A rare concentration of wealth and power gathered in the Hamptons over the weekend for the wedding of Huma Abedin, a longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, and Alex Soros, the son of George Soros. The star-studded event brought together big-money politics, Clinton-era insiders, and liberal philanthropy.
The guest list included Mrs. Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton; former Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff; Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Hakeem Jeffries, among others. Celebrities like Nicky Hilton Rothschild and cultural figures like Vogue editor Anna Wintour were also in attendance.
The wedding, held at Mr. Soros’s estate, featured a smaller ceremony on Friday to honor both Ms. Abedin’s Muslim faith and Mr. Soros’s Jewish heritage. The couple announced their engagement last July and initially planned to elope but changed their minds after pressure from friends, including Mrs. Clinton.
As the festivities unfolded, protesters gathered across the country to oppose President Trump, while attacks between Israel and Iran raised concerns about a wider Mideast conflagration. In contrast, the Hamptons provided a calm and luxurious backdrop for the wedding party.
Mr. Soros, 39, has become a prominent figure in liberal philanthropy and is likely to remain a major part of the scene for decades. His romance with Ms. Abedin has captivated high society, particularly given her previous husband’s involvement in scandals. The couple will cement their status as a political it-couple with this marriage.
