Petra Ecclestone Beats Kim Kardashian in the Battle of the Weddings

Kim Kardashian‘s wedding to Kris Humphries took place last week and all the planning and scheming by Kim still made the wedding a big ho hum.   The wedding was clearly all about how much money she could make from it!  She sold the pictures, the videos, got paid for her engagement party, she sold everything she could.

In direct contrast today Formula 1 heiress Petra Ecclestone married her fiancé James Stunt in a fairy tale wedding.  The lavish ceremony took place at the 15th century Odescalchi castle in Bracciano, outside Rome.   The castle grounds had been transformed into what was described as a ‘magical world’ themed setting, with air-conditioned, flower-filled canopies to keep guests cool.

Petra wore a couture wedding dress by Vera Wang with her blond hair down she wore a beautiful diamond tiara and drop earrings.  Her Dad paid the Black Eyed Peas over $1 million to perform.

Guests enjoyed Cristal champagne, caviar and caviar canapes.  The celebrity guests included Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton, Sarah Ferguson, ­Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas.

Once the two were married Andrea Bocelli  performed Time To Say Goodbye.  The celebrations were rounded off with a midnight fireworks display.
