The nuptials in question were that of 23-year-old Sargis Karapetyan and his Georgian bride, 25-year-old Salome Kintsurashvili, and were beyond lavish.
Attended by the President of Armenia, Serzh Sargisyanu, the Moscow-based pair's celebration was held at the famous Safisa, where billionaire's son Said Gutseriev, 28, married 20-year-old student Khadija Uzhakhovs in March.
The wedding which saw J Lo and Enrique Iglesias perform made headlines around the world, but this latest ceremony managed to put the extravagance of the Gutseriev nuptials in the shade.
With a net worth of around $4 billion, his son's wedding was always going to be extravagant.
How extravagant? Firstly, Maroon 5 were the wedding band. It's been estimated that they were paid around $500,000-800,000 to play the gig, and the bride certainly made the most of the expensive by joining the lead singer Adam Levine on stage to sing along.
Additional entertainment was provided by the Ukranian pop singer Vera Brezhneva, singers Alla Pugacheva, Valery Meladzem, Grigory Leps, Sofia Rotaru, Nikolay Baskov, Timati and Dima Bilan, while Pop singer Philip Kirkorov interrupted his tour to perform.
Personalities from Russian television also attended including Andrey Malakhov, while presenter Tanya Gevorkyan looked stunning in a green strapless gown by Oscar de la Renta as she posed in the fairytale surroundings.
While the groom works as Vice President of his father's company, Salome is the co-owner of the online vintage fashion store Buy By Me, but she eschewed a pre-loved item when it came to choosing her wedding dress.
The bride opted for three different gowns, the first of which was a glittering Elle Saab gown with long sleeves and a train.
Although the cost of the dress has not been revealed, the starting price of a couture wedding dress by the Lebanese designer is $35,000 (£24,000).
