The lavish wedding between Indian billionaire heir Anant Ambani and pharmaceutical heiress Radhika Merchant took place over the weekend, and it was a glitzy, star-studded affair.
The nuptials took place in Mumbai, India, and comes after months of celebrations and festivities, including Rihanna's first concert in eight years at a pre-wedding celebration.
The international event brought out everyone from Kim Kardashian, singer Nick Jonas and actress Priyanka Chopra to actor John Cena, and Justin Bieber reportedly gave a performance.
A wedding of this magnitude, of course, was detailed, with Merchant telling Vogue in an interview published Sunday that the planning of festivities was a family affair.
"My mother-in-law was the C.E.O. of the wedding, as I like to say," Merchant told the outlet. "It was Nita's commitment and vision that brought our entire celebration to life."
