President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary on Wednesday.
The first couple celebrated their “Chinese” wedding anniversary, as they say, by settling into the White House for the second time and Trump shared a vintage photo of the couple on their wedding day on his X account.
“Happy 20th anniversary to Melania!” he wrote.
Their wedding, the president's third, took place on January 22, 2005 and took place at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea with a reception at Mar-a-Lago.
The guest list notably included one of Trump's biggest political rivals: Hillary Clinton, who attended with her husband, President Bill Clinton.
On Monday, Trump praised Bill Clinton's political sense when asked which living former president he would seek advice from.
The Democratic ex-president had warned wife Hillary, a former first lady, senator and secretary of state, that she looked weak in “blue wall” states including Michigan and Wisconsin in her 2016 contest against Trump, which he won.
Another top political guest was Republican former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who became Trump's election lawyer during the 2020 race.

Judge Jeanine Pirro, a Fox News personality and political ally of Trump, was at the wedding 20 years ago.
She also attended the inauguration festivities this weekend – including dancing on stage during a live performance by Village People at Turning Point USA's pre-inauguration gala.
The late Barbara Walters attended Trump's wedding, as did disgraced host Matt Lauer, who faced a sex scandal in 2017 that forced him off 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, and Star Jones.
From the music world, the late Tony Bennett was present, as was Billy Joel, with his then wife Katie Lee.
Rap mogul Russell Simmons attended with his wife Kimora Lee Simmons.

Other guests, according to the Palm Beach Post, included Mohamed Al-Fayed, the father of Princess Diana's friend Dodi Fayed, Gayle King of CBS Mornings, Mort Zuckerman, owner of US News & World Report, Deborah Norville of Inside Edition, magazine editor Tina Brown and America's Got Talent host Simon Cowell.
Boxing promoter Don King was present.
He remains a friend of the president and attended Trump's New Year's Eve party at Mar-a-Lago this year.
Apprentice maker Mark Burnett was also a guest.
The Trumps' 2005 wedding came a year after the now-President Apprentice rose to prominence, elevating Trump from a well-known real estate developer to an entertainer as well.
Trump maintained many friends in the media during The Apprentice years, but that kinship eroded as he got closer to the political world.
He was an outspoken critic of Democratic President Barack Obama and promoted the so-called “birther” theory, which questioned Obama's legitimacy as a U.S. citizen.
Trump began appearing at CPACs – the annual Conservative Political Action Conference – and officially entered politics in June 2015.
During his first term, he was largely shunned by Hollywood and prominent members of the media, with the exception of Fox News and a handful of well-known conservative celebrities.
