Marriage is one of the sacred moments in a person's life. It's not surprising that some people celebrate or hold their wedding moments with great fanfare so that they can be remembered forever.
It's the same with the crazy rich, aka the rich people of the world. The luxurious wedding events they hold often attract public attention and go viral on social media. A recent example is a crazy rich family from China who spent up to 30 million USD or the equivalent of IDR 470 million trillion!
The Ye family's wedding took place in Putian, Fujian province, southeastern China in early February, reported by the South China Morning Post page from toutiao.com. The luxurious celebration was held in the ballroom of the magnificent marble house belonging to the groom's family.
Wooden dragon and phoenix decorations hung from the ballroom ceiling, adding to the luxurious feel of the wedding. There are also small bridges and pavilions in traditional Chinese style, along with red lanterns, decorating the wedding venue.
The bride and groom's family even drained their large fish pond a year before so it could be used as a location to set up a stage for their luxurious wedding.

A board on the stage displayed the names of the groom, Ye Dingfeng, and the bride, Yang Hanying.
The groom is believed to be the son of Ye Guochun, chairman of China's leading gold jewelery retailer Lao Feng Xiang. Meanwhile, Yang Hanying is the daughter of a manager who works for the brand in the northern province.
The Crazy Rich wedding in Fujian comes as authorities across the country call on the public to boycott the lavish event.
Many local governments are encouraging savings and holding group weddings for dozens or even hundreds of couples.
