20. Chelsea, who was raised Methodist, has accompanied Marc to Shabbat dinner to learn more about Judaism. She's also gone with him to services at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York's Upper West Side. Question is, who will officiate tomorrow? Minister? Rabbi? Both?
21. No official word on anything, especially if Ed Mezvinsky, who served time in federal prison for fraud, will attend.
22. Other wedding costs, according to abcnews.com: $250,000 rehearsal dinner, expected to be held at Terrapin Restaurant at the Grasmere farm estate on the edge of Rhinebeck; $20,000 for hair and makeup; $40,000 to $50,000 for invitations (including postage and calligraphy); $50,000 for miscellaneous items, such as valet parking (about $10,000), wedding cake (another $10,000) and $17,500 for souvenirs.
23. Astor Courts, commissioned by John Jacob Astor IV to be part of his 2,800-acre estate, is a Beaux-Arts mansion built in 1904 as a sporting pavilion with guest bedrooms. Its residential indoor swimming pool is believed to be the first one built in this country, according to the Astor Courts Web site.
24. Chelsea, please. Wearing a ginormous, floppy straw hat to the Vera Wang shop in a lame attempt to "blend in" will not go unnoticed. Everyone and your mother's Secret Service agents saw you go inside because, according to WWD.com and various media outlets, the noted designer is the brain trust behind your wedding gown. Other published reports say that Oscar de la Renta is also in the mix.
25. The infotainers forgot to inquire about one vital tidbit: the honeymoon. Destination: unknown.
