Iva Getty's Fantasy Wedding in SF

WHO?

Revolting...even more revolting ?...the fact Nancy Pelosi officiated the wedding...talk about tone deaf.

[quote] I was lucky enough to have stayed in the house where Ivy and Tobias celebrated their wedding,” Vogue contributing editor Hamish Bowles (who has also recently been appointed the Editor in Chief of World of Interiors) says. “It’s one of the great treasure houses of America, suffused with Ann’s alchemical touch.”

[italic]Mary.

Our greatest fear was that instead of slinging rice at us, it would be hot poo.

[quote]WHO?

An heiress from the wind-turbine family, Rose.

It appears that veil also doubled as a covid mask.

“Revolting...even more revolting ?...the fact Nancy Pelosi officiated the wedding...talk about tone deaf.”

‘You can't dance at two weddings at the same time’

It’s nice to see an original looking wedding dress. Princess cupcake downs are rarely actually stylish.

The point of most weddings is not to be stylish; it's to be traditional.

[quote]“Normally, I pick where we go out to eat, but this time Toby insisted he pick. This didn’t raise any red flags, but when I got to the restaurant, I thought to myself ‘Oh he really planned this. We had a table overlooking the entire island away from the rest of the restaurant. The waitress came, and we ordered our food. As the sun was getting ready to set, we went outside to take photos of it. Toby set his iPhone timer and got down on one knee. The timer went off at the perfect moment as we have the most incredible photo.”

The point of a wedding is to get married. Traditions evolved to support the commercial interests of the bridal industry.

Which is for most people to be traditional. Otherwise people would not have the festivities: they'd just do it at the county registrar's.

"WHO?"

The heir to the spagetty fortune, Rose

Gettys are so weird, all of them

I like the dress. Its unique. They look like a fun and stylish young couple. Good for them. I give them 5 years max. 3 if we start eating the rich.

" 3 if we start eating the rich. "

Gettys are all emaciated waifs, nothing to eat there

[quote] Which is for most people to be traditional. Otherwise people would not have the festivities: they'd just do it at the county registrar's

She didn’t get married in church as a virgin in white. Not many people do. Anyone who doesn’t isn’t traditional.

[quote] Gettys are all emaciated waifs, nothing to eat there

Little wonder her maid of honour was gaunt fashionista Anya Taylor Joy.

[quote] The point of a wedding is to get married.

You’re already married after you have the wedding license.

The headpiece (bridal) was horrible. Looked cheap, like tissue paper tucked into something at a diner table (Splenda holder, etc.).

Here's a closeup of the headpiece.

Oh my did you see he press on nails in that pick too ?!!! Trashy money. Ugg

Maison Margiela is unadulterated trash. I have zero problem with a non-traditional wedding — it is, in fact, my preference — but there are so many better houses to go with.

OMG, I actually took the time to look through the pictures, it looks more like set pictures to the prequel of "Rosemary's Baby"... "Rosemary's Wedding". That is the creepiest wedding

This is a case study in self-involved tacky wealth and excess. The guests as well as the wedding party look like the shallowest and most attention needy horrors. The bride is lucky she is rich because she is not a beauty.

Hahahaha! Every guy at the wedding was Gay... Including the groom

I know her uncle, Peter, whom I went to college with.

It's a very messed up family, of course, if you saw either the recent film about them with Christopher Plummer, or the miniseries. Iva exalts her grandmother Ann as if she were some sort of impeccable society doyenne, but of course Ann was just a stewardess when she met Gordon Getty, one of J. Paul Getty's sons; and Gordon, while fucked-up in his own way, is the relatively sanest of all the sons (the others are stranger and more messed up than the Roy children on "Succession," whom they greatly resemble).

How could the groom be gay with a beauty like this bride to make love with.

I like her nose. But then, I like prominent bony noses on men and women- gives such character than the generic nose jobs that everyone gets.

Yeah, sick of everybody getting nose jobs.

@r27, For a Getty she's actually a looker and she weighs all of a 100lbs... Behind her back the family calls her, "the fat one"

Hmm, interesting; the bride looks like one of Mick Jagger's daughters while the groom...looks like her younger brother. And he does have gay face for days.

Having gang from NY Social Diary as the guests was a nice touch, but it all looks more like a media event for all involved (including Nancy in a lovely Star Wars ensemble) than an actual wedding.

Choice of husband doesn't make much sense.

Why must Getty women look anorexic?

