…and knowing how much she loves her daughter, and how much she would enjoy wedding planning, if Chelsea is getting married this week, that would explain everything.
Last July, Clinton came to Chicago for her best friend Betsy Ebeling’s daughter’s wedding, held the same day as a teacher’s union event. We got to see Clinton that day, at Navy Pier, and she was BEAMING with pride that her friend’s daughter was getting married that day. BEAMING. She was so, so happy. And that was just her friend’s, not her own, daughter. So, the more days that go by without public appointments, and the more articles like the one in the NY Post are written, the more we do believe that something’s up with Chelsea.
We’re starting to wonder if it’s going to be a Stella McCartney dress, too. Chelsea is friends with Stella…so we’d be surprised if it wasn’t a dress by her.
UPDATE #2: Can we just say how excited we are by the NY Post story? It’s been a rough year for us here in Chicago — friends dying, other friends diagnosed with cancer, a brutal job market here, you name it. There’s been very little joy, not much to make us smile and make us happy. But, Chelsea Clinton getting married would be so joyous. We would be so excited for her, and that would make us so happy. But, more than that, if it’s true the Clintons would really use Chappaquiddick for the wedding, we would love these people more than we already do — because that would be the greatest F-U to the miserable Kennedy family any of us could ever imagine. We thought it was hilarious and wonderful how all of Hillary Clinton’s supporters came together in December of last year to take HRH Princess Caroline of Kennedy down in her presumptive insistence her imagined royal lineage entitled her to Hillary Clinton’s Senate seat. Everyone we know in New York on Team Hillary worked day and night to make HRH Princess Caroline look as ridiculous as possible. People with connections made calls and put pressure where it needed to be put. Those of us mere mortals just hit the Net, doing what we could to turn the tide against the Princess and make it impossible for Governor Paterson to buckle under Kennedy Family pressure to give Princess what she wanted (“I wants it, I wants it, I WANTS IT,” the dilletante would shout, running up and down the aisles at Bergdorf’s, throwing Jimmy Choos at anyone she’d spot, so furious she wasn’t automatically getting her way, for once in her overindulged life).
But, drawing so much attention to Chappaquiddick would top all of this.
It would effectively pop the MSM-fueled Kennedy memorial bubble…and bring reality to all the artificial tributes to this murderer.
It would be a passive-aggressive A-bomb sure to generate countless F-bombs from the ranks of the stunned, self-proclaimed royals at Hyannis Port.
The Clintons are wonderful people. If you are loyal to them, they will stand by you when you need it. They never, ever forget who’s on their side, and who isn’t. They will always help those who helped them…and they will always get back at those who backstabbed them.
And they do both things with relish and vigor, like only they can.
Oh, how we hope the NY Post is right, because it’s beyond anything we could have ever dreamed of doing to the Kennedys.
UPDATE #3: Serena Roosevelt says on Facebook that Chelsea Clinton is NOT getting married on Chappaquiddick…that the preparations are for two other women getting married (on different days and not to each other). The article at the link also says Chelsea will not be getting married this year, period.

No way!? If this is true it will be the biggest slap back at the Kennedy family. A big giant F-U to the Kennedy’s for dissing Hillary. Could they really be that awesome? They pissed off Hill and Bill, but holy crap! I would laugh myself silly if this really happens.
lets all pray for a beautiful sunny day and that the NY times is right…… and a big fuck u to the kennedy’s goes ahead.
ooops sorry NY post. I got too excited.
hahaha, I understand the excitement.
This would be brilliant!!! I would love it. I was listening to the dreadful Dick Morris today as he was telling how Bill had to fight to keep from being pulled to far left. He quoted Bill as saying that at one point Bill had been pulled so far left that he didn’t recognize himself.
The Democrat party has been hijacked by looney liberals. Bill and Hillary have been disrespected because they were much more center left. They must be seething. This would be such personal satisfaction if it were true. They would now be the ‘walking middle finger’ to the Kennedy’s and Obama.
Now, if only Bill hadn’t backed Obama’s healthcare plan. Or did he?? Bill has a funny way of saying something to unite the other side when necessary. Maybe his comment about how it will be the end of the democrats if this isn’t passed is a subtle hint to conservative dems and repubs that we can take out the looney liberals by stopping this health bill. Hmmmm????
If it is true, I wish her much happiness. I still have a cell phone picture of her campaigning for her mom in Baltimore, that brings me great joy.
I hope that she has found a soulmate, like her mother did.
FYI, Hillary has no public appointments tomorrow, either.
PYW -
Where do you check for appointments? We check the State Department site. They don’t update that until 730am at the earliest the day of…sometimes it takes them until 9am to update…but we have never seen them put her appointments out until that day, never the night before.
How do you know she doesn’t have engagements tomorrow?
i have a reliable source who gets the info a day ahead of time. sorry i can’t say more.
actually, it’s already been posted so it isn’t a state secret, lol.

Also, FWIW, the National Enquirer says Ted’s funeral did push back the wedding.
Can you get a link to where the Enquirer said that? The Enquirer is right about this kind of thing. They were the ones who broke everything on Edwards.

OK, that would be awesome if the Clintons did stick it to the Kennedys that way. But would Chelsea or anyone else really want to plan her wedding around a political family feud that way? I’ve never been anywhere near Chappaquiddick, so I have no idea if it’s a nice place to have a wedding or not.
Another possibility is that Chelsea is having the wedding at her parents’ house in Chappaqua, NY and not on Chappaquiddick, but the names of those places are so similar it would be easy for the media to mix them up accidentally on purpose for the sake of a good story. Hillary and Bill did spend some time at their home in Chappaqua last week, but I don’t know if Chelsea was with them.
I guess we’ll see. I just hope Chelsea and her fiancee can have their wedding without helicopters flying overhead or the paparazzi idiots popping out of the bushes to take pictures.
Jen,
That was our first thought too…but it’s the NY Post…and they know what Chappaqua is. It would be so weird for them to make that mistake…and The Enquirer is smarter than that too. We could see that mistake made by foreign press, but not the NY press that knows the word Chappaqua.
Unless it is someone trying to throw a diversion out there deliberately.
Jen,
Chappaquiddick would be a beautiful place to have a wedding whether it would make a political statement or not. The rich and famous vacation on Martha’s Vineyard for a reason. Unfortunately, Ted Kennedy’s actions put a stain on Chappaquiddick that it didn’t deserve.
Smart woman that Chelsea.Just like her mother.
Chappaquiddick bridge to be renamed Ted Kennedy memorial causeway
EDGARTOWN, Mass. – Just a week after the death of semi-permanent Senate fixture Ted Kennedy, the so-called Lion of the Senate has garnered a touching posthumous honor in his home state.
Chappaquiddick’s picturesque Dike Bridge, where, in a less-than-lionhearted moment in 1969, Kennedy drove a young courtesan to her watery death, is to be rechristened in his name, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick (D) confirmed today …
