Newlyweds Michael Jordan and Yvette Prieto took their first spin around the dance floor as married couple at the Bear's Club in Jupiter, Florida Saturday.
The Charlotte Bobcats owner exchanged vows with the 35-year-old former model in Palm Beach, Florida, Jordan's manager Estee Portnoy said Sunday.
Always and forever: Newlyweds Michael Jordan and
Yvette Prieto took their first spin around the dance floor as married
couple at the Bear's Club in Jupiter, Florida Saturday
Star-studded: Former teammate Scottie Pippen, left, and guest leave after the ceremony
Getaway: A sharply dressed Michael Jordan was
spotted making a swift exit from his high-security Florida wedding
shortly after the ceremony
Tall usher: Patrick Ewing, the 7-foot former
all-star acted as usher outside the doors of the Bethesda-By-The-Sea
Church in Palm Beach
Diversion: Jordan sneaked away from his wedding
in a white Rolls Royce after sending a look-alike to distract the
throngs of onlookers in a black Mercedes SUV
The ceremony was followed by a reception at the luxurious private golf club designed by Jack Nicklaus. Jordan, 50, owns a home near the course.
There were fireworks at night as part of the celebration.
They did! Michael Jordan is married Yvette Prieto (seen here together in 2011) in Palm Beach, Florida on Saturday
Fully loaded: Jordan's wedding tent comes with a full array of options including a band stage, massive ballroom and dining room
Options: The wedding reception venue is 40,000 square feet, smaller than Jordan's mansion, which measures 35,000 square feet
Unlike the newly-weds, who sneaked away, regular guests had to file out the doors of the church as they left the ceremony
Security guards with white umbrellas concealed
the lucky couple as they left the church - preventing fans and the press
of seeing them
The umbrellas provided a diversion for the
couple, while fans focused on a Jordan look-alike who waved from the
back of a black Mercedes SUV
The six-time NBA champion and Prieto met five years ago and were engaged last December.
Prieto wore a French silk voile corseted sheer sheath gown by J'Aton Couture, in an ecru palette with accents of flesh tones, with handmade silk lace created especially for her, and enhanced with Swarovski crystals.
Getting ready for the big day: Dolores Jordan

church where her son will get married for the second time on Saturday
Lucky guests: One insider projected that, given
the size of the tent at the former basketball star's house, they could
host up to 2,000 guests
Dressed up: Wedding guests in matching dresses,
accompanied by dark-suited dates, filed into the church for the
exclusive ceremony
The couple and their guests were entertained by DJ MC Lyte, singers K'Jon, Robin Thicke and Grammy-Award winner Usher and The Source, an 18-piece band.
Everyone enjoyed an all-white, seven-layer white rum wedding cake that was covered in white fondant and sugar crystals, and adorned with crystal brooches and the couples' monogram on the top layer.
Guests sat at tables that were a continuous candle-lit landscape with a myriad of crystal candelabras and mercury glass vessels, each filled with one variety of white flower, including roses, peonies and tulips, and one accent of purple.
Stunning: Larsa Pippen, mother of four and wife
of Scottie Pippen, nearly stole the show from the bride as she walked
into the church for the wedding ceremony

Sharply dressed guests left the ceremony and
made their way to the reception, which was housed in the world's largest
party tent - bigger than Jordan's own house
Vows: Michael Jordan and Yvette Prieto's will say 'I Do' at the Bethesda-By-The-Sea Church, Palm Beach in Florida
I do: Jordan's beautiful bride, 35-year-old
Yvette Prieto, will walk down the aisle at the Bethesda-By-The-Sea
Church on late Saturday
