29-year-old billionaire Anant Ambani and his fiancee Radhika Merchant will tie the knot in Mumbai in July. However, the couple has already started the pre-wedding celebrations since the end of March, with opulence and luxury that even the maharajas would envy.

The newlyweds recently invited more than a thousand people on a four-day private Mediterranean cruise because, as the bride put it, “many of our close friends couldn’t make it to the first party” in March in India.

By the way, a party of this level was considered a three-day, extravagantly lavish feast, with guests such as Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Ivanka Trump, and Rihanna giving a two-hour concert. In fact, the three-day party is said to have cost over 120 million pounds and has been labeled as the most expensive pre-wedding event in the history of India.

During the four-day trip to the Mediterranean aboard the Celebrity Ascent cruise ship that the newlyweds chartered for their guests, every night there was an ultra-luxurious party in which – for example – David Guetta and the Backstreet Boys entertained the couple’s company.

In fact, at a party at the famous Château de la Croix des Gardes in Cannes, Katy Perry was a guest artist.

Did it seem excessive? Is not.

On the last day of the cruise, the couple literally shut down the entire Portofino beach for a private event, at which Andrea Bocelli sang.

According to Vogue – which hosted both exclusive photos and statements from the bride – there will be “many more high-profile happenings” to follow, including “multiple pujas (a prayer ritual for good luck) and “a traditional sangeet ceremony”.
