RHINEBECK, N.Y. (AP) - Wedding experts say Chelsea Clinton's gala this weekend could run upwards of $2 million to $3 million.
That compares to the roughly $24,000 most American newlyweds spend on their special day.
Details have been notoriously difficult to pry loose, but industry insiders have gathered enough intelligence to estimate some of the costs of Saturday's wedding.
Clinton, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, is marrying investment banker Marc Mezvinsky.
The most expensive item? Catering, estimated at $750,000 by Brides magazine deputy editor Sally Kilbridge.
Toilets could run about $15,000 to $20,000.
