Wedding for Chelsea?

[kskiska]

(story on departing W.H. French pastry chef)

(snip)

Earlier this week, as the White House unveiled the official portraits of Clinton and his wife, Hillary, their daughter Chelsea took Mesnier aside with a special request.

She asked if he would bake her favorite, a cobbler -- a classic American deep-dish fruit pie covered with a thick top crust of biscuit dough and served hot with whipped cream -- for her wedding.

"She didn't give me a date, but there could be something in the air," Mesnier said in an interview.

Since Bush arrived at the White House, Mesnier has made a seven-layer chocolate cake each year for the president's July 6 birthday.

Bush prefers "simple, sturdier things," while his wife, Laura, enjoys desserts that are "more refined," Mesnier said in his small kitchen, where chocolate giraffes were being readied for a state dinner for Kenyan officials.

1. Noooooooooo

She is too young.

[GiovanniC]

2. Jesus, She's Rushing Things...

Chelsea, please... you haven't even met me yet! Come on, let's at least have a respectable courting period before we off and get married, all right?

I mean, seriously, we both have images to protect... you, the President of the United States from 2020 to 2028, and me, President of the United States from 2028 to 2036.

Let's just take this slow, okay?

[Cheswick2.0]

14. yeah, come on Chelsea... we have a nice Italian boy for you to meet

Giovanni. You have a lot in common.

I'll do my best kiddo, but I am not sure she will listen to me.

[GiovanniC]

16. Seriously, I Don't Know How She's Lived Without Me

For so long.

And, Chelsea, here's a little FYI for you... When we DO get married, I won't have ANY problem spending time with the in-laws, so don't you worry!

4. ??

She's 24, which is two years older than I am, and I celebrated my 1st anniversary yesterday. Even with a lot of people waiting to marry until they're more established, the average age is still only 25.

5. maybe there lies the reason

every other marriage gets divorced.

Why not live together and check each other out first?

(OK I know the answer already, living in America):)

[GiovanniC]

9. Whoa... Just a minute there.

My parents married at 20 and are still together 27 years later.

And strictly statistically speaking, couples who live together before marriage have a higher divorce rate than those who don't.

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. Yeah, really. Married since I was 21

Still going strong 11 years and 2 kids later. :^)

[truthspeaker]

15. 24 is too young

Congratulations on your marriage, but I predict you will be divorced within 6 years.
