In India, weddings are celebratory occasions, with ceremonies and functions stretching over multiple days. When this comes to India (and Asia's) richest man, this is no different, but the scale is undoubtedly set to be unlike any other.

Just days ago, Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance announced a merger with Disney, but a merger of a different sort is taking place later this year, as Ambani's youngest son, Anant, is set to tie the knot with fiancee Radhika Merchant in a lavish ceremony in Gujarat.
On Friday, a three-day pre-wedding ceremony was organised in Jamnagar, Gujarat, with several celebrities in attendance, including prominent cricketing personalities.

The Ambani family is among the most powerful in India, and owns media outlet Sports18, which has the rights to broadcast Indian home series. The family is also the majority owner of IPL franchise Mumbai Indians, five-time champions.
Therefore, it is unsurprising that several prominent cricketing personalities have been invited to the event. Former India great and Mumbai Indians captain Sachin Tendulkar is in attendance, as is former India captain MS Dhoni. Current Indian captain and Mumbai Indians player Rohit Sharma has also been invited.
