Top 10 Most Expensive Weddings

FYI - Total cost of which could probably rid the world of famine…

For these folks, if their wedding day(s) weren't the happiest days of their lives, then something is seriously wrong. If you thought your wedding was astronomical, try these top ten of the most extravagant weddings to date ranging from $2 million to $78 million dollars where broadcasting your wedding vows to the world is as important as showing the lining of your wallet.

10. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes ($2 million)

They're still together, almost 6 years later, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and they come in at number 10 on the top ten list of grandest weddings of all time. After Tom proposed to Katie on the top of the Eiffel Tower, 19 months before the wedding date, they were married in Italy at the 15^th century castle, Odescalchi Castle in Rome on November 18^th, 2006. Giorgio Armani designed all the apparel for the bridal party and Andrea Boccelli gave a musical performance. The wedding was attended by 150 guests. The couple honeymooned in Maldives following the elaborate wedding event.
9. Paul McCartney and Heather Mills ($3 million)

Fireworks, grand feasting and dancers dressed in Indian costume performed for Paul McCartney and Heather Mill's wedding in 2001. The $3 million dollar wedding ceremony took place in County, Monaghan, Ireland. The ceremony was held in St. Salvador's Church and the reception took place at Castle Leslie with 300 guests. Heather Mills wore a dress she herself fashioned and carried roses named after her husband. Following their affair they honeymooned at a private island in Seychelles. They spent their first evening on a $20 million yacht for $19,000 a night.
8. Liza Minnelli and David Gest ($3.5 million)

Held at the Manhattan's Collegiate Church in 2002, with a sum total of 850 wedding guests, the wedding was a monumental event with guests including Natalie Cole singing "Unforgettable", a 60-piece orchestra also kept the guests entertained along with Tony Bennett. The wedding included a $40,000 6-foot, 12-tier cake, a staff of 500 and a bill of over $700,000 in flowers.
7. Elizabeth Hurley &ArunNayar ($7 million)

Wed on June 29, 2006, Elizabeth Hurley and ArunNayar, an Indian businessman married in a 15^th century castle in Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire in Britain. The festivities lasted for 8 days across the 2 continents of Europe and Asia. The proceedings began at Sudeley and then the wedding party traveled to UmaidBhawan Palace in Jodhpur, India. The palace suite cost $10,000 a night.
6. DelphineArnault and Alessandro VallarinoGancia ($7 million)

Who said a bride isn't worth it, especially when she's the daughter of the wealthy French businessman, Bernard Arnault? A father coined the 'pope of fashion' in France too means of course, a fancy dress, in fact, one so fancy that it was fashioned by the famous designer, John Galliano. It certainly was a price you'd not find on the racks at David's Bridal either. Add to a wealthy bride a wealthy groom with a family with a wine dynasty business and you've got a splendid party, with of course, plenty of fine wines. They couple wed in 2005 at the Cote d' Azur in France. The venue was decorated with 5,000 white roses. Harper's Bazaar called it the "Wedding of the Year".
5. Wayne Rooney & Coleen McLoughlin ($15 million)

Okay if that previous wedding bill wasn't enough to impress you, try doubling that with a few little extras and you've got the wedding of Wayne Rooney and Coleen McLaughlin at $15 million. Colleen McLoughlin, a television presenter/product endorser plus a Manchester United/England football star resulted not only in an expensive wedding but an interesting one at that. The 4 day wedding ceremony took place in Villa Durazzo in Portofino Italy on June 12, 2008. With stunning views of the Italian Rivera on a yacht with 64 guests flown in on five different private jets, the ambiance was beautiful. After spending almost $4 million dollars on a dress designed by Georgia Chapman's Marchesa label, guests had to wonder if the budget had run out after being served pizza for the reception. In the end, they were able to cut costs of $5 million by allowing Britain's OK! Magazine to publish exclusive information and pictures about the event, that is, after the pizza was served.
4. VikramChatwal and PrivaSachdey ($20 million)

Let's make it an even 20 after 15, that is, $20 mil, and then everything will be up to par for the wedding of VikramChatwal, son of a New York hotel magnet and a jet-setting hotelier and actor and for his model/actress/investment banker bride, PriyaSachdey (who ever said a man couldn't have it all). The wedding took place on February 18^th, 2006 and is known as one of the most luxurious weddings ever in all of India. Bill Clinton was on the guest list along with many other well-known, high-powered people. The wedding took place over 10 days and was spread across 3 cities in India (Mumbai, Udaipur, and Delhi). There were 600 guests from 26 countries who were all retrieved for the event on chartered jets.
3. Miss Yugoslavia Aleksandra Kokotovic and AndreyMelnichenko ($30 million)

