Other Expenses
In addition to the above expenses, the celebrity couple spent lavishly on several other items. They had their wedding attire designed by Ralph Lauren, organized a grand musical performance, a fireworks display, and even a cricket match before the wedding.
The couple also rented horses and elephants for the traditional Indian wedding procession. Moreover, other expenses, such as the cost of flowers used in decoration or the unnamed expenses, were also significant.
