Is This The Most Extravagant Wedding Ever?

What do you get when you cross a billionaire and a bride with an endless budget? A rather expensive, over-the-top wedding.

Said Gutseriev, the son of Russian oil tycoon Mikhail Gutseriev, married Khadija Uzhakhovs over the weekend, and the pair stopped at nothing to top Kimye’s wedding, which now looks paltry in comparison.

While Kim and Kanye’s wedding cost was in the millions, Gutseriev and Uzhakhovs managed to top that by dropping $1 billion in 24 hours.

So what exactly do you get for this sort of money?

Firstly, there was Uzhakhovs’s custom-made Elie Saab gown, which featured a train long enough to hide six children (no joke).

Then there were the thousands of candles and flowers distributed throughout the ceremony site, and the wedding band itself, which consisted of Jennifer Lopez, Enrique Iglesias, and Sting. Not to mention the ceiling-high wedding cake.

While we’re sure the memories from this wedding will be priceless, there’s no doubt the newlywed couple are now facing a rather large bill.
