Huma Abedin and Alex Soros
Abedin, 48, and Alex, 39, tied the knot at their home in Water Mill, New York. According to Vogue, they initially intended to elope, but that plan changed during an engagement party co-hosted by the former political aide’s longtime boss, Hillary Clinton. Their guests persuaded them that their idea to elope was “nonsense.”
“It was an unexpectedly wonderful journey,” Abedin told the outlet. “We got engaged with no plans to have a wedding. We talked about hosting small dinners in different cities because we have close family and friends all over the world. But once we decided to have a wedding, or rather when we were instructed to have a wedding by Hillary and Anna [Wintour], who pulled out their calendars and suggested the date — it was set.”
The pair held two ceremonies over their wedding weekend. On Friday, June 13, they were joined by a small gathering of family and friends at Alex’s father George Soros’ Southampton home to sign the nikah in honor of Abedin’s Muslim faith and the ketubah in honor of Alex’s Jewish heritage. Abedin wore a custom Erdem lace dress for the occasion.
The couple then had a larger celebration on Saturday at their home, with the bride in an off-the-shoulder ivory silk satin-backed crepe gown designed by Givenchy’s Sarah Burton and the groom in a blue Dior tux.
Alex saw Abedin’s wedding dress for the first time at the ceremony. “Huma was adamant that I not see her dress, so there was an element of surprise,” he told Vogue. “Ultimately, I will remember looking into her eyes and holding her hands the whole time.”
Despite the unexpectedly chilly and rainy weather, the couple’s guests made a stylish showing. Many of the women embraced the floral-themed dress code, wearing colorful printed looks. Harris looked glamorous in a glittery midnight blue dress, while Lawrence wore a golden, robe-style dress with fan and floral details.

“We danced until 3 a.m.,” Abedin told Vogue of the late-into-the-night celebrations.
Reflecting on the magical weekend, she said, “I feel like a tsunami of love washed over us. I’m overwhelmed with joy. In a state of bliss and gratitude.”
Alex added: “I’m also overwhelmed — but in a good way — by the love, the warmth. To see the reaction of friends and family, really the whole thing feels surreal. I feel so lucky.”