Topping a $20 million dollar wedding isn't easy but for Miss Yugoslavia Aleksandra Kokotovic and AndreyMelnichenko, it wasn't hard with a $30 million dollar extravaganza that made history in world famous weddings. AndreyMelnichenko, the Russian billionaire and founder of MDM Bank and the Serbian model, Miss Yugoslavia Aleksandra Kokotovic married in Cote D' Azur, France on September 3^rd, 2005. There were performances by Christina Aguilera and Whitney Houston for a full house of guests of the rich and famous. The singers alone cost $3.6 million each to perform.
2. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Princess Salama ($44.5 million)

The Arabs really know how to have a wedding party and especially the ruler of Dubai who married Princess Salama in 1981. The wedding earned a place in the Forbes list of "Billionaire Weddings". A stadium was built just for the occasion to entertain 20,000 guests for 7 days of luxury.
1. Vanisha Mittal &Amit Bhatia ($78 million)

The Indians, however, outshined the Arabs on November 18^th, 2004 when Vanisha Mittal &Amit Bhatia wed in what is recorded as the most expensive wedding in history. 1,000 guests from around the world attended after each had received a 20-page silver card to the event which included all the lavish details the entire venue that lasted for 5 days. The party took place at the finest chateau and garden in France, the 17^th century, Vaux le Vicomte. The bride, Vanisha Mittal, daughter to the steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal and Amit Bhatia, the investment banker wed in sheer riches. A performance by Kylie Minogue the pop singer was the high-lighted attraction to the event. 100 different dishes were prepared by a top Calcutta Chef and the wine cost $1.5 million. The costs of everything else we'll leave to your imagination!
Weddings are a happy time for all, especially for the guests who were able to attend the top ten most expensive weddings in history. Of these wedding events, the real two questions are who is still together and who will be next to top the list?

Wine, smoke and die young -

choice to attain the destiny much earlier!!!

This is not for general information. But specifically for those..........

Most celebrities, men and women, died at the age of around 27 or a little above! Recent such death was Amy Winehouse at 27, a talented and famous singer. To name a few; Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrixs, Kurt Cobain, Marilyn Monroe etc. In fact Amy Winehouse, the 5 Gramy awards winner was introduced to hard drugs by no one else but by her own lover and husband Blake Fielder-Civil. As her popularity grew day by day, so did her addiction to wine and smoke. A stage she had reached to no longer distinguish between her public and private space but doing bizarre things even on stage. She was booed by audience in Serbia for having swayed drunkenly and dropped the microphone. Similarly Brian Jones died in a swimming pool, Janis Joplin known to be addicted to heroin as well, Jim Morrison was found dead in his bathtub, Jimi Hendrix died after choking on his own vomit following a mix of sleeping pills and wine. It was no better of Elvis Presley at his 42nd to have been found dead in his toilet after an overdose.

No amount of external sympathies and help would come to the rescue of those addicted except their own determination, strong will to forbid once for all for ever and ever as most of them do wish to live long and also their loved ones loss would be immeasurable in all respects from all angles.

[nidokidos] Negative mind and life's distractions: How to fight against it

Negative mind and life's distractions: How to fight against it

It's been just about a whole week since I have been on here! So sorry readers for the great delay of a new post! However, I have something that I want to talk about today, which most people have trouble in! That's get focused off their negative distractions!

Negative distractions in life is something that a lot of people go through, which I can relate because it a great fight against it! However, the negative distractions objective is to have us get our focus and attention towards the postive and manifesting great things in our lives!

As for me, I have learned that negative distractions don't have any power unless one gives their attention or mind to that distration long enough! That's when the negative distraction have the power to make things worse! In order words, where your focus is, you will give attention and energy to it, and when one contrentrates their mind towards what ever has gotten attention the most, it will come into manfestion or will become as your reality! To put it simple terms, what you focus on, you will get!

Basically,I want to tell a short story in order for you of what happened to me 5 weeks ago for an example so that most of you readers can understand

Five weeks ago, I was at work! A fellow coworker of mine told me that my eye was very red, which I thought, " What is going on!" After I got off work the following day, I went to the book store, and my eye begin to feel worse, and it was gooey stuff out of my eye! When I got home, I laid down for a minute and my eye calmed down, then when I open it felt worse! However, I called a fellow relative and asked her about the problem and she told me that I had the cases of the pink eye! I rushed to her house and she told me what type of eye treatement to go get! We went to get the prescription from the store and came back, I put the eye dropper in, and that stuff working, and I kept rubbing and picking at my eye, and complaining about my issue of the pink eye because of that gooey stuff coming out! I focused my energy on how the pink eye was kicking my butt, and it felt more worse! I focused so much on the distraction until it was pitful!

