Chelsea Clinton Announces Engagement Via E-Mail: Etiquette Do or Don’t?

Former first-daughter Chelsea Clinton is engaged. Her longtime love Marc Mezvinsky is the lucky guy – he popped the question on Thanksgiving Day in New York. The happy couple sent out an e-mail Friday announcing their big news to family and friends, reports People.com. It read: "We're sorry for the mass email but we wanted to wish everyone a belated Happy Thanksgiving! We also wanted to share that we are engaged! We didn't get married this past summer despite the stories to the contrary, but we are looking toward next summer and hope you all will be there to celebrate with us. Happy Holidays! Chelsea & Marc."
