Donald Trump: Nervous Groom

Some people are calling it the wedding of the young century. Over the weekend, real estate mogul Donald Trump married model Melania Knauss in front of some 400 guests in Palm Beach, Fla.

Among them was Pat O'Brien of "The Insider," who got to spend time with The Donald before the big event.

And O'Brien tells The Early Show co-anchor Hannah Storm Trump showed he's just like most grooms.

"Ya know," O'Brien says, "I think he was a little nervous. 'Mr. Art of the Deal,' big shot, here (chuckle)."

"What was great about the wedding was that, even though there were all these celebrities and stars and politicians -- Bill Clinton was there and (New York) Gov. Pataki -- and all these people, even though he had this fan reaction and…these cars, it still seemed like a little family wedding. I'm not kidding.

"We were all in that church and it still seemed just like a regular normal couple, which they are, actually getting married. That was the good part of it, but it was lavish, I'll tell you that."

Trump's children were heavily involved in the ceremony, O'Brien says: "His kids are great. He's a great dad to those kids, and Melania will be a great addition to that family."

Interestingly, O'Brien notes that Pataki was hunched over his Blackberry much of the time, making sure his home state was coping well with the major storm that hit Saturday.

Also there: Les Moonves, co-president of CBS parent Viacom, and his new bride, The Early Show co-anchor Julie Chen.

O'Brien said Chen "looked amazing" and was "behaving herself," in response to a question Storm put to him while kidding him.
