Check out the outfit on the left, this is not the entertainment at the wedding this is the bride, Priya Sachdev during just one of the parties that made up her multi-day wedding to hotelier Vikram Chatwal (he of the much-maligned Dream Hotel). Style.com has a portfolio of the incredibly extravagant wedding that lasted seven nights and swept through three Indian cities. Imported flowers, flowing champagne and three jets to cart the 300-plus guests around were just part of the impressive affair. The wedding festivities took place in Mumbai,Udaipur and Delhi where the groom rode through the streets in a horse-drawn carriage. And forget Paris Hilton as an indicator of a truly spectacular party, you know it's really going to be fun when Bill Clinton shows up. The lovely couple are now honeymooning in the Maldives where Chatwal could perhaps get some much-needed lessons in hotel management.
