President Barack Obama says he did not make the guest list for Chelsea Clinton's wedding.

In an interview on ABC's daytime talk show The View, Obama said he was not invited because former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wanted the event to be about their daughter and her future husband.

Obama says that is probably for the best, joking that it will be tough enough to have one president at the wedding.

Clinton will wed investment banker Marc Mezvinsky on Saturday evening (local time) in Rhinebeck, NY.

The wedding along the Hudson River will be under a no-fly zone.

The Federal Aviation Administration says local airspace will be restricted from 3:00pm Saturday to 3:30am Sunday.

FAA spokesman Jim Peters says that decisions to restrict air space are made in consultation with other federal agencies. He could not confirm whether the Secret Service requested this one.

The FAA website says the restriction will be in place for "VIP (Very Important Person) Movement" but did not elaborate.
