DONALD Trump’s White House press secretary has shared a rare look at her marriage to husband Nicholas Riccio with wedding pictures.
27-year-old Karoline Leavitt recently shared some personal photos on social media, giving her followers a glimpse into her wedding festivities, which took place two months after she got married to Riccio. Surrounded by her husband, friends, and family, the photos capture some intimate moments from the celebration.
Leavitt and Riccio, 60, had an extravagant ceremony on January 4, 2025, after they were engaged in December 2023.
The press secretary has referred to Riccio as her husband multiple times after she gave birth to the couple’s first son, Niko, in July 2024.
Interestingly, it appears that the couple held their official wedding reception just a few weeks before the presidential inauguration on January 20, 2025. New pictures shared by Leavitt on Instagram provide a peek into this special event.
“Finally found some time to post a few of my favorite pictures from one of my favorite days!” Leavitt captioned the post.
In a series of eight images, Leavitt can be seen wearing a white gown at the Wentworth By The Sea Country Club, a picturesque venue located in New Castle, New Hampshire. This coastal setting is close to where the couple resides with their son, adding a personal touch to the celebration.
Leavitt wore a long-sleeved, sequined white gown and had her hair in an updo.
She carried a bouquet of white roses in pictures of her grinning alongside her real estate tycoon husband.
The pictures also showed Riccio kissing Leavitt on the cheek over a plate of chocolate cake, seemingly after the newlyweds shared the tradition of cutting the cake together.
The wedding appeared to be a black-tie occasion, as Leavitt shared pictures of her wedding guests in formal attire.
Leavitt posed with her group of girlfriends, all wearing black gowns, in front of a stone fireplace at the country club.
The final picture in the carousel showed the happy couple with drinks in hand in front of their venue’s bar.
The couple had two signature cocktails available at their wedding: an espresso martini and a cucumber spritz.
Attendees found their way to their tables based on table assignments for guests in gold frames.
According to pictures of the framed table assignments, it appears no members of the Trump family were in attendance at the wedding.
Their tables were decorated with white flowers and candles while guests enjoyed a dinner consisting of multiple courses.
After a toast led by Leavitt’s dad, Robert, and a prayer led by Riccio’s sister, Susan, wedding guests enjoyed a spinach salad and an entree of filet mignon and lobster.
Leavitt’s colleagues, along with fans, shared their excitement for the bride in the comments of her Instagram post.
“So stunning,” Kieghan Nangle, Leavitt’s executive assistant, wrote under the post.
“Oh, you look so beautiful.I love your dress.. Handsome hubby too!” another commented.
Her friend wrote, “Love you! the prettiest bride. And the most fun night.”
