Donald & Melania Trump

Donald Trump married Melania Trump in a spectacular wedding in Palm Beach, Florida, on January 22, 2005. Many of the guests were offered complimentary accommodations at Mar-a-Lago. They pampered them with bathrobes embroidered with their initials, spa treatments, and golf rounds before the wedding.

The former model looked stunning in a Christian Dior wedding gown with 300 feet (91 meters) of silk and weighed more than four stones. Melania could hardly walk in the spectacular $148,000 dress, yet it put her on the cover of Vogue magazine. She wore a bespoke set of rosary beads intertwined with flowers instead of a bouquet. The color scheme was “classic white,” and the centerpieces were 1.5-meter tall hydrangeas, roses, orchids, and gardenias. Outside, a jet flew overhead with a banner reading “Melania, You’re Hired,” a play on Trump’s catchphrase from The Apprentice. The wedding is said to have cost around $1 million, but given their investment money, it could have cost much more.
