Internet Explodes As Vogue Drops Anant Ambani-Radhika Merchant Italian Pre-Wedding Bash Pics
The internet is buzzing after Vogue magazine shared an exclusive peek into the opulent pre-wedding celebrations of Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani in Italy. Though the wedding is set for July, the festivities have already kicked off in grand style, beginning with a lavish hastakshar ceremony in March at the Ambanis’ Jamnagar residence and continuing with a spectacular four-day Mediterranean cruise in May.
The Anant-Radhika cruise launched in Palermo, Sicily, with a delightful welcome lunch that set the tone for the extravaganza. As the luxurious vessel glided along the stunning Italian coastline, the Ambanis threw a celestial-themed formal party, transforming the evening into a star-studded affair, featuring Backstreet Boys, Katy Perry and Andrea Bocelli.
Radhika Merchant, the stunning bride-to-be, stole the show in a bespoke chiffon gown by Robert Wun, featuring a printed love letter penned by Anant for her 22nd birthday. “He wrote me this long letter for my birthday about what I mean to him,” Radhika shared with Vogue. “I wanted it for posterity—I want to be able to show it to my kids and grandkids, and say that ‘this is what our love was.’” The night reached new heights with a surprise performance by the Backstreet Boys, infusing the event with nostalgic charm.
The following day, the couple and their guests explored the historic city of Rome, continuing the festivities back on the cruise with a lively toga party. Reminiscing about their college days, Anant and Radhika adorned the party with banners from their alma maters, NYU and Brown University. The atmosphere was electrified by a DJ set from David Guetta, turning the deck into a pulsating dance floor.
Each meticulously planned detail, from the heartfelt love letter gown to the university-themed decorations, showcased the couple’s journey and their profound connection. The Anant-Radhika cruise perfectly blended personal memories with extravagant celebrations, creating unforgettable moments for everyone involved. As the countdown to their wedding continues, this prelude has set the stage for what promises to be a truly spectacular event.
