President Donald Trump is returning from Davos to celebrate anniversary with Melania

president Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will celebrate their 21st wedding anniversary on January 22, 2025.

The president returns to Washington, D.C., tonight from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and aims to have an anniversary dinner with the First Lady, a White House source familiar with the matter told Fox News.

The couple’s wedding, attended by 350 guests, at the Episcopal Church at Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida, was followed by a reception at Mar-a-Lago.

The First Lady at the time wore a $100,000 Christian Dior wedding dress.

It consisted of a 13-foot train and a 16-foot-long veil covered in beads, which was said to have taken more than 500 hours of hand stitching to make, according to published accounts of the event in The Palm Beach Post and The Palm Beach Daily News at the time.

“Although my wedding was grand on a grand scale, what I felt in my heart is what every other bride feels on her special day,” the first lady wrote in her recent best-selling memoir, “Melania,” about her wedding day. “The pressure to ensure everything ran smoothly was certainly real, but in the end, my primary focus was celebrating Donald and my love and commitment, surrounded by my loved ones.”

Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Ballroom was reportedly decorated with 10,000 flowers for the occasion, with chefs serving up caviar and crystal champagne.

In a January 2005 account, the Palm Beach Daily News said the dinner included “beggar’s bags filled with caviar, fried tenderloins, miniature wedding cakes and the finest crystal poured into one of those magic goblets that are never empty.”
