First Ivanka, now Eric. The MOT-Trump circle has just gained another member.

The Donald’s 30-year-old son married Jewish TV producer Lara Yunaska on Saturday in front of 450 people. The ceremony, held at Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, also featured a “crystal-embellished” chuppah. Because, you know, Trump.

The bride, who reportedly broke both her wrists horseback riding two weeks before the wedding (ouch!), wore Vera Wang.

Ivanka Trump, who married New York Observer publisher Jared Kushner in 2009, posted pictures of the ceremony to Instagram.

Kushner, who officiated the ceremony, reportedly told Yunaska: “You are not just gaining a family you are getting 6 million Twitter followers.”
