Earlier this week, just days after taking back the White House and working through the night to fulfill a long list of promises to his supporters, President Donald Trump wished his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, a happy 20th anniversary.
As many would understandably have thought 20 years ago, Donald and Melania's marriage could have flamed out just as quickly as any Hollywood marriage, but it didn't.
According to the Daily Mail, in the wake of his 20th wedding anniversary, several "wild" photos emerged from their $2.5 million wedding that the outlet said had a "very surprising guest list."
The two were married on January 22, 2005, at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea. Of course, the reception was held at Mar-a-Lago.
Aside from the imagery, the guest list for Donald Trump's wedding to Melania, his third at the time, included guests like former President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton.
Former Trump lawyer and New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was also one of the guests at their wedding.
Fox News star "Judge" Jeanine Pirro was a guest at the wedding, too. Pirro, a strong Trump ally, attended his inauguration festivities, "including dancing onstage to a live Village People performance at Turning Point USA's pre-inauguration gala."

The Daily Mail noted:
The late Barbara Walters attended Trump's wedding, as did disgraced anchor Matt Lauer, who suffered a 2017 sex scandal, removing him from the air.
Other media stars in attendance included Katie Couric, Chris Matthews, Kelly Ripa, with husband, actor and co-anchor Mark Consuelos, Kathie Lee Gifford, with her late husband Frank, as well as Star Jones.
Several top music stars and producers were also present at the wedding, including Billy Joel and the late Tony Bennet.
Users across social media joined the president in wishing his wife a happy anniversary.
"This is the definition of a good, wholesome, Christian family," one X user wrote.
Another X user wrote, "Beautiful couple may God bless you both with lots of love, strength and good health."
"This is beautiful. The love here is genuine. Best President and First Lady ever. Happy anniversary! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, good health, and blessings," another user wrote.
