Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant wedding

I went to the wedding of an asian colleague and it was amazing. Several 100 guests, lovely food and when the meal finished everyone was immediately on the dance floor. No hanging back. Great fun.
But this one seems on a completely different level. Verging on the obscene when you consider how clean water, sanitation or sufficient food is not available to all. And of course there is always the old saying that the marriage lasts in inverse proportion to the amount it costs....or something along those lines.

I have been to several Indian weddings and they are wonderful. One of them hired elephants for the Bride and Groom which looked a little weird coming down a side road in Leicester between parked cars.

The traditional salwar attire was a requirement for all guests. That is why Tony Blair and his wife were dressed the way they were. I didn't see how Justin Bieber dressed except for the pink oversized t-shirt leaving the airport. Actually, I think the Indian styles look better than our western styles (more formal) but Europeans wearing that would be called Cultural Appropriation and unacceptable in most instances.

They’ve been celebrating the wedding for the past 5 months posting photos from all over the world.

I don't know much about this wedding. We once accidentally witnessed an Indian wedding at a hotel we were staying in. It was huge! Hundreds of people obviously having a great time and the amazing colourful outfits were beautiful to see. We loved the music and dancing. I expect the Ambani wedding was an even bigger noisier more colourful and beautiful event than this.

Big Asian weddings are big money ££ even on a 'normal' scale
I was a little surprised at all the non Indian guests wearing traditional Indian clothing. I have an Indian neighbour, I think they'd be horrified if i started wearing a sari, we were always taught cultural appropriation was wrong
I think this may be a cat amongst the pigeons comment but I'm genuinely interested in how others may view it
