The duo didn’t do the conventional things like having a massive cake, bridesmaids or groomsmen and the bridal party.
Instead, they kick-started their week-long wedding itinerary with a luxe three-day jungle safari in South Africa with 68 of their closest friends and family at the Sangita Safari Lodge in Sabi Sand Nature Reserve. Reportedly, it cost them a whopping $2,000 per night, including the stay.
Later, they flew everyone to Egypt for the actual ceremony.

Several famous people like Lance Bass, Robin Thicke, Kevin O’Leary and Serena Kerrigan attended their wedding.
On the first night, they had a big party at the Muhammed Ali Palace, Egypt with the ‘Modern Cairo’ theme. The event, which went on until five in the morning, had belly and fire dancers and a bazaar to shop too.
Later, they also arranged a special tour of the Pyramids and the Sphinx for their guests, including areas not generally open to the public. This was followed by a fancy dinner with the theme ‘Ancient Egypt X The Met Gala’ at the yet-unopened Grand Egyptian Museum.
