The bride-to-be often tackles the majority of her big day’s planning. Still, the groom usually has some input. Not Jared Kushner, though. He left the whole kit and kaboodle to Ivanka Trump. “He put so much time and effort into designing the most perfect ring for me! I think he is now enjoying taking a backseat as I handle the rest,” she told Brides.
Left to her own devices, Ivanka made sure the wedding was a high-society spectacular. Manhattan’s elite was among the 500 guests, including Anna Wintour, Rudy Giuliani, Barbara Walters, and Regis Philbin. Donald Trump’s daughter, always a daddy’s girl at heart, also ensured the family’s business empire was front and center. A flier offering a free round at Trump Organization’s golf clubs was reportedly included inside wedding invitations. It’s unknown if the wedding venue was included in the offer, the happy couple tied the knot, or rather, signed the Ketubah, at Trump National Golf Club, Bedminster, New Jersey. Mazel Tov!
The newlyweds’ differences were glaringly apparent during their fathers’ speeches, with a guest telling Vicky Ward, author of “Kushner Inc: Greed. Ambition. Corruption,” that they couldn’t have been more opposite. “Ivanka’s great, and Jared’s great, and they’re great together, so let me give a toast,” Donald said. “I’m like, is that all you’ve got?” the guest recalled remarking. In contrast, Charles Kushner’s speech was described as “memorably, startlingly emotional.”
