A. They can afford it; it is their money to spend as they please.
B. I would imagine that numerous people were employed for this event.
C. It's a bonus to the local economy to have people spend lots of money.
On Saturday Chelsea Clinton is set to marry her investment-banker boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky at a posh private estate 90 miles north of Manhattan.
The hotly anticipated, highly secretive affair has been called the Wedding of the Decade and of the Century.
Extravagant and notable events like that don't come cheap.
Experts in all things nuptial ballpark the cost of Bill and Hillary Clinton's little girl's big day at anywhere from $3 million to $5 million.
That's a lotta lettuce. And wedding cake.
"I don't think we've seen a wedding with this much attention since Patricia Nixon," says Donnie Brown, a wedding planner featured in "Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?" on the Style Network.
"This will definitely be the biggest wedding of the year."
At the more conservative cost of $3 million, that's a half-million behind Liza Minnelli and David Gest and a cool $1 million ahead of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
But this is different from your garden-variety superstar wedding, experts concur. This union includes world leaders and, well, Oprah
And Hillary wants us to believe that this is a small wedding...just for Chelsey's friends...
Democrates really believe we are stupid and believe everything they say...do they even believe them self?
Don't get me wrong...I'm for free markets and Capitalism and if they have the money why not spent it so others can make some money....the thing that is bothering me is that the people in the government not seem to get that so many hardly have food, are standing in line for food banks, lost their job or had pay cuts.
$ 500 K for flowers....wow, nice for the shop that is selling them..if they get paid!
Truely a man of the people.
Despite being a bad president, at least Carter was an honest man and true to his beliefs.

True. The Clintons are greed-filled elitists -- but they "felt the pain" of the suckers who fell for that line.
There will be plenty of unemployed democrats with plenty of time on their hands enjoying all the pomp around this wedding. The Clintons can almost make the Kennedy's look honest and down-to-earth.

I don't understand how a personal wedding is a political or controversial event.
I am curious, though - are "democrates" what Democrats use to pack when they move?
ONLY, ONLY so they can post unbelievably nonsensical "pull it out of their arse" comments like :
"""And Hillary wants us to believe that this is a small wedding...just for Chelsey's friends...

The jealousy of the Clinton never ends!!!!
I care less about what the Clintons do with their money. What I do care about is what they do with mine and right now Roger Clinton's kid is on food stamps because Bubba can find time to pardon his coke dealing brother but can't find time to put his brother's love child through college or even catch up his $30K in unpaid child support.
Take $100K out of the flower budget and send her to the school of her choice.
The Clintoons have a right to do what they want. They also have the right to be ridiculed and humiliated for their hypocritical gesture.
