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.
