It's the wedding of the summer for high-society liberals.
Former Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin and her financier scion fiancé Alex Soros will tie the knot at a glamorous Hamptons wedding attended by panoply of left-leaning power players Saturday.
Abedin, 48, the ex-wife of disgraced former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner, will marry Soros, 39, the son of lefty billionaire investor George Soros, at the family's lavish $14.5 million estate in Southampton.

Hillary, Bill and Chelsea Clinton are on the guest list along with Barack and Michelle Obama and several European prime ministers connected to George Soros' grantmaking foundation Open Society, a source told Page 6.
Some of the couple's A-list guests will be flown by helicopter from Manhattan for the festivities, which famed Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, banker James Rothschild and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt are also likely to attend.
The big day will come after the lovebirds were set to host an exclusive rehearsal dinner, catered by Marie Eiffel, at Soros' mother's abode on Shelter Island Friday.
Liberal power players like the Clintons are expected to attend the wedding.The politically connected power couple got engaged in New York City last May after meeting at a birthday party thrown by Rothschild for his wife, Nicky Hiltonin, in the fall of 2023.
They later celebrated the engagement with a trip to Italy.
Before meeting Abedin, Soros, who sits on the investment committee for Soros Fund Management, had long been a bachelor, he told New York Magazine in April.
'I hadn't been in a relationship for a very long time — ten years or something like that — that had lasted for more than three months. And it's, like, the first time I realized I had been mistaking lust for love,' he said of their romance.
'There's a certain kind of stability and comfort,' Abedin said of the likeminded nature of their relationship.
George Soros, whose estimated net worth is $7.2 billion, has been a major donor to liberal campaigns, organizations and causes.
Earlier this year, the couple sent emerald green cards to friends declaring, 'Please save the date for the wedding celebration of Huma Abedin and Alex Soros,' on 'Saturday, June 14, 2025,' adding, 'Invitation to follow.'
Weiner, who has a 13-year-old son with Abedin, will not attend the wedding.

Boeing trims projection for 20-year jet demand
Boeing expects global demand for air travel to increase by more than 40% by 2030, driving the need for thousands of new jetliners in the next few years, according to its 20-year demand forecast for commercial airliners released Sunday ahead of the Paris Airshow. The company expects demand for 43,600 new airliners through 2044. That is essentially the same as last year's edition, which projected demand for 43,975 new deliveries through 2043. European rival Airbus last week revised up its own 20-year commercial demand forecast by 2% to 43,420 jets, saying the air transport industry was expected to ride out current trade tensions. Boeing's delivery projection includes nearly 33,300 single-aisle airliners, just over 7,800 widebody jets, 955 factory-built freighters and 1,545 regional jets. Single-aisle jets include the 737 MAX and competitor Airbus's A320neo family and make up roughly four of every five deliveries now. While Boeing's deliveries projection is roughly the same, it pared down its 20-year forecast for passenger traffic growth from 4.7% in last year's outlook to 4.2% this year. Likewise, it lowered its global economic growth forecast from 2.6% to 2.3%, cargo traffic growth from 4.1% to 3.7% and fleet growth from 3.2% to 3.1%. Despite the lower projection for cargo traffic, Boeing Vice President of Commercial Marketing Darren Hulst told reporters in a briefing that trade volatility is not expected to significantly shift long-term demand. "I think we need to point back to the perspective that the last 20, 40, 60 years have given us in terms of the value of air cargo, and the fact that it's roughly a 4% growth market through all this time," he said. Since Covid-19, air travel demand has bounced back, but airplane production is only half or even less than what it was before the pandemic, resulting in a shortage of 1,500 to 2,000 airliners, he said. Both Airbus and Boeing have struggled to return aircraft production to pre-pandemic levels. Boeing has been dealing with production safety concerns following a 2024 mid-air blowout of a panel on a nearly new Alaska Airlines 737 Max. As a result, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration capped 737 production at 38 airplanes a month. Boeing has significantly improved production quality in recent months, but the crash of an Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner on Thursday put it back in crisis mode. CEO Kelly Ortberg cancelled his plans to attend the Paris Airshow in order to assist with the crash investigation. Global air travel is projected to increase by more than 40% by 2030, compared to the pre-pandemic high, according to the forecast. During the next 20 years, Boeing expects about 51% of demand for new aircraft to come from growth rather than replacing older airplanes. China and South/Southeast Asia, which includes India, are expected to account for half of that additional capacity, according to the outlook. North America and Eurasia account for more than half of projected deliveries for replacing older aircraft. China makes up an estimated 10% of Boeing's existing order backlog. The country paused taking delivery of new Boeing aircraft as China and the U.S. clashed over tariffs. However, deliveries are expected to resume this month, Ortberg said in May during an investors conference.

The two share a 13-year-old son named Jordan. Alex is the son of 93-year-old billionaire George Soros, and the chairman of Open Society Foundations (OSF), the $25 billion grant-making foundation founded by his father. He previously spent two years as president of his father's super PAC, which works to support Democratic politicians, according to the Washington Post. Read the original article on People
