Ivanka Trump Has Lavish Wedding
Ivanka Trump walked down the aisle this weekend, and though this may come as a terrible shock,
PEOPLE reports that
Donald Trump's eldest daughter celebrated her nuptials with a lavish reception. Trump, 27, wore a Vera Wang gown when she wed publisher Jared Kushner in a ceremony at the Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey on Sunday.
"She looks amazing," a rep told PEOPLE.
Regis Philbin was among the 500-plus guests at the reception planned by celebrity event designer Preston Bailey. The 'Live With Regis and Kelly' star was called upon to sing for the wedding couple.
The bride planned to spend her big day "dancing like a maniac with all of my friends," according to a recent post to
her Twitter account. Her last update came the morning of her wedding as Trump relaxed before the ceremony:
"Just finished a gorgeous hike. The leaves are spectacular and the sun is shining. Everything is simply perfect! I'm getting married today!"
Kushner asked the entrepreneur for her hand in marriage in July. Trump announced the engagement to the world online, tweeting, "I got engaged last night...truly the happiest day of my life!!!"
"I only had a 3 month engagement so it was all done pretty quickly," the newlywed told
Us magazine before the ceremony. "To all those women planning a wedding, just be organized and decisive. It also helps if you have a wedding planner helping you out!"
The couple have been dating since 2007. They briefly split, but reconciled in July 2008. Trump even converted to Judaism for her then-boyfriend.
Trump is a co-host of 'Celebrity Apprentice,' a vice president at her father's real estate company, and has a jewelry company. The 28-year-old Kushner is publisher of The New York Observer and an executive at the Kushner Companies, which owns and manages commercial real estate and apartments.

I've only seen Ivanka on Celebrity Apprentice. She is a beautiful and smart girl. I'm sure it is difficult to be in the spotlight and have limited privacy. So, I hope they have a happy and successful marriage. Best wishes to them both!

It is disgusting that she had to convert her religion for this guy.

She didn't have to...she chose to...guess you have never been in love.
I did not know she "had" to do anything to marry the man she clearly loves. She is an adult, after all.
Your stupid post has anti-Semite written all over it. Loser.
Moron: NOBODY twists this woman's arm, or tells her what to do. She is as smart and independent-minded as she is beautiful. She converted because she loves him, probably had explored the religion over the years, and felt it would be better for the sake of the children to be brought up with one religion.
You would have thought it would be the other way around, him converting to her religion. Where was her dad when she made that dumb decision?
Is he Jew?
I converted to Catholic when I married my husband 49 years ago. Prove's she really loves the guy and will do anything for him. God Bless them both.
It’s not disguising she obviously wanted to do it. No one forced her under a gun. Just so you know it is very difficult and time consuming to become Jewish and one must really want deep down in their heart to do it, because in essence it’s too much trouble to convert to Judaism if you’re heart is not in it. A religion is a personal choice, and no one has the right to judge what one does when it concerns their religion
What does it matter--in the end we all believe in God and are all going to the same destination. The path may be different but the destination is the same. Be happy they have God in thier lives. She will never truely not believe that Jesus is the son of God. Disciple or son, we all believe Jesus existed--isn't that enough!
Now really. How petty of you to even metion that. Do you think that this girl makes any life changing decision like changing her religion because someone "makes" her? I don't think so. You know religion doesn't mean the same thing to all people. Some people genuinely feel compelled to be good people, concerned citizens, both morally and ethically bound to decent principles. It's a spiritual thing to them. So call it what you want. I'm sure she didn't do it because she was forced to. If she converted to your religion would you have made this comment? I don't think so.
I kind of agree with you. When love is supposedly more important than how you worship then there's a foundational problem from the start.
Christanity is a sub religion of Judasim. Old Book, New Book, Same Book just rewritten. Jesus was Jewish.
I am not Jewish but it is not wrong for her to convert.
Why would you think that it is wrong?
Religious conversion for a spouse is based on your dominant belief system. Ivanka is more spiritual than categorized like a devout catholic or whatever you may think she was giving up. She realized that religion was more important to him, and chose to convert for the children (note: Although Judaism is more relaxed these days about the rules, there is still the mother's religion taken with the orthodox as being the true religion of the child) I'm sure she was more into this relationship about love and compromise and not about giving up one faith for the other. Either way, I'm glad someone gets to bang her... ;)
