To find the Ambani wedding distasteful

I know everyone can do what they like , it's their money . But such an extravagant event in a place where a large proportion of the population live in slum conditions is rather unsettling.? Plus the bride is stunning but the groom unfortunately does not come across as an individual with a lot

of intelligence . Before I get flamed , he and his family are encouraging the public to view them and I guess are expecting admiration.

I read it all cost £250 million. What a waste.

Awful beyond belief, but I guess we're all talking about it, which was presumably the intention.

Tbh spending that amount of money seems almost unimaginable, whatever country you live in. And agreed, what on earth was anyone doing accepting millions to be at a party? How scummy is that? Wouldn't you wonder what you are lending your name to?

I agree totally. And I think much less of those who were paid to attend. Pathetic really.

Obscene . To see such extravagance . O for the days when the Mega rich paid for hospitals schools and libraries !

It’s such a vulgar display of wealth. I’d rather donate the money in honour of the marriage but we did our wedding for much below the national average.

India must have the most unequal society worldwide . Unbelievable that there can be so much decadence and such absolute poverty side by side and that none of those people in attendance appears to have a conscience .Shame on them all.

They’ve been getting married since March. As in, that’s when the wedding started.

That’s a fuckton of vol-au-vents.

It was all over the minute the Kardashian’s got in on the act. 100% tacky.

MugPlate · 14/07/2024 21:13

Extremely gross.

Pieceofpurplesky · 14/07/2024 21:13

They paid guests to be there according to twitter so Boris Johnson was paid to turn up like a scruffy twat

ToxicChristmas · 14/07/2024 21:12

YANBU. Particularly embarrassing to pay people like the Kardashians to attend. Totally tacky and gross.

StSwithinsDay · 14/07/2024 21:12

Boris and Carrie Johnson there too.

LaurieFairyCake · 14/07/2024 21:09

Well I don't think the gap between rich and poor should be flouted so disgustingly

Particularly in India

Grotesque 🤷‍♀️

It’s bloody ridiculous. Wtf is Tony Blair doing there?
