A very special wedding took place on July, 31 in a small town in New York State. Chelsea Clinton married Marc Mezvinsky. Chelsea is the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and the current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Marc is the son of two former Democratic members of Congress Marjoric Margolies Mezvinsky and Edward Mezvinsky. (27)The Clintons tried to keep the wedding top secret. Guests were not told where the wedding was to be held until a week before the event. But word leaked out that it was to take place in the town of Rhinebeck, about a two-hour drive from New York City. People and businesses in the town who were involved in the wedding were not permitted to talk about it. Reporters were not permitted to go near the wedding. Planes and news helicopters were not permitted to fly over it. About 400 people reportedly attended the wedding. (28) It was held in a huge tent on the grounds of a famous house called Astor Courts overlooking the Hudson River. The wedding included traditions from both religions of the bride and groom. Ms. Clinton is Methodist and Mr. Mezvinsky is Jewish. The wedding got an extreme amount of attention from the media. Some called it the wedding of the year—or the decade—or the century.
26. Why is the wedding mentioned in the passage special?
27. What can we learn about the wedding from the passage?
28. Where did the wedding take place?
选项 A、The media knew the details of the wedding beforehand.
B、The Clintons wanted to make the wedding private.
C、The bride and groom were too shy to invite the reporters.
