SLAM DUNK! MICHAEL JORDAN MARRIES IN FRONT OF 2000 GUEST

And we were not one of them, but once again this is an awesome victory for Gold-diggers to see one of your own hit the lottery.  We salute you Mrs. Jordan.  Talk about a slam dunk!  She doesn't ever have to stand in line for a pair of new MJ's that's why she is the luckiest woman in the world.

After five years of dating, former NBA star Michael Jordan, 50, and his model-fiancée, Yvette Prieto, 35, made it official with a wedding in Palm Beach, Fla., on Saturday. 

About 500 people arriving by tour buses piled into an Episcopal church called Bethesda-by-the Sea, where Donald Trump was married to Melania in 2005. 

Jordan invited another 1,500 to join them for the reception at the Bears Club, a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course community in Jupiter, Fla., where Jordan recently built a 38,000-square-foot home. 

Home sweet home: Jordan's sprawling home is only 35,000-square-feet, which was deemed not enough space to give his 2,000 wedding guests enough room to roam around. 

"They've been planning for months and months," says a source of the nuptials. "He wanted to give Yvette everything she's ever wanted."

Jordan, now the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, proposed over the Christmas holidays in 2011. They applied for their wedding license in March at the Palm Beach County courthouse. 

On Friday afternoon, they were spotted attending their rehearsal at the church. 

Prieto, 35, met Jordan at a Miami nightclub in 2008. 

This is the second marriage for the Chicago Bulls legend. He and his first wife Juanita Vanoy divorced in 2006 after 17 years of marriage, and the couple have three grown children together. 

Options: The wedding reception venue is 40,000 sq ft, smaller than Jordan's 35,000 sq ft mansion

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.
