Someone Threw a Billion Dollar Wedding and Forgot to Invite Me

In case you were feeling bad about springing for the more expensive folding chairs for your wedding, feel free to remind yourself that at least your marriage hasn’t been crowned “the most expensive in history.” Russian oligarch Mikhail Gutseriev shelled out around $1 billion for his son’s Moscow wedding and London after-party. Apparently, $1 billion buys you J. Lo. in a sequined cat-suit with a glittery cane. And Enrique Iglesias in a baseball cap. And these guys with mops on their heads.

My favourite detail: “[The bride’s gown] was imported from Paris and weighed 25lb because of the massive train and beadwork. The bride reportedly required assistance just to walk upstairs in it.”

JUST. TO WALK. UPSTAIRS.
