A MAGA Wedding Extravaganza: Scavino and Erin Elmore Tie the Knot
Mar-a-Lago, FL – A gathering of prominent figures from the world of politics and business descended upon Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate on Sunday to celebrate the marriage of Dan Scavino, Deputy Chief of Staff to the President, and Erin Elmore, Art Director at the US Embassy. The event drew a high-profile guest list, including former President Donald Trump himself, tech mogul Elon Musk, and several key members of the political landscape.
Star-Studded Guest List
President Trump, visibly pleased, remarked to reporters, “That’s a big day! Very loyal, very fantastic people.” The wedding followed closely on the heels of another celebration at a Trump property, the marriage of podcast host Alex Bruesewitz to former Miss Nevada USA Carolina Urrea at Trump National Doral Miami on Saturday.
Beyond Trump and Musk, the guest list included Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Fox News host Sean Hannity, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. The Trump family was well-represented, with Donald Trump Jr. and his fiancée Bettina Anderson, Donald’s ex-wife Vanessa, daughter Kai, Eric Trump’s wife Lara, and daughter Tiffany Boulos all in attendance.
Dan Scavino’s Rise and the Wedding Plans
Dan Scavino, 50, has been a steadfast ally of Trump since the beginning of his political career. He played a pivotal role in shaping Trump’s impactful social media strategy and currently leads the White House Presidential Personnel Office, overseeing a vast network of 4,000 political appointments, including 1,600 requiring Senate confirmation.
While Trump couldn’t attend Bruesewitz’s wedding, he sent a congratulatory video message, stating, “From everything I hear Alex, you got very, very lucky.” Scavino proposed to Erin Elmore on September 25th, outside the Oval Office, sharing the joyous news on social media.
Timing and Background
The decision to hold the wedding now, Scavino explained in an interview on “The Katie Miller Podcast,” was driven by the anticipated busy schedule as Trump prepares to return to the campaign trail to support Republican candidates. He jokingly asked, “What are we gonna do – get married in October?”
Initially intended as a surprise, details of the wedding were inadvertently revealed by Scavino himself during a podcast appearance, as first reported by The Washington Post. “I wasn’t supposed to say this,” Scavino quipped, “But I’m an honest guy.”
From Caddie to Key Advisor
Scavino’s journey with Trump began in the 1990s, starting as a bag room assistant and caddie at Briar Hall Country Club. He steadily rose through the ranks within Trump’s organization. Last October, Trump appointed him to replace Sergio Gor as head of the White House Presidential Personnel Office. Gor’s departure followed reported clashes with administration officials and friction with Senate staff. Trump subsequently appointed Gor as the ambassador to India.
This wedding represents not only a personal milestone for Scavino and Elmore but also a celebration of loyalty and enduring relationships within the influential circles of American politics.
