Trump’s former lawyer marries Turkish businessman in lavish ceremony

Alina Hamba, former lawyer to Donald Trump and former acting attorney for New Jersey, has married Turhan Mildon, the Turkish businessman who heads Miller Holding, a company active in energy, construction and mining.

The wedding was held at the Waldorf Astoria, the well-known Manhattan hotel. The ceremony took place in a ballroom on the fourth floor, decorated with cherry blossoms and hundreds of red roses, the New York Post reported.

According to a prominent event planner, expenses for the venue, music and decorations alone may have exceeded $1 million. That sum does not include the guests’ rooms or other hotel facilities.

The couple organized the ceremony within just three months, with the support of two prominent wedding planners from Palm Beach. Initially, Hamba and Mildon intended to hold the wedding at the historic Plaza hotel, but they were unable to find an available date.

Among those attending were officials from the Trump administration and prominent figures in Washington politics. The guest list included Margot Martin, a special assistant and communications adviser to the U.S. president, FBI Director Cass Patel and U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanch.

The lavish event also welcomed boxing legend Mike Tyson. Donald Trump did not attend the reception because he was in Knoxville, Tennessee, watching a college football game.

The relationship between 42-year-old Hamba and 29-year-old Mildon became public in April. They appeared together at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and were later photographed at a private event at a club in Washington during the Fourth of July celebrations.
