Trump said he would like to attend his eldest son's wedding but may not be able to because of other urgent commitments, including Iran-related issues. He described the situation as difficult, saying attending could be dangerous and not attending would bring criticism. Trump said the wedding would be a small private affair and expressed hope that the couple will have a great marriage. Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson are reported to marry in the Bahamas over Memorial Day weekend at an intimate ceremony on a private island. They reportedly considered a White House wedding but avoided it due to optics concerns while the Iran war continues. A bridal shower at Mar-a-Lago in April was attended by several members of the Trump family and Don Jr.'s daughter Kai. Anderson’s parents are identified as Palm Beach philanthropist Inger Angerson and late banker Harry Loy Anderson Jr. The report also notes Don Jr. ended an engagement with Kimberly Guilfoyle in 2024 and that Trump appointed Guilfoyle as U.S. Ambassador to Greece.
"“He'd like me to go. It's going to be just a small little private affair,” Trump said in the Oval Office. “I'm going to try and make it. I'm in the midst I said, You know, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things. That's one I can't win on. If I do attend, I get killed. If I don't attend I get killed by the fake news of course I'm talking about.”"
"“But he's uh and a very person I've known for a long time. And hopefully they're going to have a great marriage, the president said.”"
"Page Six reported that 48-year-old Trump Jr. and 39-year-old Anderson will marry over Memorial Day weekend, in front of a small group of family and friends at an intimate ceremony on a private island in the Bahamas. The couple had reportedly considered a White House wedding, but a source said they were concerned about the optics as the Iran war rages on. “They're very aware that a lavish wedding at the White House while people are dying wouldn't be well-received,” a source told Page Six."
"Palm Beach socialites hosted an enchanted garden-themed bridal shower at Mar-a-Lago for Anderson in April, according to the report. The party was attended by Ivanka Trump, Lara Trump, Tiffany Trump, and Marla Maples, as well as Don Jr.'s 19-year-old daughter, Kai Trump. Anderson's mother is Palm Beach philanthropist Inger Angerson, and her father is late banker Harry Loy Anderson Jr., according to the report."
