Katy Perry & Russell Brand

Katy Perry has dated some of Hollywood’s finest men in recent years, but she was once married to British comedian Russell Brand. Perry and Brand got engaged on New Year’s Eve, and they married in October 2010. Although neither of them is of South Asian heritage or follows the Hindu faith, their wedding was heavily influenced by both.

The couple moved back to the country, where Brand proposed, and the couple said, “I do.” The ceremony was held near the Ranthambore tiger sanctuary in Rajasthan, with the backdrop of the “inspirational and majestic countryside of Northern India.” There were just 80 people in attendance as well. Laxmi and Mala, two elephants, were in attendance for the big day and even entered the site on a red carpet. The groom went to the area where the bride awaits during the Bharat or traditional Indian wedding procession. Well, we are not sure how much it cost them. Given their fortune and investments, such a lavish wedding is not at all surprising.