Over the top vulgar. I love it!

actually I don't think she looks anorexic, Ana Joy Taylor, on the other hand. In one of the pictures towards the end of the article, there's a side shot of her in which she literally looks like a skeleton with bad extensions

In all photos, husband has his head and body turned towards the bride. He does seem really into her even if posters are saying he has gay face. Good acting? I don't know.

The wedding party looks about 90% or 95% white.

This picnic (with all the red cloth) looks really forced and un-fun. Looks like Sandra from Semi-Homemade helped with the table scapes.

Those nails, ugh! says it all for me.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

The dress looks like it’s a mosaic of broken bathroom tile.

In the link just above, the photo to the right, she looks startlingly like Miss Piggy in that shot.

Anya Taylor Joy is clearly a raging drug addict.

Is this a transsexual? That dress is fucking hideous.

Thanks to DM to include an org chart so you can see how this one relates to Missing Ear Getty. Sure are a lot OD's on that family tree...

^Yes, it's amazing. Heroin runs in the family, LOL.

She looks trans.

The DM link takes an hour to load all the 50 ads and malware.

Not if you have Firefox it doesn't, because there ARE no ads or malware. (Just like Datalounge).

[quote]officiated by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi at City Hall in San Francisco

So this is what Nancy Pelosi is doing instead of, I don't know, actually governing.

Disgusting display of wealth and privilege. Notice that no one is masked, because masks are for the poors. Also this bitch is a model? She looks like a 40 year old drag queen.

Their love will last forever.

Nat is the trans Getty, married to "GiGi Girgeous", who is so not.

I was going to comment that the wedding was unbearably white but I noticed that one of the bridesmaids is Asian albeit with shaved eyebrows and platinum blonde dyed hair. Bizarre.

Daily Beast weighs in: [quote] It’s also a great example of austerity outrage porn:

Was Balthazar Getty there?

[quote] I was going to comment that the wedding was unbearably white but I noticed that one of the bridesmaids is Asian albeit with shaved eyebrows and platinum blonde dyed hair. Bizarre.

She also looks older than the rest of the wedding party. The rest of the wedding party (including the groomsmen) are white, though.

IFBalthazar'sH and ILHFMH.

Broken mirrors are bad luck!

[quote] The wedding party looks about 90% or 95% white.

They should have consulted you on what the proper diversity quotas should have been set at before the event was even planned!

"So this is what Nancy Pelosi is doing instead of, I don't know, actually governing. "

Nancy Pelosi is 80 years old, richer then God and doesn't give a flying fuck what you think she should be doing. At least what she does on her time is legal

Vanessa is a plastic surgery marvel. It looks like she’s wearing a mask.

Young. Rich. Revolting. Fame Whores.

I give it three years tops.

R59, I actually gasped (Mary!) when I encountered her photo. She could be the lead in House of Wax.

The groom has beautiful hair and skin. Is he straight?

I wouldn’t know R62. He’s a pretty accessory for my photo OP’s.

R54 she is also the heaviest so she checks two diversity boxes for the bride: (1) woman of color and (2) plus size/fatty.

R52 that pic is like a less attractive Courtney Love

This was certainly a very untraditional wedding and I can appreciate that. She looks like she had fun and that’s what matters.

[quote] You’re already married after you have the wedding license.

No, you’re not.

For a split second I thought she'd married Tim-O-Tay.

Vanessa Getty looks like a waxwork.

The majority of the guests appear to be somewhere on the Dita Von Teese spectrum.

That said I actually liked the dress and the groom is very cute.

Looks like he's pretty limber too, if the pic of him photographing his bride is anything to go by.

Apparently a Galiano dress made out of pieces of shard glass is pretty pricey.

[quote]The bride is lucky she is rich because she is not a beauty.

Well, she looks better after she had the facial plastic surgery.

Dad the (now dead) heroin addict was no looker.

Pre facial tweaking - yikes!

Well, mazel tov to the happy couple. Between the mother that looks like a waxworks figure & the considerable number of ODs in the family, genetics are not in their favor for a happy future, but let's hope these crazy kids beat the odds and at least make it 5 years.

Oh there’s definitely been some tweaking going on, R72.

Such a sweet intimate exchange of sacred, solemn vows. A gown of broken mirror shards….where to even begin. It’s like something out of a bizarre fairytale. She doesn’t seem that into her groom in the pictures, this is clearly her show and she’s the star. I’m sure he doesn’t mind, he’s set for life now, no matter how long it lasts. Lucky boy. Ka-ching!

