An Indian billionaire from one of Britain's wealthiest families has married his long-term sweetheart in a lavish three-day wedding said to have cost £15million - complete with performances from Jennifer Lopez and Nicole Scherzinger.
But when your family's worth £11.9billion, who needs to worry about cost?
Fifty-year-old Sanjay Hinduja wed Anu Mahtani in one of the most exclusive hotels in the Indian city of Udaipur, Jagmandir Island Palace.
In one of the most stunning weddings ever held in a country famed for its Bollywood spectaculars, cuisine from at least 16 countries was served to 16,000 delighted guests in a week-long celebration of the union.

Expensive: Nicole Scherzinger - here with designer and bride's sister Nandita Mahtani - was also on hand to perform: both women charge around $1million for private events
The event brought together some of the world's richest and most powerful people: 208 privately-chartered planes are said to have landed at the airport in the run-up - so many, they couldn't find anywhere to park.

It is thought 16,000 people have attended the many events held around the main wedding, while 800 attended during the three-day celebration.
Prominent guest included London-based billionaire Vedanta Chief Anil Aggarwal, son of Lakshmi Mittal Aditya Mittal, while the President of Iceland Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson was also on the guest list.
Once people arrived in Udaipur, they were chauffeured around in an elite fleet of top class BMWs, specially flown in from Mumbai.
In order to reach their glamorous hotel, 14 fully decorated boats were laid on.

The dress code was traditional Indian, and guests were treated to folk music on arrival - before the star performers took to the stage to treat them to hits like J-Lo's Until It Beats No More.
It is rumoured the bride's make up was done by Mac's director of make up artistry for India, Mickey Contractor.
However, this wasn't the only event thrown to celebrate the marriage.
It is understood two other parties were held the week before - possibly to accommodate the sheer number of guests.
It all kicked off with a party at the Taj Mahal Palace, in Mumbai, last Friday welcoming the 'who's who' of Bollywood - including Madhuri Dixit, Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff, according to Yahoo India.
