Donald and Melania Trump’s Marriage in Photos

The auspicious beginnings of the First Couple: At a Times Square night club in 1998, Donald Trump asked for model Melania Knauss’s phone number while his date was in the bathroom. (She declined and took his numbers instead.) They married in 2005 at a lavish Palm Beach wedding and have one son together, Barron, born in 2006.
