Inside The World’s Most Expensive Wedding – Just The R15 Billion [Video]

You've probably been to a wedding that seemed like a no expenses spared affair. Nah, because this is what such a wedding really looks like.

Wedding season is still in full swing, each Monday bringing with it more Facebook albums of the most beautiful wedding imaginable – #blessed. Truth be told they’re usually a bloody good time, especially when the dessert has been scoffed down and everyone busts out their dance moves.

If lavish is your thing then you need to take a look at the wedding of 28-year-old Said Gutseriev to 20-year-old student Khadija Uzhakhovs in Moscow. Coming in at a reported $1 billion the bill was fronted by oligarch Mikhael, father of Said, with this below from the Daily Mail:

Held at the luxury Moscow restaurant and banqueting venue Safisa, which was dripping with fairy lights and decked with wall-to-wall fresh flowers, the wedding set a new bar for extravagance.

The young bride arrived in a beaded gown with a billowing skirt by Elie Saab, whose wedding dresses range from £5,000-£18,000. Her bespoke gown was reported to have cost between $1 million USD or 25 million roubles – £692,000 or £256,000…

Meanwhile, guests travelled to the grand nuptials in a fleet of luxury cars including Rolls Royces which were seen lined up outside the venue ahead of the ceremony.

Looks like a good time, and I imagine there was no mad dash like when the MC announces the tab closes in 15 minutes.