[quote] Maison Margiela is unadulterated trash.

They have a lovely fragrance line.

R75, Agreed. Note that she routinely decided the choice of restaurant rather than making a joint decision or alternating who made the decision. She's got all of the power in their relationship. OK if that's what he can handle.

Why aren't all the photos watermarked "property of Getty images?"

Talk about a family cursed. What did they do for it to carry on this long. Kennedy's too..Man oh man!

That wedding gown and the chrome Lee Press-On claws are going to look ridiculous in 20 years, maybe sooner. The engagement ring looks cheap. It's supposed to be a sapphire, but it looks very black, although I admit I know nothing of gemstones.

She seems like a cool person and the husband is cute.

No, r19. That's just legal permission to wed.

I know, because then I got married by a judge in a courthouse.

R77, "Billions." Think "billions." Now are you still in doubt about what the groom can "handle"?

"The following day, guests joined the couple for a picnic lunch at the Log Cabin on Presidio, overlooking the city—IV drips were at the ready for anyone in need of help recovering from the night before."

the pictures in the daily mail piece reek of 'queer, but dating the opposite sex'. Who is Vanessa to the bride?

I love her dress and headpiece and thought she looked quite striking. Genuinely unique and memorable, a refreshing change from the usual nauseatingly frilly lace numbers. Too many brides look like Harvey Weinsteins ex- wife dressed them, this was different.

Great photographs, I enjoyed looking through the slideshow which is lengthy. The carpets placed in city hall is a nice touch. Nancy Pelosi who is a bad ass bitch and kept her foot dead up the former guy's obese ass, its an honor to have Sister Nance officiate. The wedding is expensive and luxurious but something is off about the scene. Too much bad surgery on the guests who are waxen in appearance with Zoolander duck lips. Dead grass in the pics of the picnic overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, distracting. The theme is not cohesive outside of WE HAVE LOTS OF FUCKING MONEY, HATERS.

I have to say I also really liked how the ceremony part looked - great location and done nice. Also the pictures of her in the Getty Mansion (I presume) were also lovely. August Getty needs to lay of the filler and lip pumping.......

the wedding gown is unflattering. The bride has a box like figure in the gown, I don't understand it. Her bridesmaid gowns are also unflattering aside from the slate blue color.

Can you imagine some white trash idiot in bumfuck with barely a pot to piss in, votes Republican so this lazy bitch gets a tax cut?

Well, actually, they vote Republican not so this lazy bitch gets a tax cut but for when they win Lotto and need it themselves.

R87, the issue is, there is no sane adult in charge with taste to control the entire thing. No competent parent or grandmother. Just idiot kids and yes-men wedding planners. So it's sprawling, decadent, coked up chaos.

Yes to R92 - there is no adult presence. No one mature enough to tell Little Miss and her anorexic groom to back that shit up.

By the way, somebody make these people some sandwiches.

I've eaten fatter celery sticks.

There is a wine or champagne cork in her tiara! It has a white metal top.

Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me.

There's a sense of much of it being done for the gram.

I thought she was trans

[quote] the wedding gown is unflattering. The bride has a box like figure in the gown, I don't understand it. Her bridesmaid gowns are also unflattering aside from the slate blue color.

I agree. I think it's an attempt at 1920s flapper style with the dropped waist, etc. The shards just added so much bulk. She must be super skinny to still look somewhat thin in that dress. The bridesmaids' dresses remind me of the Calvin Klein slip dresses from the '90s. Boring.

So she had to rent the mansion the family once owned?

So many fortunes lost: Hilton, Vanderbilt...

Not bad for a first wedding.

I simultaneously dry heaved and got a boner reading that Vogue article. If John Galliano comes knocking offering to design all the couture, bitch you best open the door. The pageantry. themes, pre and post party fabulousness makes my butthole twitch.

R99, no, they used the family abode. The house you link to is now a museum of Classical-Era culture.

Nancy fucking Pelosi officiated.

Really. Really this is why they hate us. She makes it so fucking easy.

I can't believe some people on this board have never heard of the Getty family.

Oh - and the post above was correct - lot of batshit crazy weird people in that rich family.

[quote] It's supposed to be a sapphire, but it looks very black, although I admit I know nothing of gemstones.

Sapphires can be almost any color except red.

