The young bride arrived in a beaded Elie Saab gown, whose wedding dresses range from £5,000-£18,000.
Her dress was imported from Paris and reportedly weighed 25lb (almost two stone) because of the huge train and heavy embellishment and the bride needed the assistance of several people to carry her train and help her walk upstairs
