In 2008, Michael, 50, first met Prieto, 35, in a nightclub, after the beauty caught his eye on the dance floor. They boogied together that night and the rest was history!

The Bride wore a gorgeous cathedral train classic, made of French silk voile, handmade with Swarovski crystals, by J'Aton.

"Her style is feminine classic, with a twist of Palm beach flare," an insider said.

Prieto, chose her bridesmaids to wear lilac colored dresses, and the reception was filled with crystal chandeliers, warm candles, white roses, peonies, and decadent shades of purple.

Rumored to cost in the millions for the event, the couple spared no expense in celebrating their nuptials in style, as the groom arrived in a $500,000 White Rolls Royce.

"Yvette Prieto's Engagement Ring and Wedding band are a force to be reckoned with as I am estimated her rock to be at least 10 carats! Many celebrities are pairing their bling with simple bands, like the one Jordan gave her in a thin double shank diamond wedding band for added extra style. Many of today's fashionable diamond buyers are donning for large special shapes in Emerald or Cushion Cuts for added elegance!"

  1. It looked to be a big, yet nice, wedding. A little to big for my taste, but still nice.
    Despite rumors of it being in the 10s of millions, a more resourceful report said it was closer to 5.
    He (Jordan) has more money sense than too overspend like that. He's owned business for so long, doesn't sound like his move.
    Nice feature on it ... that tent is as big as his house, haha!
