Was Tamara's £7m wedding a feast of vulgarity?
This was the white wedding to end all white weddings, with even the guests being asked to become matching accessories to the bride. But that dress code was about as modest as Tamara Ecclestone's raunchy, bacchanalian wedding feast was to be.
But then with a £2.5 billion fortune, courtesy of her Formula 1 supremo father Bernie, her marriage to disgraced City stockbroker Jay Rutland was always going to be a little less than discreet. That, of course, is not her style. Tamara subscribes to the "if you've got it, flaunt it" philosophy, and she decided to mark the occasion with all the flamboyance money can buy. The trouble is, of course, that you can't buy taste.
Tamara took her first dance as Mrs Rutland to a cover of Lionel Richie's Endless Love, performed live by Mariah Carey - hired for £2.5 million. Miss Carey also sang her new single Beautiful. Sir Elton John also played an hour-long set on Monday night, dedicating his song Circle Of Life, from the soundtrack to Disney film The Lion King, to the happy couple. It is thought the singer was paid £1 million to attend. (excerpt from Mail Online)
