Isha Ambani, daughter of richest Indian Mukesh Ambani is all set to tie the knot to Ajay Piramal’s son Anand Piramal in a lavish wedding in Mumbai. And Isha being the only daughter of the millionaire family, the wedding is expected to be one of the most expensive in the world.

While it is already out that the estimated cost of Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal’s wedding is around Rs 724 crore ($100 million) which opens all the doors of possibility that the Ambani and Piramal wedding can be the most expensive wedding in history considering the fact that Prince Charles & Diana  wedding which costs around $110 million is till now stated the most expensive wedding.

So with just one day to go for the Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal’s wedding which can be the biggest and probably the most expensive wedding of the world, we list you down the 10 expensive weddings in history.

The Royal Wedding between Prince Charles and Princess Diana in 1981 is simply the most expensive wedding ever. Though their wedding took place decades ago, no other wedding has come close to Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s. She was chauffeured in a glass coach from her place to the cathedral.

Daughter of Lakshmi Mittal, Vanisha Mittal  married to Amit Bhatia is one of the most expensive wedding in the year 2004. While the wedding was held at  the historic 17th century Chateau Veaux le Vicomte near Paris, the engagement ceremony took place at the Palace of Versailles. Interestingly International recording artists and actress Kylie Minogue was paid $330,000 to perform for just half an hour.

Known as ‘wedding of the century’ Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding is the most remembered one due to the royalty which it oozed. The wedding which took place in 2011 was held at the Westminster Abbey. The couple is blessed with two Princes and one Princess.

Manchester United Footballer Wayne Rooney tied knot with Coleen McLoughlin at the Abbey of Cervara near Genoa in Italy in 2008. The fact that Ronney chartered five private jets to fly 64 of their guests to the wedding are enough to justify the extravagant budget of the wedding. However in this case the couple was lucky as half of the wedding cost was covered up when they sold the exclusive rights of their wedding pictures to a magazine for $4.2 million

Daughter of ex-US President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State and Senator Hillary Clinton, Chelsea Clinton married to investment banker Marc Mezvinsky in Astor Courts in 2010. The venue provided a serene and romantic view of the Hudson River.

Singer Liza Minnelli  married concert promoter David Gest in  New York’s Fifth Avenue in 2002. While  Elizabeth Taylor was the matron of honour, the guests included the whole Jackson Five, with Michael Jackson as the best man. However their marriage was termed as the the most dirty in Hollywood as the couple split in just over a year. It was stated that Liza would beat David after she had too much alcohol.

Their love story was unique but their marriage was not as it just lasted for five years. Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor met construction worker Larry Fortensky in a rehab facility where both checked in for their drug problems. The couple said ‘I do’ in 1991 at Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch. However even after their split the couple remained good friends

In November 2007, Mills gave a number of interviews, saying that the breakdown of the marriage was caused by her husband’s daughter, Stella, whom she described as “jealous” and “evil”.

British model-actress Elizabeth Hurley tied the knot with Indian businessman Arun Nayar twice. The first was in 2007 which was held at the Sudeley Castle in England. The second time was at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, which was done in accordance to Nayar’s Hindu tradition.The Indian celebrations included a sangeet at Nagaur Fort and a reception at Mehrangarh Fort. The couple apparently split after three years of marriage.
