What does a wedding that cost $1 billion look like?

It's a question we've often pondered in our daydreams. And now we know the answer.

Oil billionaire's son Said Gutseriev, 28, married 20-year-old student Khadija Uzhakhovs in Moscow. And it was insanely lavish.

The bride wore a heavily-embellished Haute Couture Elie Saab gown that most likely cost in the region of £20,000.

So heavily bedazzled and extravagant was it that she had to be helped to walk, and stairs became quite a feat to ascend.

In fact, it wasn't far off the $300,000 gown Saab presented at the end of his last couture show.

Every single surface was dripping in flowers, because why not.

Oh, and Sting was there too, pictured here just giving the groom some sage advice about marriage while holding the bride's bouquet.

He put a performace in later on in the evening too.

But the big hitter of the night was J Lo. Yes, actual J Lo, not a tribute act.

And also Enrique Iglesias (the early Noughties were back big time)...

To top it off there was a cake so big it could double as a wedding-themed Trojan Horse.

There you have it. A $1 billion wedding.

Thank you Instagram.
