It's going to be a secret wedding with no publicity or fanfare. Bill and Hillary Clinton have made their daughter Chelsea's wedding an exclusive private affair that even US President Barack Obama has not received any invitation.
"I was not invited to the wedding because I think Hillary and Bill, properly, want to keep this thing for Chelsea and her soon-to-be husband," said Obama speaking to the ladies of ABC's "The View" on Wednesday.
When the host Barbara Walters grilled the president whether former president Bill Clinton and present Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had invited him or not, Obama said, "I was not invited to the wedding. Because I think Hillary and Bill, properly, want to keep this thing for Chelsea and her soon-to-be husband."
As Hillary Clinton had earlier admitted, the wedding invitation was exclusively to those known to the bride and groom and not for the friends of Clintons. She also said that she was "under very strict orders" not to speak about it.
