Former First Daughter, Chelsea Clinton, is set to tie the knot this week with her longtime friend and fiance, Marc Mezvinsky. The wedding will, of course, have the setting fit for a former President's daughter, being held at Astor Courts on the Hudson River in Rhinebeck, NY — the palatial former home of American millionaire businessman John Jacob Astor IV (infamous for perishing during the sinking of the Titanic) built in the early 20th Century classical American style. The wedding will also have a personal touch by Chelsea: a "green" menu served at the reception, consisting of mostly vegan dishes, seeing as Ms. Clinton is a vegan herself.
Since she was a youngster in the White House, Chelsea has been opting for animal-free fare, even getting cooking lessons from the White House staff before she headed off to college.
