Introducing Mr & Mrs Packer!

Who would of thought after many years together and a rumoured split last year, Erica Baxter & James Packer have now tied the knot. Not once.....but twice on the French Riviera.

The couple first married in a small civil ceremony, witnessed by a few close family and friends. Erica was wearing a white jacket and knee-length skirt while carrying a white bouquet and Mr Packer wore a dark suit (pictured left). Later, a second wedding ceremony took place, attended by celebrity guests including Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

These two ceremonies concluded three days of pre-wedding celebration which included a private waterfront bash. Guests were ferried to a secluded beach in luxury Mangusta cruisers carrying canvas beach bags with a pair of sea-horses kissing emblazoned on the side, and packed with towels and parasols.

Now, not everyone can afford such a lavish, celebrity-studded wedding in the French Riviera, but multiple ceremonies are a growing trend. Some couples have multiple ceremonies due to different religions, others because of the large distance between families round the world. Recently, I was speaking to someone who had a ceremony with a guest list of four, so that legally she could stay in Australia until they had time to plan their 'proper' formal wedding (not even their family knew). I would love to hear about your stories. Why did you have multiple ceremonies and where did you have them?
