Donald Trump Jr. and Bettina Anderson’s destination wedding ceremony went off without a hitch over Memorial Day weekend, if Instagram is any indication.
The couple legally married in Florida on Thursday, May 21 before a planned celebration – reportedly in the Bahamas – during the long weekend.
While the newlyweds haven’t confirmed the destination ceremony, several members of the Trump family were seemingly in attendance, according to snaps shared on social media.
Notably, Trump Jr.’s father President Donald Trump opted to skip the nuptials, citing “circumstances pertaining to Government” in a post on Truth Social.
Trump Jr., 48, and Anderson, 39, announced their engagement in December 2025 after about a year of dating.
The marriage marks Trump Jr.’s second; he and his first wife, Vanessa Trump, divorced in 2018 and share five children, including Kai Trump.
Bettina Anderson shares ‘Mrs. Trump’ flick on Instagram
While Anderson has yet to share photos from the wedding – either the legal ceremony in Florida or the tropical celebration – she did share a glimpse of her first weekend as a newlywed on Instagram.
In a May 25 Instagram story, the socialite posted a picture showing a piece of white fabric embroidered with her new name: Mrs. Trump.
She also shared an image of a napkin printed with a quote from “Sense and Sensibility” by Jane Austen: “My heart is and always will be yours.” Anderson also tagged her new husband, who reposted it to his own account.
Anderson’s new sister-in-law, Ivanka Trump, also shared a picture of a matching napkin with a different quote on her own account. It featured words from “Les Misérables” by Victor Hugo: “To love or have loved, that is enough. Ask nothing further. There is no other pearl to be found in the dark folds of life.”
Ivanka, Tiffany and Lara Trump share vacation pictures
Trump Jr.’s sisters Ivanka and Tiffany Trump, as well as sister-in-law Lara Trump, all posed together in photos shared on each of their Instagram accounts.
Lara Trump posted a carousel of images that included beachside selfies with her sisters-in-law and pictures with husband Eric Trump. One selfie with Lara, Ivanka and Tiffany also included Trump Jr.’s daughter Kai Trump.
In one photo, Lara and Eric Trump stand posing in the sand with chairs, tables and decorations visible in the background. Lara Trump wears a long coral-colored sundress while Eric is seen in a long-sleeved button-up shirt, white jeans and white sneakers. The couple also held sparklers in another selfie.
On Eric Trump’s own Instagram story, he simply shared a mid-flight photo of teal-colored waters and an island from above.
Tiffany Trump shared the selfies of her, Lara, Ivanka and Kai on her own Instagram story. She also posted a clip of herself standing along the shore in a short sundress.
Ivanka Trump, Kai Trump paddleboard together
Ivanka Trump posted a slew of photos from the weekend, including photos with husband Jared Kushner as well as several solo shots on her Instagram story.
She also shared pictures with niece Kai Trump, Trump Jr.’s eldest child. In one, Ivanka and Kai Trump were seen paddleboarding together in the ocean.
“The best paddle board partner,” Ivanka Trump wrote on the photo, which Kai Trump reposted on her own account.
