#FYIOpinion: Why is the big fat Reddy wedding bothering us?

Now, another wedding is making news.

BJP's Maharashtra chief Raosaheb Danve's son had a lavish wedding. A wedding that would match the ridiculously expensive weddings in Karana Johar movies.

Santosh Danve got married to Renu, a well-known Marathi musician Rajesh Sarkate's daughter at the Jabinda Estate lawns in Aurangabad on Thursday. A lush affair involving video invites, drone-mounted cameras and designer sets, the event welcomed the state's entire cabinet. CM Devendra Fadnavis graced the occasion and there were at least 30,000 other guests.

Here's the video invite:

In the video, the couple is seen dancing away to the popular number "Love me again" by John Newman.

We hope Newman got his royalty.

From taking a ride in a Porsche to flaunting Louis Vuitton apparel, the pre-wedding film hinted how posh the wedding would be. The video was posted on Santosh's Facebook page.

The venue was decorated by art directors who followed a theme that gave a 'medieval era' touch. From Indian dishes to Chinese, the food game was strong as well.