If the mineral corundum (a translucent stone that is the hardest naturally occurring mineral except diamond) is red, then it's a ruby. But corundum of any other color--yellow, brown, orange, green, pink, purple, clear, black, blue--is a sapphire.

Blue is of course the most famous color (and one of the most highly prized) for sapphires, and that ring is probably a deep midnight blue that photographs as black.

Interesting R105! Is an emerald less hard than a ruby/sapphire?

R99 The wedding reception took place at the Getty home in SF. Your link is the old Getty Museum on Pacific Coast Hwy in Southern CA.

The bridesmaid's dresses were gasp, couture, and fucking HIDEOUS.

r108 well in that sense she IS following wedding tradition then by purposefully making the bridesmaids look ugly as to not upstage the bride.

Every male under 50 that I observed, pinged like a mutha, including the groom.

I loved her dress, hated her train and headpiece, loved the flowers, and was overwhelmed by the amount of money that must have been burned on such an in-your-fucking-face extravaganza. Did any of the guests or wedding party feel even a tinge of awkwardness or guilt as they sat comfortably in their limos passing by droves of SF homeless on the way to these over-the-top parties?

Did you get a load of the guy (they?) in the drum major hat?

R104, WTH hasn't heard of the Gettys?! That's like not recognizing the name "Rockefeller" or "Vanderbilt"!

Some people are criminally incurious about....well, anything and everything beyond whatever exists in their own restricted lives, really.

Getty Oil. J. Paul Getty Museum. Getty Center. Getty Images. Movies about or with Gettys.

You forgot the most famous Getty of all: Estelle Getty

The waxwork Getty is an aunt (?). The article fondly mentions her father and her grandmother (both recently deceased) but no mention of her mother. She wasn’t in any of the photographs.

Nat is the trans Getty, r97.

The headpiece must be deeply personal, it looks like it has GARBAGE on it. HIDEOUS!

What did you think of the ring bearer's outfit? Yes that's the bride's dog.

I agree that most of this seemed like it was staged for maximum social media exposure.

OTT weddings are a recipe for divorce in a few years' time. What day-to-day life, even if you are quite rich, can compare to this much luxury and attention?

Let's face it, the odds are VERY good that both of them will be full-blown junkies before too much longer.

R112 it might be unusual not to have heard of them because of the ridiculous media exposure they receive, but it’s not valuable information to know who the Gettys are. Wealthy people shouldn’t be required learning, its total trash tabloid fluff. If anyone knows too much about those types, or royals or whatever and wears that knowledge as a badge of honour, I take it as a real tell about their worldview.

The elusive Uncle Gavin was there [natch]

The boys are cute:

Auntie Nancy is positively GLOWING

Is the groom from money?

R123 she should be ashamed of herself.

That’s a butt ugly wedding dress.

The mother was at the wedding but is estranged from family. Her current occupation is waitress!!!

R121 Doncha know, damn it, he’s been trick-or-treating with his brats. He had no damn choice, he got a knot in his stomach after they staged an intervention, damn it.

I like the nuttiness. They're having fun and it keeps them off the hard drugs.

Her wedding dress is like one of Julian Schnabel's broken pottery paintings, only stupider, and designed by a Nazi sympathizer.

"Is the groom from money? "

He is now

"Her current occupation is waitress!!! "

Jesus, she should have spent the day digging for loose change in the furniture, with this group she could have probably retired

^^I don't think so Rose

I don't think any of Gettys married money. Must've been an ironclad prenup for the MOB waitress.

Her face has character (I also like a prominent nose). Her hair color is beautiful.

The Getty family is San Francisco royalty and they've donated a lot to California. I don't know much about them but I know they're a prominent philanthropic family in the area. If I'm wrong, correct me. I don't get the outrage for Nancy officiating.

R134 One of the Gettys married a Miller sister - Pia? Their dad was a multibillionaire and bought the "Prince" of Greece for one of his other daughters (the Millers support the Greek royal family, who are penniless without the Millers).

…and another “Prince” - Alexandre von Furstenburg - for his other daughter.

R135 Oh that’s right, Pia was a Getty for a period of time but has been divorced for years. I guess it must have been a friendly divorce as the feckless Marie-Chantal and Pavlos were there with their insipid daughter. They still insist on being the Crown Prince and Princess of Greece despite the monarchy being abolished decades ago.

Who is the woman with the Real Doll face?