The next mourning, I woke up and my eye was gooey, and I looked in the mirror, I am like that's groose, I never had the pink eye before! Bascially I called in and took off from work that day! I was feeling not confident and worse,I was thinking about going to the doctor! Something lead me to put my video called the secret, and I watched it for a while, then it reminded me to focus my thinking on the best! While I did that, I focused agressive on my eye being healed while taking my prescription medicine for my eye! I begin to feel my eye getting better! I called my mom and told her ,I would be to her work place!

She didn't want me to speak negative and she gave me some lecture about not listening to negative hearted people, claim and focus on that your eye is already healed, and continue to take your prescription medicine for your eye four times a day! Don't rub or touch your eye! You are fine "son"!

After leaving her workplace, I took her advice and started to see my eye being healed while taking my eye presciption medicine 4 times a day for my eye! In the mist of that distraction to my body,I focused on that my eye was already healed! I seen the vision of my eye being as white as snow! Within 3 days, my eye was as white as snow! I was so amazed!

Special note:For most of you readers, you haven't had the same deal as me or experienced a distraction like that! This is only an example, if you feel that you need to go to the doctor concerning medical reasons, do that, but have the vision and claim that you are already healed, while taking your medicine to help you to get healed!

In order to be stop distractions, one has to get agressively focused! I mean very agressive in order to see results so that the distractions will stop! I learned that a negative distraction won't go away by condicence, you have to fight against it!

Few ways to fight against a distraction

1). Get videos of postive personal development videos like "the secret"! Listen to it over and over again! This is a main tool to fight against distraction! Or get other positive videos to get your mind of that negative distraction! This is a tool to get your mind off the distraction! Don't do it every once and while because those negative distractions in life or in the mind will make an attempt to come back!

2). Practice seeing yourself out of that bad situation! Pretend like '"you are already out of that situation! This has already happened" See a vision of yourself that the good as already came out of this situation! Give your attention to that daily and say thank you that " The good has already came out of the situation! Don't do it every now and then! Nothing will happen that way! You have to be agressive every day, and focus agressively on that every day!!

Note: Never say, " I am coming out of this situation because it will ended always being futuristic!"

3). Get away from people who are very negative! This is a very important factor! Some people don't believe the impossible! It's very important to get away from those type of people because they will make you feel down, and worser about your self!

I hope that everyone have enjoyed this post!

[nidokidos] Fruits of Labour (Hard Work)

Click here to get beautiful emails Click here to join forum

Fruits of Labour (Hard Work)

There once lived a rich businessman who had a lazy and fun loving son. The businessman wanted his son to be hard-working and responsible. He wanted him to realize the value of labour. One day he summoned his son and said: "Today, I want you to go out and earn something, failing which you won't have your meals tonight."

The boy was callous and not used to any kind of work. This demand by his father scared him and he went crying straight to his mother. Her heart melted at the sight of tears in her son's eyes. She grew restless. In a bid to help him she gave him a gold coin. In the evening when the father asked his son what he had earned, the son promptly presented him the gold coin. The father then asked him to throw it into a well. The son did as he was told.

The father was a man of wisdom and experience and guessed that the source of the gold coin was the boy's mother. The next day he sent his wife to her parent's town and asked his son to go and earn something with the threat of being denied the night meals if he failed.

This time he went crying to his sister who sympathized with him and gave him a rupee coin out of her own savings. When his father asked him what he had earned the boy tossed the rupee coin at him. The father again asked him to throw it in a well. The son did it quite readily. Again the father's wisdom told him that the rupee coin was not earned by his son. He then sent his daughter to her in-laws' house. He again asked his son to go out and earn with the threat that he shall not have anything for dinner that night.

This time since there was no one to help him out; the son was forced to go to the market in search of work. One of the shopkeepers there told him that he would pay him two rupees if he carried his trunk to his house. The rich man's son could not refuse and was drenched in sweat by the time he finished the job. His feet were trembling and his neck and back were aching. There were rashes on his back. As he returned home and produced the two rupee note before his father and was asked to throw it into the well, the horrified son almost cried out. He could not imagine throwing his hard-earned money like this. He said amid sobbing: "Father! My entire body is aching. My back has rashes and you are asking me to throw the money into the well."

At this the businessman smiled. He told him that one feels the pain only when the fruits of hard labour are wasted. On earlier two occasions he was helped by his mother and sister and therefore had no pain in throwing the coins into the well. The son had now realized the value of hard work. He vowed never to be lazy and safe keep the father's wealth. The father handed over the keys of his shop to the son and promised to guide him through the rest of the life.

Moral of the Story: Some of the life's best lessons come from the hardest situations.

Mohammad Ashraful Amin
