Bettina Anderson and Donald Trump Jr. tied the knot in a ceremony on a private island in the Bahamas on Saturday.
The couple said “I do” in front of an intimate group of approximately 40 people that included his five children, as well as his famous siblings, Ivanka, Eric and Tiffany Trump, and their spouses.
Anderson’s family and a few very close friends of the bride were also present.
“Don and Bettina are wonderful together. I’m so proud to have witnessed so much of their journey as a couple. They truly light up around each other and it’s been amazing watching their story unfold. Couldn’t be happier for them on their special day,” Eric Trump told Page Six.
We hear Lewis Miller Design, who led a flower arranging class for Meghan Markle’s baby shower and has planned several events for Carolina Herrera, was responsible for planning the wedding. The cake was by Palm Beach bakery Sweet Stacy’s. Upscale stationer Bernard Maisner created the menu in calligraphy.
The pair were initially eyeing a White House wedding, but decided to tone things down due to the war in Iran. However, they plan on doing a larger celebration with friends and extended family later this year, possibly at the White House.
“While I very much wanted to be with my son, Don Jr., and the newest member of the Trump Family, his soon to be wife, Bettina, circumstances pertaining to Government, and my love for the United States of America, do not allow me to do so,” the Commander in Chief wrote via Truth Social Friday, one day after the pair legally tied the knot in Palm Beach, Florida.
“I feel it is important for me to remain in Washington, D.C., at the White House during this important period of time.”
Page Six exclusively revealed in December that Trump Jr., 48, and Anderson, 39 — whose mother is Palm Beach philanthropist Inger Angerson and father is late banker Harry Loy Anderson Jr. — were engaged. And after we published the story, video emerged of the president announcing the betrothal at the White House later that evening.
She held her “enchanted garden”-themed bridal shower at Mar-a-Lago in April attended by Ivanka, Lara Trump, Tiffany and Marla Maples. Kai Trump, 19, who is Trump Jr.’s daughter with his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, also stopped by, according to a spy.
The luncheon was hosted by Palm Beach socialites Yaz Hernandez, Amy Phelan and Audrey Gruss with guests including Daphne Oz, Dina Powell McCormick, Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger, Andrea Wynn and Bret Baier’s wife, Amy Baier.
