Weddings hold a different significance for different people. For some, it is a public declaration of who you will be spending the rest of your life with. For others, it is a life-changing event to be celebrated with their nearest and their dearest.

Whatever your inclinations, we can all agree that weddings do not come for cheap. In Malaysia, a wedding is expected to set you back by at least RM50,000 on average, and this does not include the cost for a honeymoon.

However, that average amount is nothing compared to some of the most luxurious weddings that have taken place in Malaysia. Read on and be amazed:

1. Rozita Che Wan and Zain Saidin

The famous couple reportedly received sponsorship worth RM13million for their wedding.

With sponsorships worth about RM13million, the 2013 union between actress Rozita Che Wan and her actor beau, Zain Saidin has been touted as the “most expensive wedding of the year”.

Sponsorships included jewellery valued at RM10 million from Habib Jewels and items from 27 sponsors.

On top of that, Rozita also reportedly received RM23,300 in wang hantaran (monetary gifts) and  RM9,300 in mas kahwin (dowry).

The wedding, held at Setia City Convention Centre in Shah Alam, was attended by some 200 guests.

2. Benjamin Yong and Elizabeth Lee

High-profile couple Benjamin Yong and Elizabeth Lee could have forked out RM54,000 for their wedding performances alone.

BIG Group creator Benjamin Yong and Bowerhaus co-founder Elizabeth Lee celebrated their union in one of the most extravagant affairs in 2014.

Held in Chin Woo Stadium in Kuala Lumpur, the carnival-themed wedding had all the makings of a vibrant funfair, including a spinning carousel centrepiece, a 25-piece swing band, aerial trapeze dancers, ballerinas, synchronised swimmers, and a variety of colourful wedding cakes and goodies.

An online bridal magazine owner we spoke to estimates that the high-profile couple could have spent at least RM54,000 on the performances alone.

Though it is hard to estimate just how much the carnival-themed affair costs, it is also possible that the couple could have forked out RM10,000 on the carousel and RM50,000 for décor lights.

Photography might have cost another RM20,000, and this is for their Kuala Lumpur wedding alone.

Prior to that, the high-profile couple had a pre-wedding kitchen tea party and ceremony in Sydney, Australia, and a traditional Chinese tea ceremony in the Ritz-Carlton, Kuala Lumpur.

3. Siti Nurhaliza and Datuk Khalid Mohamad Jiwa (Datuk K)

So this is what a RM12,000 wedding cake looks like!

One of the most elaborate celebrity weddings to have gone done in Malaysian history has got to be the union between pop princess Siti Nurhaliza and entrepreneur, Datuk Khalid Mohamad Jiwa (Datuk K).
