NBA legend Michael Jordan married Yvette Prieto in Palm Beach, Fla., on Saturday, saying “I do” with his Cuban model girlfriend after five years of dating.

The pair made it official in front of a whopping 500 guests, who arrived on tour buses, at Episcopal church Bethesda-by-the Sea, near MJ’s residence.

The 50-year-old basketball star then had 1,500 (!) friends to join in the celebrations with himself and Yvette Prieto at the Bears Club, in Jupiter, Fla.

Michael Jordan, who first met the 35-year-old beauty at a nightclub in Miami back in early 2008, popped the question in 2011 over the holidays.

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

It’s the second marriage for the former Chicago Bulls star turned Charlotte Bobcats owner, who has three grown children with Juanita Vanoy.

Congratulations to the happy couple on what sounds like a magical day. Check out a bunch more Michael Jordan and Yvette Prieto photos below …
