The upcoming pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, set to take place this weekend in Jamnagar, have already been dubbed the wedding of the year. Guests have been issued a nine-page dress code outlining the requirements for the three-day extravaganza, which includes a cocktail party, sightseeing, and a visit to an animal sanctuary.
The couple, from two of India's wealthiest families, have asked attendees to prepare at least five outfits. The first evening calls for black tie and cocktail dresses, while the final evening demands traditional Indian formalwear such as sherwanis and sarees. The festivities will also feature a 'Mela Rogue' event with a 'dazzling desi romance' theme and a 'casual chic' dress code for the Tusker Trails.
The VIP guest list reportedly includes Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Hillary Clinton. Rihanna and Punjabi musician Diljit Dosanjh are expected to perform. The Ambani family previously paid Beyoncé $6 million to perform at Anant's sister's wedding in 2018.
Guests will travel to Jamnagar on chartered flights and ferries, with a limit of three suitcases per couple. The venue, the groom's family home, will host 1,000 guests with 21 chefs catering. Laundry services, including express steaming, will be available throughout the weekend.
