In an interview with NBC's Andrea Mitchell in Islamabad on Sunday, Clinton was asked about former President Bill Clinton's role in the ceremony.
"You should assume that if he makes it down the aisle in one piece it's going to be a major accomplishment," Clinton said with a laugh. "He is going to be so emotional, as am I."
The 30-year-old Chelsea plans to tie the knot with investment banker Marc Mezvinsky on July 31 in Rhinebeck, in upstate New York.
Clinton stuck to her pledge not to reveal wedding details.
"My lips are sealed," she said, adding, "I am under very strict orders not to talk about," since it is a private matter.
Asked what she saw as the significance of this being an interfaith union, Clinton said it says a lot about the couple's relationship. Clinton is Christian; Mezvinsky is Jewish.
"Over the years, so many of the barriers that prevented people from getting married, crossing lines of faith or color or ethnicity have just disappeared," she said. "Because what's important is: 'Are you making a responsible decision? Have you thought it through? Do you understand the consequences?' And I think in the world that we're in today we need more of that."

@"I am under very strict orders not to talk about," since it is a private matter.
That's what I liked the most (unlike the crazy media-attention-seeking celebs). Well done and Good luck guys.

Congratulation Chelsea & Marc – With lot of blessings for an eternal happy life! From Our Master.
Chelsea, you are a wonderful lady who decided to stop eating poor defenseless animals when you were 11 years old. That shows your inner beauty and kindness from past life karma. You make sure that Mark and your children follow your path of kindness and love towards helpless souls rather cutting animals slowly bleed to death or otherwise and eat them too. In fact you can show the light to the world, if you one day decide to do so. You got those qualities. This quality of yours is the reason for bringing the true world peace. Here were spoken great words of wisdom over 2,500 years ago by great Master Pythagoras: “The strict law of karma deals measure for measure with anyone who violates the laws of nature. As long as the people of this world continue to murder and eat their two most benign friends, the cow and the bull, they will perpetually suffer the sinful reactions of criminal violence and catastrophic wars.” Pythagoras further stated: “Those who kill animals for food will be more prone than vegetarian to torture and kill their fellow men.” Leo Count Tolstoy: “How can you expect peace when your stomachs are the living graves of the murdered defenseless animals?”
British Poet William Wordsworth writes in his famous poet ‘Intimations of Immorality’: “Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting.” And in another poem, he addressed the following lines to an infant:
“Oh, sweet new-comer to the changeful earth,
If, as some darkling seers have boldly guessed,
Thou hadst a being and a human birth,
And wert erewhile by human parents blessed,
Long, long before thy present mother pressed
Thee, helpless stranger, to her fostering breast.”
Bhagwan Sri Krishn bless you and Marc
