Assuming everything went according to plan, Jann Wenner’s son Alex walked down the aisle with his longtime girlfriend this Saturday while you spent the entire weekend draping yourself over the air-conditioning.

ROLLING Stone editor Jann Wenner’s eldest son, Alex Wenner, will marry his longtime girlfriend, Emily, today at the Villa des Amis on Scuttlehole Road in Bridgehampton - with no financial help from his media-mogul dad. Insiders say Alex is “paying for the small wedding himself.” The rehearsal dinner was held last night at the East Hampton house of Alex’s mother, Jane Wenner. We’re told Alex, who was said to have a spotty attendance record at NYU, is a computer genius.

And we can’t help but admire Alex’s staunch refusal to accept any favors (financial or otherwise) from his father. (You know, kind of like Ben Wasserstein, only the opposite!) Meanwhile, we’re not entirely sure why the bride’s family didn’t foot the bill, but presumably they figured having Jann Wenner as an in-law was already payment enough.
