Under Pressure, Obama Exempts Religious Groups From Contraception Rule
Book Shatters Stereotypes On Muslim Women, Sex And Love
Chelsea Clinton's wedding is one of the most anticipated nuptials of the year. And while many of us are waiting to see how the top-secret event will unfold, there's one woman who kind of wishes it won't happen -- at least not on July 31. Meet Emm Haddad-Friedman, the other bride who plans to wed at Rhineback on the same day as the Clinton–Marc Mezvinsky wedding. According to Yahoo's Shine, Haddad-Friedman, a Brooklyn schoolteacher, has her wedding all paid and planned for, but Clinton's event may force her guests to travel at least an hour and a half to get from the ceremony to the reception, due to the many road closures, especially if, as rumored, President Obama attends.
"If Chelsea's wedding does happen, they'll probably close all the roads and my guests will have to drive for an hour and a half to get from my ceremony to the reception, if they get there at all," the 28-year-old bride-to-be said.
Haddad-Friedman is trying to avoid being the ultimate Bridezilla, but she feels that the Clinton-Mezvinsky ceremony will also take away all the hard work her mother put into the planning. "She's paying for the whole thing," Haddad-Friedman said. "She's a single mom who has worked the last two years tirelessly as a construction and estate manager to pay for it."
While she doesn't begrudge Chelsea her special day, Haddad-Friedman wants to be happy, too. "I know she's not doing it on purpose," she said. "But Chelsea Clinton has taken what was supposed to be a special day for me and turned it into hell."

Did this lady check with chelsea to see when her wedding would be? They arent getting married in the same building it will be okay. Anywhere chelsea chose to get married besides her parents home in NY would cause problems because her parents are required to have security.

If all of this is indeed true, has the site contacted the security for the Clintons to see what can be worked out, I'll bet not. I can't imagine the Clinton family letting another bride's wedding be "ruined"???? because their daughters wedding is there the same day. This girl is just trying for her 15 minutes of fame, and someone else to feel sorry for her and pick up the check or move her location or something. I am sure there is an answer to this, if this is indeed even a valid problem. Hey, do security on her guests, give them passes, and there is no problem. Her wedding can't be that big that a few more security checks would be any big deal!

Wait a minute. Her mother worked hard for two years to pay for HER wedding? And now she feels entitled to publicly say that Chelsea has made her wedding planning complete hell? Who is this person and why should anyone pity her? SHIT HAPPENS. You just need to gracefully work around it.

Any mom who scrimps and saves for two years to blow it on a wedding is a fool.

This girl deserves to have an amazing wedding too and it has been in the works for a long while, Ms. Ernrestine. Longer this Ms. Clinton's. And Donna, she didn't seek out the publicity, the media got wind of it and came to HER. People need to, number one, get the facts straight. Number two, although there isn't much she can do about it, it does suck. Yeah, you are right Daisy, shit happens, but if it were happening to you, you would feel it unfair as well.
And Steve, thank God the rest of the world isn't cynical and can't enjoy beautiful things in life like a girl/woman's dream of a beautiful wedding. People spend their money on whatever is important to them. And a wedding is important to some people. It's not foolish, it's called living life to the fullest.

1. this lady is clearly over-reacting, 2. if your guest have to drive out of their way then that is what just has to happen, if they really wanted to be there they will find a way, 3. people in the world are beyond crazy, so of course she needs security for goodness sakes, the moment your name is easily recognized your a target, so of course roads need to be closed, 4. to say that anyone would bug out if this were their money is a false statement, 5. just relax, their are more pressing things in life, i don't know, maybe like starving children, violence against women, so yea
