Donald Trump's Wedding
 On Saturday January 22nd Donald Trump took a walk down the aisle for the
third time to marry 34 year old long time love interest Slovanian born model
Melania Knauss. As you can imagine this wedding was filled with all the of
the excitment, glitz and glamour that we have come to know from Donald
Trump. It seems as if everything this man does, he does bigger and better
than anyone else. Trump is a 58 year real estate mogul and business man
who is reportedly the largest land holder in New York City. His show, The
Apprentice, although slipping in the ratings is no less a reality show
staple and favorite of fans of this genre.

The wedding ceremony took place at Bethesda-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in
Palm Beach Florida. The Trump's wedding party was made up of Melania's
sister Ines as the Maid of Honor, Trump's sons Donald Jr. and Eric as his
best men. Trumps daughter Ivanka performed a reading during the ceremony.
The wedding reception followed immediately and continued until the break of
dawn at the world famous Trump Maralago 18 acre golf resort and escape. The
multiple course dinner culminated with Fliet Mignon covered in Green
Peppercorn sauce, the cake was a 5 foot high Grand Marnier chiffon confection
with butter cream lined with roses made from white icing. One of Trumps
favorite New York City Chefs Jean-Georges Vongerichten handled all the
details.
400 guests attended the wedding and reception and as you can imagine
included stars of TV, Sports, Movies, Politics and Business including Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger and wife Maria Shriver, Catherine Zeta Jones and
Michael Douglas, Bruce Willis, Prince Charles, Clint Eastwood, Oprah
Winfrey, David Letterman, Kelly Ripa, Usher, Elton John, Billy Joel,
Luciano Pavartti, Shaq, Derek Jeter, Muhammad Ali, Larry King and Howard
Stern among others. No word if Bill Ransik and Kelly Perdue, winners of the
past two Apprentice shows were in attendance.
Melania's wedding gown, valued between $100,000 and $200,000 was made
especially for her by Christian Dior. The dress is a white strapless satin
gown with over 300 feet of material including 1500 crystal rhinstones and
pearls all hand sewn. A 13 foot train and a 16 foot veil complete the package
to make Melania Mrs. Trump The Third! Donald Trump wore a white tie and
white cummerbun to complete his Brioni Tuxedo, do you think he rented at Mr.
Tux?
