Tougher than peace talks? Clinton talks Chelsea wedding
WASHINGTON - She’s known for making tough decisions, but top US diplomat Hillary Clinton divulged Sunday that she is still trying to decide what to wear to daughter Chelsea’s wedding later this year.
“Well, if you don’t tell anybody... we're still looking,” the secretary of state told CNN’s “State of the Union” talkshow.
“I don’t have a dress yet, no, and Chelsea doesn’t either. But we're working on it,” Clinton added.
Chelsea Clinton, 29, announced her engagement to investment banker Marc Mezvinsky in an email to friends in November.
“We wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy Thanksgiving! We also wanted to share that we are engaged!” she wrote.
Hillary Clinton pronounced herself “very proud” to be the mother of the bride, but admitted planning the wedding was almost as tough as Middle East peace talks.
“I'd probably call it a draw about now,” she laughed.
