Russell Brand and Katy Perry's very big day

Russell Brand and Katy Perry tied the knot in India over the weekend at a luxury resort within a Rajasthani tiger reserve. The most extravagant wedding of the year reportedly featured:

▶ A Bollywood banquet with drummers, dancers, fire eaters and snake charmers.

▶ Camels, horses and a baby elephant for Brand's arrival, a tiger named Machli as a gift for his bride, and another that got into the wedding party to the horror of security staff.

▶ 1,380 cans of soft drinks and 4,800 bottles of mineral water.

▶ Celebrity attendees including P Diddy, David Walliams and Jonathan Ross.

▶ A fortune-telling parrot, who informed the newlyweds they would have a long marriage, children and, most importantly, successful careers.

(William Hill is offering odds of 7-2 on a break-up before the end of 2011.)
