Fact check: What church was donald trump married?

1. Summary of the results

Donald Trump's third and current marriage to Melania Knauss took place at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida on January 22, 2005 ^[1]. The ceremony was followed by a reception at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club ^[1].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question fails to acknowledge that Trump has been married three times, with each wedding taking place at different churches:

• First marriage to Ivana Zelnickova ^[2] - Marble Collegiate Church, officiated by Norman Vincent Peale ^[3]
• Second marriage to Marla Maples ^[4] - Also at Marble Collegiate Church, officiated by Arthur Caliandro ^[3]
• Third marriage to Melania Knauss ^[5] - Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea ^[3]

Additional context about the third marriage includes:

• Trump and Melania met at a New York Fashion Week party in 1998 ^[6]
• The proposal occurred at the 2004 Met Gala ^[6]
• The wedding was attended by numerous high-profile guests, including the Clintons, P. Diddy, Barbara Walters, Rudy Giuliani, and Anna Wintour ^[7]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The question's singular form ("what church") could be misleading as it suggests Trump was only married once. This oversimplification omits significant parts of Trump's marital history, particularly his consistent choice of Marble Collegiate Church for his first two marriages ^[3]. The presence of both Democratic and Republican figures at his third wedding (such as the Clintons and Giuliani) ^[7] demonstrates how Trump's social circles transcended political boundaries before his entry into politics.