What is the last name used by Prince Pavlos and his family? The kids use "of Greece" in their Instagram handles. Does it literally say "of Greece" on their drivers' licenses?

The dog is cute

Did Galiano get drunk and spew more anti-Semitic remarks like his oft quoted “I love Hitler... People like you would be dead today. Your mothers, your forefathers would all be f***ing gassed and f***ing dead”? Is all forgiven if the bride gets press and looks pretty?

R120, Did you even read my post at r12?

There's nothing "tabloid" or "trash" about the museum, the photo source, the oil company,...

That you regard knowledge of anything must be "useful" says a lot about YOUR world-view. Do you know only of farming methods and iron-ore smelting?

Whether Robber Barons or Magna Carta Barons (you are obviously a citizen of the UK/Commonwealth who detests the royals, of whom I said nothing, you little extrapolator, you), "the wealthy" are, indeed, often intimately involved in what normally is called "history." In the US, it's usually our industrial history.

I said nothing about the wedding of this weird child Iva. I referred only to one's not even having heard of the surname.

That ignorance is just sad.

R141, more likely because she is a Getty.

Eat the rich. Chew them up and spit them out.

Why is it strange Pelosi officiated? Would the pussy grabber be a better choice? Pelosi is high ranking rep from San Francisco.

God, how arrogant is Pelosi to hitch her wagon to the rich show..Like anyone is going to believe she cares for the little folk. Don't they think us little folk, read papers, have access to the internet. What a dumbass move on her part. And in a gold dress no less.. Yup Nancy the Leader of the People's Party.

Continue to worship at the shrine of Trump, R146.

Truly, a figure of the masses.

Gold dress. Not a gold toilet.

The simple answer to every question or observation in this thread is MONEY.

Pelosi has been a friend of the Gettys for decades, and she doesn't have to "hitch her wagon" to any rich show because she's worth a couple hundred million dollars herself. She lives in SF, and represents SF, so there's no reason she shouldn't have been at her friend's wedding.

How touching, R150.

"San Francisco classy". Like "LA Tasteful" or "DC fun".

Not sure if it's been posted yet or not, but

I'm glad that Ivy had the wedding of her dreams. I don't know what the beef is with her mother, but her dad being a druggie must have been really hard on Ivy. His death was such a sad waste.

Simply amazing. Eat shit Paris Hilton Reum. Your carnival has been outdone.

Pee Hilton's wedding was more conventional save for the guests who are strictly d list reality clown show alumni. No comparison.

I wonder if the broken mirror fragments were borrowed from her grandmother's "vaults" as well

Oh dear, the bride appears to have a lazy eye. How perfectly dreadful.

The groom looks like a little boy. I’d like to see him naked though. (As long as he’s 18)

Key Takeaway: Really rich old money types can do tacky with the best of them.

I love that the Town and Country article ends with this quote from the bride:

"I felt her presence with me the whole night," Ivy says. "I know she was looking down on Toby and me."

I dunno if the Getty wedding is tacky. Wacky? They wanted to do something different. Incoherently themed.

I like Paris Hilton's dress, but bitch is not fooling anyone. Neither is the guy she married.

[quote]The following day, guests joined the couple for a picnic lunch at the Log Cabin on Presidio, overlooking the city—IV drips were at the ready for anyone in need of help recovering from the night before.

This is a first for me. A wedding with a medic in attendance. How thoughtful.

WAS BALTHAZAR THERE?

R156- Paris' wedding isn't over yet. Today is the carnival/fair and tomorrow is the drunken blowout dinner/dance.

The groom pings. Who is this guy that Paris married?

[quote]His death was such a sad waste.

It's not like Ivy's dad was on the verge of finding a cure for cancer...Just another super rich person who decided to blow it all on drugs. He chose drugs over his child and others in his life.

R168 At least he didn't die on the bathroom floor from his colon exploding due to opioid + meth abuse like Andrew Getty. That was the worst Getty death.

Here is Ivy's dad. He was probably the most handsome Getty when he was young.

Balthazar Getty is the next best-looking Getty. I saw Balthazar's dad (John Paul Getty III) in my university's bookshop. His was enrolled for a time after the ear-slicing kidnapping. After he left college, he later overdosed and ended up blind and in a wheelchair. He died in 2011 at age 54. What an awful life. I'm sure that Balthazar had a lot of stress and heartache like Ivy.

The family is cursed by drugs. Such a stupid way to destroy your life.

