Donald Trump Jr. married Bettina Anderson on Saturday, May 23, on a private island in the Bahamas. The timing was described as surprising because his prior engagement lasted four years, while this relationship appeared shorter, with the engagement lasting less than six months. Tabloid claims that the wedding was “on hold” due to the Iran war were presented as nonsensical. The most notable detail was who did not attend, including President Trump, who said he would try to make it but cited poor timing and ultimately skipped the wedding. The couple applied for a marriage license on May 14, showing signatures from both and indicating marriage at Bettina’s twin sister’s home in West Palm Beach, Florida, officiated by Bettina’s brother-in-law, Bradley McPherson. A Palm Beach source said the couple wanted to marry before events for the nation’s 250th anniversary and before disruptive summer and fall storms, choosing the Bahamas because they both loved it.
"The most notable thing about Don Jr.'s second wedding is who wasn't there. When asked about his eldest son's wedding last week, President Trump said he was "going to try and make it," but "this is not good timing for me." The president ultimately did not attend, and he wasn't the only Trump to skip Don Jr.'s big day."
"The document, which they applied for on May 14, bears Don J. and Bettina's signatures and indicates that the couple was married at Bettina's twin sister Kristina Anderson McPherson's home in West Palm Beach, Fla. Bettina's brother-in-law, real estate attorney Bradley McPherson, officiated the wedding, the license shows."
"According to a Palm Beach source, the pair wanted to tie the knot before events for the nation's 250th anniversary pick up, and before the disruptive summer and fall storms in South Florida and the Caribbean begin. "July 4 belongs to America, and early fall is not a good time to plan a wedding in South Florida or on the islands due to questionable bad weather, so they decided to do it now in a place they both love," the source said."
