Donald Trump has an exciting January to look forward to.
Not only will he be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States after defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election – but it's also his 20th wedding anniversary.
In honor of the milestone occasion, take a look back at Donald and Melania's extravagant wedding, which reportedly cost a whopping $2.5 million – $100,000 of which was spent on the bride's custom dress.

The church originated in 1889 with its current structure dating back to 1925 and can hold over 700 people.
Speaking about her wedding day to Larry King shortly after the nuptials, Melania described it as "fantastic," adding: "We had a great time."
Donald and Melania aren't the only famous faces to tie the knot at Bethesda-By-the-Sea. NBA legend Michael Jordan and his wife, Cuban model Yvette Prito, also exchanged vows at the venue in 2013.

The ballroom, which cost $35 million and was built in a Versailles-inspired Louis XIV style, was filled with 10,000 flowers and included long tables decorated in cream and gold accents with matching tableware and crockery.
Guests were serenaded by the Michael Rose Orchestra, dined on caviar and tenderloin, and sipped Cristal before taking home miniature versions of the extravagant chocolate wedding cake, which cost a reported $50,000.

It was made of duchesse satin and featured a figure-hugging silhouette, a 90-meter voluminous skirt, and embroidered with 1500 diamonds and pearls.

"Why are we going to leave our gorgeous, beautiful house, called Mar-a-Lago, and venture out to some tropical island where things aren't clean or whatever?" Donald said at the time.
