Huma Abedin, a former aide to Hillary Clinton, was seen beaming with joy in spite of the rain as she married the heir of billionaire philanthropist George Soros. The opulent celebration took place in the Hamptons and was graced by at least one former president and several high-profile Democrats.
The 49-year-old bride looked stunning in a sophisticated off-the-shoulder, cream-colored gown that flowed to the floor, complete with buttons running down the back as she exchanged vows with financier Alex Soros, 39, as revealed in exclusive photos by DailyMail.com.
Designed by Givenchy, the custom dress featured a delicate belt and olive branch embroidery, tastefully incorporating the couple’s initials into the design, as reported by Vogue magazine, which secured an agreement to cover the wedding.
The gown made by Sarah Burton was one of two dresses Abedin wore for her nuptials, with the other designed by Erdem Moralıoğlu.
Our exclusive photos show Democrat insider Abedin looking relaxed and happy as she greeted famous guests – which included Vogue editor Anna Wintour – at the Soros’ sprawling 12-bedroom Hamptons estate in Water Mill.
Abedin was closely accompanied by her son, whom she shares with disgraced politician, Anthony Weiner, 60, who she divorced after he was jailed for sexting a minor.
Weiner, who is attempting a NYC political comeback with a city council run, is not thought to have attended the wedding.
The Soros’ 12-bedroom, 10-bathroom Georgian mega mansion was surrounded by tight security, including sniffer dogs and Secret Service agents guarding Abedin’s former boss Hillary and ex-president Bill who were driven down the long driveway in a motorcade of blacked out SUVs.

Former president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle were also on the guest-list, according to Page Six.
George and Amal Clooney, and the fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg and her husband, the media mogul Barry Diller, were also thought to have been among the high-profile attendees.
Scores of blacked out chauffeur driven minivans and luxury cars queued to ferry the couple’s well-heeled guests through the estate’s main gate.
Huge white tents were erected on the property, giving guests shelter from the almost constant rain and cold that threatened to overshadow the couple’s special day.
But not everyone was in a celebratory mood for the nuptials.
Locals claimed residents were not told in advance about the large-scale event, which saw police drafted in to manage the backlogs of traffic that built up along the road.
One woman, who did not want to be named, criticized the family as ‘the worst kind’ of ‘limousine liberals’, and accused them of being hypocritical in funding apparently anti-police initiatives while local cops handled their wedding traffic outside.
In a bizarre moment, a group of college students in fancy dress arrived close to the front gate of the property and took a selfie.

On Friday, the happy couple hosted a rehearsal dinner for dozens of family members and friends at the waterfront estate of Soros’ mother, Susan Weber, on Shelter Island, in the exclusive enclave of Dering Harbor.
The Mail’s exclusive pictures showed Abedin dazzling in a mid-length champagne-colored dress with flutter sleeves and matching heeled sandals as she mingled with guests.
The groom-to-be complimented his bride in a light brown suit with matching shoes.
Soros boasts an impressive portfolio of at least 11 homes, including two in the Hamptons, and another in Katonah, an exclusive area in Westchester, New York.
The famously private philanthropist, reportedly worth $25billion, has transferred a raft of properties to the names of his closest advisers over the years.
