Daughters of rich Indians who spend billions on their weddings


Do you remember the story of Asia's richest man spending 700 million yuan on his daughter's wedding?

At that time, the news was sensational around the world, because the wedding was so extravagant.

At this wedding, each invitation is worth 30,000 RMB because it is inlaid with gold; In order to transport the wedding guests, a total of 200 private jets and more than 1,000 luxury cars were arranged; By the way, Beyonce, the bride's idol, was also invited by the richest man to spend 100 million to serve as the wedding guest.

I'm sure many people, like me, have watched this wedding and are full of curiosity about India's luxurious wedding traditions.

Just in time for Valentine's Day this year, Netflix, in partnership with Conde Nast India, released the Big Day, a documentary about the lavish weddings of six Indian couples, giving us a glimpse into the multi-billion dollar industry in India.

Although not as rich as the richest daughter's 700 million wedding, but in these six weddings, there are many eye-opening places for us.

One of the most jaw-dropping weddings was that of Nikhita Iyar and Mukund Chillakanti. They are an Indian couple living in San Francisco who went to high school together but didn't really spark in high school.

It wasn't until Mukund's twin brother, Karthik, and Nikhita's sister, Lena, started dating that the two became close; Later, Karthik and Lena get engaged, and Mukund falls in love with Nikhita while preparing for the "sibling dance" of the wedding.

Although Mukund and Nikhita grew up in the United States, they chose to return to India for their wedding and chose Chennai, Nikhita's hometown.

Let's take a look at this wedding preparation meeting, the number of participants is so large, I don't know what small business is holding an annual meeting.

And that's just a few of the core staff, because at the wedding, there will be ten mobile staff to follow the bride, four people will be responsible for the ironing of the dress, and six catering experts will follow the family to take care of their meals.

Returning to India for the wedding made planning more difficult because Mukund and Nikhita both work in California, and Nikhita travels for more than eight months of the year, so her approach was to get the wedding company to download her work APP so they could communicate with each other about the wedding details.

Nikhita is a perfectionist, she has her own ideas for all the details of the wedding, no matter how small she has to confirm one by one, the wedding menu alone she and the team have repeatedly confirmed the last ten times.

Not only that, but at this wedding, everything is custom made.

From cushion covers to coasters to welcome letters delivered to guest rooms, everything has a personal touch to the couple.

Nikhita is committed to making her wedding a feast for the senses and the eyes.

For the welcome dinner, she created a Buddha bar with a custom statue; She also set up a stage on the water for fire dancers to perform.

Every little detail, including the Angle from which the lights are played, the stereo from which the music is played, and the position of each lantern, is carefully thought out.
