At one of the exclusive parties that James Rothschild usually hosts in New York, Huma Abedin (48) - former advisor to Hillary Clinton - and Alex Soros (39), one of the five children of George Soros, one of the wealthiest and most influential men on the planet with a fortune of 6.7 billion dollars, met.
Since they exchanged words in the fall of 2023, the couple knew they were meant for each other. The weekend of June 13-15 had various events. The celebrations took place at the Soros family estate in Water Mill and in the Hamptons, where the wealthiest New Yorkers spend their summers. Details are scarce as the couple wanted a private wedding, and it seems that's what they got.
On Friday, the rehearsal dinner was held in Shelter Island, where the groom's mother, Susan Weber Soros, who was married to the billionaire from 1983 to 2005, owns a 400-square-meter mansion. The Daily Mail was the only media outlet to obtain exclusive images. On Saturday, it was Southampton's turn, where George Soros owns his estate.
Due to the different religions of the couple, two ceremonies were held. The first involved the Nikah in honor of Huma's Muslim faith and the Ketubah in honor of Alex's Jewish heritage, attended by family and close friends. The grand ceremony on Sunday was attended by the rest of their friends, but details about the menu, decorations, and music at the reception are unknown.
It has been revealed that the bride's son, Jordan, 13 years old, had a prominent role in the ceremony. The young boy is the son of former New York congressman Anthony Weiner, who spent 21 months in prison for sending sexual messages and photos to a 15-year-old.
Details about the wedding dresses of Huma Abedin are known as she gave an interview to Vogue US. One was a Givenchy creation made of ivory silk crepe with satin lining and off-the-shoulder sleeves. The accessories were simple: satin sandals from Loeffler Randall and Victorian diamond earrings from Briony Raymond.
The other dress is from the Canadian based in London Erdem Moralolu, who finds inspiration in libraries. Very few details are known, except that it has an ethereal and refined style. The accessories include Aquazzura sandals and long diamond and pearl earrings from Camilla Dietz Bergeron.
It is assumed that the exclusive coverage will be in Vogue US as one of the attendees was Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of the magazine and a close friend of the bride. Among the guests, it is said that George and Amal Clooney, Barack and Michelle Obama, Diane von Fürstenberg and her husband Barry Diller, and of course, the Clintons attended. It was undoubtedly a high-profile Democratic gathering.
Hillary Clinton has been like a second mother to Huma since she started working in the White House after receiving a scholarship at 19. The former First Lady told Vogue, "I am eager to witness their marriage; the celebration we will all be part of; to see so many lifelong friends gathered in one place to truly enjoy being part of Huma and Alex's marital journey."
Alex Soros was appointed by his father as the heir to the Open Society Foundations (OSF), the parent company overseeing investments and charitable acts worth 23 billion dollars. Huma Abedin continues to work as a political advisor.
