2.Kate Middleton and Prince William
Date: April 29, 2011
Cost: $34 Million 
If you thought that the most talked about royal wedding since Princess Diana would undoubtedly be the most expensive wedding in history, it's not even close although it will be regarded as the gold standard for high society weddings of the modern age. England has a long history of lavish weddings and this was no exception. Between her $136,000 wedding ring, $80,000 cake, $70,000 dress, $800,000 in flowers, $600,000 wedding reception, luxurious hotel rooms for guests costing $550 per room per night, and police protection that cost the tax payers extra money in overtime and holiday pay, no expense was spared. If you're like most of the world, you probably watched the wedding or found scores of pictures.


3.Al-Muhtadee Billah and Sarah Salleh
Date: September 9, 2004
Cost: $5.7 Million
In Brunei, a small southeast Asian country rich in oil, 30-year-old heir to the Sultan of Brunei, Al-Muhtadee Billah married 17-year-old Sarah Salleh in a weeklong ceremony that included fireworks, 103 limousines, and a solid gold crown for the bride. Salleh was dressed in a lavish wedding gown and held a gold and diamond bouquet. When royalty gets married in Brunei, it is the subject of a national celebration including two weeks of activities, a parade complete with marching bands and a guest list full of international A-listers.


4.Liza Minnelli & David Gest
Date: March 16, 2002
Cost: $4.2 Million
This was a Hollywood partygoer's dream. Forty-nine year old David Gest married 56-year-old Hollywood star, Liza Minnelli in a wedding that reportedly made even the celebrities who are used to larger than life spectacles stand in awe of what they saw. The wedding party was a who's who of the day. Gest's best man was Michael Jackson and Minnelli's maid of honor was Elizabeth Taylor.
A reported 1,000 people attended the wedding with Tony Bennett, backed by a 60 piece orchestra, providing the entertainment. Party-goers received a big dollar satin box filled with gifts fit for guests like Diana Ross, Lauren Bacall and Mia Farrow. Sadly, this couple proved that a big dollar wedding doesn't guarantee a happily ever after life. With allegations of spousal abuse as well as drug addiction, the couple divorced one year later.
5.Paul McCartney & Heather Mills
Date: June 11, 2002
Cost: $4.2 Million
This ultra-high dollar event is the most secluded and low profile of our five. Former Beatle, Paul McCartney and Heather Mills, a model who lost a leg in a motorcycle accident, married on June 11, 2002 at Castle Leslie, a secluded luxury castle in Ireland. The 300 person guest list was not disclosed but rumors place all the former Beatles, Bill Clinton, and many heads of state from all over the world. After a ceremony, guests danced on a large dance floor as well as rode in a luxury yacht throughout the event.