JPG3 spent most of his adult life as a vegetable. He was a cute kid when the kidnapping happened. Except for Gordon and Ann, they’re all a mess.

Cute kids

The Fabulous ring bearer

A Princess and her Queens

I have new respect for JFK Jr’s extremely private and personal wedding.

And while I can appreciate an artful approach, I prefer Paris Hilton’s more traditionally beautiful confection of a gown.

The groom looks a little like a young Jason Gould.

I love that r174

[quote]Except for Gordon and Ann, they’re all a mess.

Gordon who had a secret second family? Four sons with wife Ann, three daughters with a longtime mistress. He's a mess, too.

Ann is dead and once Gordon goes, any of the culture associated with this family will go with him. All that will remain are a bunch of trashy, drug-addicted, do-nothing rich people.

How'd she swipe Diana Ross & The Supremes' ill-fated 2000 "Return To Love" mirrored gowns?

What a weird and conflicting message from San Francisco, my former favorite city. Gone to pot between extreme, undeserved wealth and the death and disease kept away by private security ensembles. At least they don't demand special privileges from cops! Yeah, right.

What will Chessa Boudin do to earn enough money so he can continue bleating his allegedly "progressive" BS? Who's going to give his poor lost boy ass enough funds so he can continue auto-fellating on public funds?

R172 I would call Gordon Getty a mess, seeing that he was leading a double life and had a secret second family in LA.

Impressive depth

Throwback: Uncle Gavin with daddy John Gilbert

[quote]An heiress from the wind-turbine family, Rose.

More like WHO gives a flying fuck about any of these rich slacker not-very-interesting bastards.

Gavin Newsom knows who his masters are, the billionaire elites. He serves them (and only them) quite faithfully.

R185 Newsom has been Gordon Getty's boy since he was in college. It was Gordon who funded his early career.

Poor Ivy, even post plastic surgery, her dad's face comes through. Yikes!

R184 is right on the money. The current crop of Gettys are losers, especially "Nat" a "clothing designer" who thinks she is interesting because she had a mastectomy. She is particularly pathetic.

Who is this "Nat"?

"Nat" is a Getty offspring, a wealthy fame whore who underwent a non-medically necessary mastectomy. I understand she is married to a man who underwent a breast augmentation, and who wears pancake makeup and dresses.

They are a 21st century version of Jack Sprat, who could eat no fat and his wife who could eat no thin.

Nats Getty’s coming out as Trans statement

Nats with m-to-f girlfriend Gigi Gorgeous.

Do y’all think Nats might have a little Body Dysmorphia issue?

Oops they’re actually married

[quote]Ann is dead and once Gordon goes, any of the culture associated with this family will go with him. All that will remain are a bunch of trashy, drug-addicted, [italic]do-nothing[/italic] rich people.

Balthazar works steadily so there's that.

Yuck.

Contrasted with Paris Hilton's wedding this is BY FAR more fabulous. I mean, if you can get Galliano to design everything go for it. The picnic was a lovely idea and I like that they were married at city hall. I was prepared to hate this but they did it right.

That dress looks like a mosaic table top.

[quote]Why is it strange Pelosi officiated? Would the pussy grabber be a better choice? Pelosi is high ranking rep from San Francisco.

Wouldn't the more appropriate official be the SF mayor, and longtime family friend Pelosi could attend still and largely avoid the spotlight like the governor. I wonder if, as sentimental as Ivy comes off, she asked Newsom on to officiate because he and her father were friends since childhood. (Newsom's late father was the family lawyer who communicated/negotiated with the kidnappers and, if IIRC, also delivered the ransom). If so, Newsom was wise to turn it down. Remember the French Laundry photo?

Glad poor Ivy never got propositioned by the younger, drunken, having an affair with an 18 yo Newsom.

R198, she would never touch the help.

[quote]propositioned by the younger, drunken, having an affair with an 18 yo Newsom.

I haven't heard about this one. He had an affair with his campaign manager's wife when he was running for reelection as SF mayor. She gave an interview recently and it was clear she's in a 12 step program without explicitly saying. Nothing me too about. She took responsibility and was clearly remorseful.

So who's the 18 year old?

Oh dear R200, you must have been hibernating through years of SF political drama.

Brittanie Mountz. Tremendous name.

OMG r199: Bravo!

Brittanie Mountz.....I bet she does!

Thank you, r 201. I was in a bad state (no pun intended) of my life dealing with an Alzheimer's parent when Newsom was running for Jerry's seat and I was moving across country.

