“Bettina and Don Jr. got married on a glorious day in a place where they often visit,” a source told People magazine.
The couple reportedly considered holding the wedding at the White House, but ultimately opted for a more low-key celebration amid ongoing tensions due to the war in Iran.
A larger celebration with extended family and friends is expected later this year, with the White House still a possible venue, according to reports.
President Donald Trump said Friday that he would not attend the ceremony, citing official responsibilities in Washington.

“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 president wrote on Truth Social.
