Although probably not as famous as the British couple Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton, Shaikh Fahad bin Nasser bin Sabah Al Ahmad and Fay bint Loay bin Jassim Al Kharafi made headlines for their extravagant wedding, described on social media as a “mythical affair”.
The grand venue for the wedding was decorated mostly in white but various jewels and sparkly things could be seen all around. But what caught the media’s attention are the exquisite wedding favors featuring a carved replica of the bride and groom standing on a small box. Inside this seemingly simple box is a lovely case holding a diamond ring!
The guests of this wedding are surely lucky to have been invited! Not just because they got to mingle with elite Arab stars and the Kuwait’s most powerful people, they also received something grand to match the grand wedding they were attending.

Of course, these wedding guests probably spent thousands on the gifts they gave the couple, too, as the upper-class audience did comprise of some of the country’s richest and most famous people. Still, it continues to amaze us how generous the couple was to their wedding guests. I’m not sure whether another couple could to this royal couple’s wedding favors in terms of price and grandeur.