I read Marcos Brenton's editorial demonizing Newsom's approach to his long-term alcoholism -- I can train myself when to drink and I did-- before he wed and shot out four sprogs

People in the wedding audience wore masks.

I'm sorry, luv, I already gave the part to Cate Blanchett.

And Liv Tyler got the other part.

[quote]Ivy is the great-granddaughter of oil tycoon Jean Paul Getty and granddaughter of Gordon Peter Getty, who was on the Forbes 400 list of the wealthiest Americans before his passing.

The Daily Mail didn't try very hard on this story. Gordon is not only still living, he gave the bride away.

LMAO! "Sometimes we can still hear him."

Here is an old article about Ann Getty and her home. I love her 3 dogs and Christmas tree.

I like the mirrored dress but what if she sat down in it? Would she get an ass full of broken glass like William Holden in Sabrina?

I have to admit, even though this bunch looks like a dumpster fire of a family that makes the Roys on Succession look like the Waltons (the TV show, not the Walmart people), the whole over the top, let them eat cake, decadent overindulgence is fascinating to look at. Gav is smart to let Nancy preside over this over the top circus and I'll bet in whatever opium den Junior is living these days, Kimmy is just *raging* that she wasn't there

The Getty wealth has been distributed over multiple generations and each Getty has less and less with each generation.

Their time is over, as they are "poor" compared to the tech guys that now run SF. Unlike Gordon, they have no interest in classical music and baroque paintings.

The veil is stunning. And original. Like something Theda Bara would wear. It deserved a better dress to go with it.

Is it all way too much? Yes it is. Ridiculously so. Is it still nice to look at? Also, yes.

I can't wait for Gordon to die to see how his money is divided between his legitimate sons and bastard daughters.

The "bastard" daughters all now have the surname of Getty - they went to court for that. Things are different now, as opposed to the medieval ages. The Getty fortune will continue to diminish, as Gordon's measly 3 billion will be divided amongst 7.

[quote]as Gordon's measly 3 billion will be divided amongst 7

Amongst seven??? Try five, sweets. Things are different now, two of the sons are dead.

Oh dear R217, you clearly know few rich people. The dead heroin addict with the daughter - she gets his share. I am not sure the other drug addict had kids. See how that works?

If their billions are dwindling down, why don't these trust fund assholes try to acquire some actual skills, then open their own companies? They should invest their trust funds to make more money.

Most of these trust funders, who don't work, always seem so dim, they likely don't hire the correct money people to help them invest properly. They are too busy traveling, drinking and taking drugs.

IIRC, Nat, the one who claimed be a lesbian, then got her tits cut off, is supposedly a 'fashion designer'.

Can anyone explain why the super rich are so often drug addicts? Boredom? No purpose in life or real interests?

Much easier to understand those with PTSD and a super challenging, difficult life needing a total mental break from hardship.

No purpose in life and their parents literally want nothing to do with most of them. Even if they have amazing parents, it's way easier to leave shit to nannies, drivers, night nurses, teachers and then send them away to some grim boarding school. That shit is traumatic. It's amazing how junkies all end up the same, money or not. They all even look the same.

The Happy Valley set, not. People like Ivy and the gay man she married just aren't interesting at all. I prefer reading about the shenanigans of British upper class of yore, especially when living in one of the (now former) colonies.

I looked up grandpa Gordon's Wikipedia page and it's the least descriptive and shortest of any wealthy or notable person on the site One paragraph each for Early Life and Personal Life. Even the career section was very abbreviated.

That and in the case of the Gettys I reckon a genetic predisposition to addiction.

The sheer and unadulturated ENVY on this thread should be bottled up and saved to use for rocket fuel to propel us out of earth the day it expires.. lol.3

R225, Definitely not jealous. Just sad at wasted lives due to addiction whether rich or poor. However one would think that the former have a lot more options including resort-style rehab.

Loved the pics and the ring bearer

R219 Work?!

This one did, r219. Maybe being based in the UK and Europe was a buffer?

Bump

I think we're pretty much done talking about this wedding.

I wonder how the newlyweds are doing. Is there a sense of....that was exciting, now what? Like that last scene of the The Graduate.

What’s Auntie Nancy up to?

Better check your sources R232. Pelosi is NOT buying a 25M mansion in FLA. Stop posting bullshit.

This makes me want to vomit.
