Tiffany Trump and her longtime boyfriend Michael Boulos are soon to be newlyweds.

The couple, who met at Lindsay Lohan's Mykonos beach club in Greece in 2018, are getting married at Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida on Saturday. Tiffany is the fourth child of the former US president, whom he shares with ex-wife Marla Maples. Maples and Trump, 76, were involved in planning the wedding, according to Page Six. 

Boulos, a businessman who grew up in Lagos, Nigeria, and Tiffany got engaged in January 2021, the day before Donald left office. 

Wedding festivities began last weekend with Tiffany's bridal shower

On Sunday, Tiffany's half-sister Ivanka, 41, shared a behind-the-scenes photo carousel from the bridal shower on Instagram. Page Six reported that Ivanka threw the event for the bride-to-be. 

The first image showed Ivanka and Lara Lea Trump, who is married to Eric Trump, wearing coordinating blue floral gowns as they stood alongside Tiffany, who was wearing a lacy bridal dress with puffed sleeves.

According to Daily Mail, Lara Lea shared an Instagram story on the day saying that she and Ivanka did not plan on wearing similar gowns.

Kimberly Guilfoyle, the girlfriend of Donald Trump Jr., also shared a series of behind-the-scenes Instagram photographs from the bridal shower, which, according to the location tag, took place in Jupiter, Florida. 

Her post shows that some of the attendees, who included Maples and Melania Trump, wore floral crowns to the bridal shower, which appeared to also have taken place by a lake.

Marla Maples wrote Tiffany letters the day before the wedding

On Friday, Maples, 59, shared a glimpse at how she was preparing for her only child's wedding day. Taking to Instagram, the actor posted a story of her writing letters to Tiffany in a pink notebook. Maples added the song "I Say a Little Prayer," by Dionne Warwick to the post. 

The notebook itself was personalized with the words "Letters to Tiffany" on the front. Maples held it out in front of what appeared to be a bible.

Speaking of Maples, Donald shared a shout-out to his ex-wife on Truth Social, his own social-media app, on Saturday while announcing Tiffany and Boulos' wedding. 

"My wonderful daughter Tiffany will be getting Married today at Mar-a-Lago," he wrote. "She and Michael are a beautiful couple who will be very happy together. A big thank you and congratulations to Tiffany's mother, Marla, on the bringing up of a really great daughter!"
