<p>A 26-year-old heiress to a South Florida car dealership fortune has set the internet ablaze with the sheer opulence of her five-day wedding in Paris. The wedding of Madelaine Brockway and her long-time beau Jacob LaGrone is being dubbed as the "wedding of the century".</p>

<p>The celebration included an intimate Maroon 5 concert and an overnight stay at the iconic Palace of Versailles. The opulent flamboyance appeared to dwarf down the great Indian weddings of the century.

<h2><strong>About the wedding festivities</strong></h2>

<p>The festivities kicked off with a bachelorette week at the luxurious Amangiri resort in Canyon Point, Utah, followed by a jet-setting trip to Paris. The couple enjoyed a private tour of the Palace of Versailles and lodged at the prestigious Le Grand Contrôle hotel within the Palace, where rooms range from $2,400 to $14,200 per night.</p>

<p>The grandeur continued with a rehearsal dinner at the Paris Opera House, adorned with hundreds of flowers for the special occasion. While the exact location of the wedding remains undisclosed, glimpses from guest-shared videos suggest an outdoor garden setting with panoramic views of the Eiffel Tower.</p>
