Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, in a Wednesday morning speech, said the proposed overhaul would amount to "the biggest tax cut" and the "largest tax reform" in U.S. history_ by [Dave Quinn / People](https://time.com/author/people/) ## Dave Quinn / People Jun 25, 2017 7:13 PM UTC  by [Dave Quinn / People](https://time.com/author/people/) ## Dave Quinn / People Jun 25, 2017 7:13 PM UTC President [Donald Trump](http://people.com/tag/donald-trump) and First Lady [Melania Trump](http://people.com/tag/melania-trump) took some time away from their [White House](http://people.com/tag/white-house) duties to attend the wedding of [Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin](http://people.com/politics/who-is-steven-mnuchin-trump-treasury-secretary/) and Scottish-born actress [Louise Linton](https://www.instagram.com/louiselinton/?hl=en) on Saturday. The newly married couple said their “I dos” in a lavish ceremony in Washington, D.C., partying the night away at a reception packed with family and friends. The wedding took place at the Mellon Auditorium, a historic government-owned public space that is connected to the Environmental Protection Agency’s headquarters and right around the block from the Trump International Hotel. Melania wore a pink silk chiffon dress designed by Gilles Mendel and Manolo Blahnik. [Ivanka Trump](http://people.com/tag/ivanka-trump), [Jared Kushner](http://people.com/tag/jared-kushner) and Vice President [Mike Pence](http://people.com/tag/mike-pence) were also in attendance. Pence also served as the officiant for the ceremony. In addition to the Trumps, Toronto designer Ines Di Santo was also in attendance. She designed Linton’s custom wedding gown — which she paired with some high-priced diamond and pearl jewelry, as she showed off to [_Town & Country_](http://www.townandcountrymag.com/the-scene/weddings/a9933935/louise-linton-wedding-jewelry/) in a feature published Monday. Linton, 36, and Mnuchin, 54, met at a wedding reception in Los Angeles in 2013, _The New York Times_ reported. They were engaged in 2015 — he popped the question with an oval diamond engagement ring reminiscent of one she had admired with him in a jewelry store at Miami’s famous Art Basel festival during the early days of their relationship, she told _Town & Country_. Mnuchin — a former Goldman Sachs executive of 17 years, hedge fund chief executive and Hollywood producer whose credits include _American Sniper_ and _Wonder Woman_ — has been the subject of Democratic ire since his appointment in November, with many pointing to him as the very symbol of the elite “swamp” the president had so often preached about draining from Washington prior to his election. A Trump loyalist who previously served as his campaign finance chairman, Mnuchin has played a key role in developing the president’s tax proposals, and [previously told CNBC](http://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/20/mnuchin-confident-that-massive-tax-reform-will-get-done-this-year.html) that his first priority is getting tax reform passed this year. During his campaign in 2016, Trump railed against his opponents for their ties to Wall Street. He frequently criticized Democratic presidential nominee [Hillary Clinton](http://people.com/tag/hillary-clinton) for accepting money from Goldman Sachs to deliver speeches. On Wednesday, Trump explained why he chose Wall Street billionaires for several of his Cabinet roles [during a campaign-style rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa](http://people.com/politics/trump-doesnt-want-poor-person-in-cabinet-role/). “So somebody said, ‘Why did you appoint a rich person to be in charge of the economy?’ I said, ‘Because that’s the kind of thinking we want … because they’re representing the country,” Trump said. “They don’t want the money. And they had to give up a lot to take these jobs.” “We can’t have the world taking advantage of us anymore,” he continued. “And I love all people, rich or poor, but in those particular positions, I just don’t want a poor person. Does that make sense? If you insist, I’ll do it — but I like it better this way, right?” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4832219/donald-melania-trump-mnuchin-wedding/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4832219/donald-melania-trump-mnuchin-wedding/"},"headline":"President Trump and Melania Trump Attend Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's Lavish Wedding","datePublished":"2017-06-25T19:13:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:05:56.178Z","description":"The President and First Lady took some time away from the White House to attend the wedding of Steven Mnuchin and actress Louise Linton.","url":"https://time.com/4832219/donald-melania-trump-mnuchin-wedding/","keywords":["Weddings","Newsfeed","Donald Trump","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt26fafb978426bd6c/6988d33dfb4eac3fef8929de/steven-mnuchin-2000.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Dave Quinn / People"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt26fafb978426bd6c/6988d33dfb4eac3fef8929de/steven-mnuchin-2000.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"steven-mnuchin-2000","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/weddings/","name":"Weddings"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4832219/donald-melania-trump-mnuchin-wedding/","name":"President Trump and Melania Trump Attend Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's Lavish Wedding"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Trump Administration Proposing 'Biggest Tax Cut' in U.S. History","description":"Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, in a Wednesday morning speech, said the proposed overhaul would amount to \"the biggest tax cut\" and the \"largest tax reform\" in U.S. history","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/G70HpG36/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-04-26T15:19:07.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/G70HpG36.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4832219/donald-melania-trump-mnuchin-wedding/","duration":"PT1M12S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4832219/donald-melania-trump-mnuchin-wedding/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
