A billionaire businessman in India and his now wife
enjoyed a most wonderful wedding ceremony in Mumbai this past week:
After months of celebrations leading up to their big day, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are married!
The 29-year-old heir and youngest son of billionaire businessman Mukesh Ambani and Radhika, 29, the daughter of pharmaceutical tycoons Viren and Shaila Merchant, married on July 12 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai's Bandra-Kurla Complex, according to the Associated Press, the BBC and CNN,
A Divine Blessings Ceremony (Shubh Ashirwad) will follow on July 13, before the newlyweds' celebration will culminate with a grand reception (Mangal Utsav) on July 14, according to the Economic Times. The couple's star-studded nuptials were attended by royals, celebrities, world leaders and tech titans alike.
Kim Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian, Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra, as well as John Cena were among the A-list guests. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his wife Cherie Blair were also in attendance.
Anant and Radhika's highly-anticipated wedding has made the global headlines for months, as the couple hosted a series of high-profile pre-wedding celebrations, kicking off with a three-day affair and hastakshar (a traditional Indian prenuptial event that symbolizes the couple's bond and commitment to each other) at the Ambani's home in India, in early March.
The event was executed by Anant’s mother, Nita Mukesh Ambani, along with Indian designer Manish Malhotra as the creative director.
“It added to the divinity of the night—all in the temple where we spent so many special moments during the last seven years together,” Radhika told Vogue of the celebration.
Well I think this is very inspiring news, and wish good luck to the newlyweds. And the photos of lehenga dresses were a blessing. Now if Israel were to celebrate weddings this extravagant, I think it would be a very important sign of positivity for this country. So I'd appreciate if anybody who recognizes that the kind of weddings India's got are a great thing were to try and follow their example. It could be a very helpful image for Israel. Yes, seriously.
