In the opulent realm of high-profile weddings, the Ambani household is set to host one of the most extravagant celebrations to date – the union of Anant Ambani, the youngest scion of Reliance Industries' Chairman and Managing Director Mukesh Ambani, with Radhika Merchant. This forthcoming nuptial affair is not just a wedding; it's a grand festival spanning not mere days, but months of revelry. The highly-anticipated marriage is scheduled for July 12, with the pre-wedding festivities kicking off in the first week of March in Jamnagar.

When it comes to an Ambani wedding, grandeur is a given, and Anant and Radhika's union promises to be nothing short of a global spectacle. Reports in the Economic Times reveal a star-studded guest list that is bound to leave everyone in awe. The pre-wedding celebrations are expected to be graced by an array of global personalities, including Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, and Disney CEO Bob Iger, among a host of other influential figures.

The prestigious gathering is set to include luminaries from various sectors, such as finance, technology, and royalty. Names like Ivanka Trump, Morgan Stanley CEO Ted Pick, and the king and queen of Bhutan are expected to add to the glitz and glamour of the occasion. The presence of dignitaries like Qatar Premier Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Adnoc CEO Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, and tech investor Yuri Milner only adds to the international allure of the festivities.

The prelude to this grand celebration, the Lagan Lakhvanu ceremony, recently took place, showcasing the couple's adherence to traditional Gujarati customs. This ritual involved presenting the Kankotri wedding invitation to the gods, seeking their sacred blessings for the impending union.

As the world awaits the wedding on July 12, the pre-wedding celebrations in March are anticipated to set a new benchmark for opulence.
