It was a quick but beautiful and perfect wedding, according to Simon Cowell, who also attended the wedding.

Melania Trump and Donald Trump’s Wedding
Melania wore a stunning Christian Dior gown with a 13-foot train which cost $200,000. In fact, she also graced the cover of Vogue magazine wearing “the dress of the year”. Her beautiful wedding ring was from Graff Jewelers, costing $75,000! At the time, Donald was 58 years old and completely confident in his third union. Melania also, when asked in an interview with Larry King on Larry King Live show, said that after being together for five years, she was confident.
After the couple got married, they planned on having children. In an episode of Larry King Live, he said that he is not going to be doing the diapers; Melania would be an excellent mother. Eventually, they welcomed their only child, Barron Trump, in 2006. After the birth of their child, Donald changed his mind about the fatherly duties as he told “People” that he loves to feed the baby, not because he has to but because he just loves it.
The couple raised their child in their lavish penthouse of Trump Tower in New York City. They made sure that Barron was protected from the media’s scrutiny. Once Donald was sworn into office, Barron had a motorcade accompany him to school in Manhattan. Melania stayed in New York for six months to help Barron complete his school year. After that, they moved to the White House over the summer.
Donald was married twice before Melania. His first wife was Ivana Trump, who he was married to from 1977 to 1992. He shares three children with Ivana, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump. The children enjoy a lavish lifestyle, and they all work for their father.
