Bride’s White House dream gives way to intimate Bahamas island nuptials

Bettina Anderson and Donald Trump Jr. celebrated their marriage on a private Bahamas island after Anderson had hoped for a White House wedding, which sources say the Trump camp deemed inappropriate amid tensions with Iran; the couple had a small island ceremony with fewer than 50 guests, and their Florida marriage was legally registered earlier in the week, with a possible White House celebration to come.

Bettina Anderson trades White House dream for private Bahamas island wedding with Trump Jr.

Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson and Donald Trump Jr. will celebrate their marriage on a private Bahamas island today after initially aiming for a White House ceremony; sources say the plan shifted because the Trump camp viewed a White House wedding as inappropriate amid the US-Israel war with Iran. The couple have already tied the knot legally, with a small guest list of fewer than 50 people and heightened security; a possible White House celebration later this year was mentioned, but President Trump is not attending.

Trump weighs Bahamas wedding attendance as Iran crisis looms

President Donald Trump said he would try to attend Donald Trump Jr.’s Bahamas wedding over Memorial Day, but timing is “not good” due to his Iran-related duties and other obligations. He has still been active at events like a UFC show and a PGA tournament and continues to play golf. Don Jr. is engaged to Bettina Anderson after a prior engagement to Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is now the U.S. ambassador to Greece; Ivanka Trump’s Bedminster wedding in 2009 is cited as a past landmark. Trump notes the political risk of attending or not attending and quips about “fake news” regardless of the choice, amid polls showing low approval ratings.

President Donald Trump is not expected to attend, though he indicated he’d try; his presence remains uncertain. Siblings are expected to attend. This will be Jr.’s second marriage, following his 2018 divorce from Vanessa Trump, who recently revealed a breast cancer diagnosis.

Atlantic Water Landing Saves 10 Passengers as Bahamian Pilot Guides Plane to Safety

A Bahamian pilot, Ian Nixon, lost both engines and all radios on a Beechcraft King Air 300 while en route from Marsh Harbour to Freeport, then crash-landed about 50 nautical miles off Florida. He and the 10 passengers floated on a life raft until a U.S. Air Force 920th Rescue Wing aircraft spotted them and rescued all 11 to Florida hospitals; three sustained minor injuries. The Bahamian AAIA said the incident happened outside territorial waters and will not lead its investigation; the official probe will be handled by the appropriate authorities.
