The only child of former US President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is set to marry her boyfriend at a lavish wedding.

Chelsea Clinton is to wed investment banker Marc Mezvinsky on the exclusive Astor Courts estate in upstate New York.
Amid tight secrecy to protect her privacy, few details are known other than that her parents are attending.
Media have flooded the area for one of the year's biggest US society events.
Hundreds of people have crowded into the nearby town of Rhinebeck hoping to catch of a glimpse of the former First Couple or their publicity-shy daughter, and a no-fly zone is being imposed on the area as part of the security measures.
Reports say that TV star Oprah Winfrey and film director Steven Spielberg will be among the 500 guests.
The wedding is expected to cost between $2m (£1.3m) and $3m (£1.9m), experts told the Associated Press news agency.
Shopkeepers, innkeepers, retailers and caterers in Rhinebeck have been sworn to secrecy about the event and inconvenienced local residents have been offered complimentary bottles of wine.

'We love it here'

Bill and Hillary Clinton arrived in Rhinebeck late on Friday. Mrs Clinton, wearing a long, green dress, waved to a cheering crowd waiting behind metal barricades and quickly went into a hotel.
Earlier in the day, Mr Clinton, looking fit and relaxed, had lunch in a Rhinebeck restaurant.
He took time afterwards to shake hands with kitchen staff and customers before emerging to an enthusiastic crowd of hundreds of people who shouted "Congratulations!" and "We love you!".
"We love it here," he told reporters. "Chelsea loves the area as well."
Asked about his future son-in-law, he said: "I like him very much. I really do. I admire him. Hillary feels the same way."
One of the questions being asked about the wedding is whether it will follow a particular religion's traditions.
Chelsea Clinton, 30, is a Methodist Christian while Marc Mezvinsky, 32, is Jewish.
