Donald Trump Jr., 48, and Bettina Anderson, 39, legally married Thursday in West Palm Beach, Florida, ahead of a weekend celebration reportedly planned in the Bahamas.
President Donald Trump said he would stay in Washington because of the conflict with Iran and other government matters, calling it an "important period of time" for him to remain at the White House.
Trump had signaled the conflict a day earlier, telling reporters he would "try" to attend but that the timing was bad because of "Iran and other things."
The marriage is Trump Jr.'s second; he was previously married to Vanessa Trump, with whom he has five children, and had later been engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle.
