James Packers $6 Million Wedding

Filed under: Events

The details on the richest man in Australia's $6 million dollar wedding are starting to come together, or that's what the rumor-mill says anyway. James Packer's wedding to model and singer Erica Baxter will be happening sometime this month between June 16th and June 23rd. And although not 100% confirmed, it seems pretty clear that two of the top hotels in the area -- the the Hotel du Cap Eden and the Grand Hotel du Cap -- have been booked for the event, with staff at both sidestepping details but confirming that they have been completely reserved for unnamed events by an unnamed host during those dates.

Other rumored details include chauffeurs and yachts on stand-by for transporting guests from location to location, and a ship-board civil marriage ceremony for the couple to circumvent French residency requirements.

TomKat Honeymoon Aboard the Arctic P

I've refrained myself from joining the hordes chronicling every move of newlyweds Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes thus far but news of a yacht always draws me back into the fray. The two are spending their honeymoon yachting around the Maldives aboard luxury yacht the Arctic P. The Arctic P was the yacht of the late Kerry Packer and now belongs to his son, James Packer, who was a guest at the couple's wedding in Italy on Saturday. The Artic P is a 288-foot former salvage tug which Packer customized into a luxury yacht.

More pics of the Arctic P are available at Yacht Images and also here. Due to her tug past, she's not exactly the most gorgeous megayacht I have ever seen but I am sure the accomodations are luxurious.
