Little Chelsea Clinton all grown up into a young woman is now an old married lady. She got married yesterday, Saturday evening, to her longtime boyfriend, Marc Mezvinsky, in Rhinebeck, N.Y., in the manner befitting an American princess, at an exclusive estate along New York's Hudson River. Her family released the photos, which are now all over the Internet. See the video.

Why was the wedding of Chelsea Clinton's an important event? Well, it brought a little bit of bright sunshine. It was a reminder of happier times not so long ago. It was a reminder of a few of the things which are very important: Family -- marriage is the union of families, Romantic love -- marriage is the union of two people. Eye pleasing ritual and ceremony -- people love a ceremony and a nation needs rituals.

Of course, the wedding was Chelsea Clinton's moment, and it was an American moment.
