Donald — who walked Tiffany down the aisle — also gave a speech to the happy couple, saying to Boulos, “Michael you better take care of her. No doubt, you are a special person and you are way beyond your years. I have seen him dealing with very big people. . . You are just two spectacular people and this was a beautiful day.”

Donald also brought up the weather, which was forecasted to be rainy due to Hurricane Nicole. Sources had previously told that Tiffany was “flipping out,” over predictions it could hit Palm Beach, which had forced the club to evacuate earlier in the week and closed airports in the area.

“They were worried about rain,” the “Celebrity Apprentice” alum said during his toast. “They said, ‘Sir, we are going to build a big tent over the pool.’ I don’t want a tent because if you build a tent two things: Number one, it costs a lot of money. Who wants to spend the money? And two, it’s just not the same. And I said, ‘Let’s take our chances, right Tiff?’”

He added of the good weather, “I think it’s emblematic for you and your life and we are very proud of both of you. Have a great life together.”

However, the hurricane wasn’t the only thing that passed prior to the nuptials. Sources previously told us that Donald was in “a bad mood” following the midterm results, and that friends were wondering “how gregarious he’ll be at Tiffany’s wedding.”

But “Trump was in a great mood,” said a source.

Tiffany’s mom, Marla Maples, also gave a speech to the happy couple, at one point thanking her ex-husband, whom she was married to from 1993 to 1999.

“I just want to thank your wonderful father, Donald, and the beautiful Melania [Trump] and all the family for holding so close to Tiffany throughout the years,” she said. “It’s been a bit of a ride for everyone, but the warmth you all share together is what holds this family together. If we all stay strong together, we’re going to help hold the world together.

“Let’s hold this love together, let’s hold our hearts together, and let’s just step out in the world and know we can change the world one day at a time with just our love. We can do it,” she continued, adding, “Donald, you may have to do a little more.”
