This Billionaire Wedding In Manhattan Is Enough To Make Your Bank Account Cry

by Samantha McDonald

No strangers to elaborate weddings, we’ve ogled everything from a $10 million affair featuring Lady Gaga to a magical Zuhair Murad gown to rival that of Cinderella—but this weekend’s lavish celebration in New York City brings a whole new meaning to the words star-studded.

Sophie Lasry and Alexander Swieca, both of billionaire hedge-fund lineage, exchanged vows yesterday at Cipriani Wall Street (how fitting) in a fashion that was anything but ordinary. Picture this: a scene that united an unlikely celebrity trifecta of Hillary Clinton, Tiffany Trump and Jennifer Lopez, whose wedding-guest attire ran the gamut from caftans to ultra-sexy gowns. For your viewing pleasure, we’ve included highlights from the mother of all receptions, below.

Oh, and Hillary Clinton casually made an appearance with Real Housewives of New York star Dorinda Medley. Nice caftan, Hills!

The lovely newlyweds said their "I dos" under a traditional chuppah, with a chandelier of flowers decorating the ceiling. They took to the dance floor, then hopped in a vintage taxi that served as their getaway car.

Here's to our ever-expanding wedding checklist. Ugh.
