Guests including Hillary Clinton, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas have arrived to watch the daughter of India's richest man tie the knot after enjoying days of lavish pre-wedding events.
Bride Isha Ambani, 27, is tying the knot with 33-year-old real estate mogul Anand Piramal, a childhood friend and the son of another uber-wealthy businessman, in a wedding that is thought to cost $100million (£74.9million), according to Bloomberg. Other estimates put the cost at $15million (£12million).
The wedding is being hosted by the bride's father, business mogul Mukesh Ambani, 61, who has an estimated fortune of $41.5 billion (£33.1 billion), at his towering 27-storey Mumbai home.
Today, following two days of discos, brunches and a private concert from Beyonce in the northwestern city of Udaipur, Rajasthan, hundreds of guests arrived at the Ambani residence, which has been decked out in hundreds of metres of twinkling fairy lights and thousands of fresh flowers.

In scenes that could have been taken from a Hollywood awards show, Bollywood royalty posed for photos on a red carpet before making their way inside.
Newlyweds Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jones, who married in their own extravagant Indian wedding last month, happily smiled for the camera. Priyanka is a long-time friend of Miss Ambani.

Elsewhere Miss Ambanis brothers were seated on horseback as they waited to welcome Mr Piramal's family.
It has been reported that Miss Ambani, a Yale graduate, and Mr Piramal, have requested guests do not share photos from inside the wedding itself in a bid to keep it as personal and intimate as possible.

However there has been plenty shared on social media from the pre-wedding receptions, with Beyonce among those who have taken to Instagram to offer a look inside the lavish events.
The first hint of the nuptials' lavishness was the elaborate embroidered and gold plated Dolce & Gabbana box guests received as invitations.
Each exquisite rose printed package contained a series of luxury cards which folded out to reveal details of the events that would be held across the five-day affair.
As per Indian tradition, the party kicked off with the Sangeet, which typically sees the bride, groom and their families come together to sing and dance in stage performances celebrating their unions.
But Mr Ambani, whose business interests cover oil, telecoms, chemicals, textiles, technology and food, did not hold back when it came to the entertainment for his little girl.

Beyoncé was flown in especially for the a 45-minute private concert, which saw her make several costume changes and sing hit songs Perfect and Crazy In Love.
The pop star pocketed $6 million for her last private gig back in 2014.
It is unlikely another musical act will perform today as this is usually reserved for the opening night's festivities.
Bollywood superstars including Aishwarya Rai partied the night away as laser lights criss-crossed the sky. Among them were newlyweds Deepika Padukone, 32, and Ranveer Singh, 33, who married in Lake Como last month.
Other reported VIP wedding guests included The Huffington Post editor-in-chief Arianna Huffington, 21st Century Fox CEO James Murdoch, BP Group CEO Bob Dudley, and cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar.
Mr Piramal and Yale graduate Miss Ambani selected the finest locations in Udaipur, known as the 'city of lakes', for the weekend, taking over the five-star Oberoi Udaivilas hotel and the 18th century City Palace for two night-time events.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
