Poker Man Needs Huge Win To Cover Cost Of Wedding
Of course we would all love to be able to hold a lavish wedding day, as for most of us it is going to be a stunning day to remember for the rest of our lives, but really can anybody justify spending 3 million Dollars on a Wedding? It certainly is making an event something extra special. A wedding that was held in December has now been confirmed as the most expensive ever wedding to be held in Australia.
Dr Geoffrey Edelstein and Brynne Gordon decided to tie the knot at the Crown Casino in Australia, which is well renowned for being the ONLY place to hold a party. With a price tag set at around 3 million Dollars, it was certainly a wedding day fit for a king. There were approximately 550 wedding guests and these included some of the greatest names around in football, the movies and tv and maybe even a few online poker players. The wedding was kindly hosted by the well known actress Fran Dreisher and actor Jason Alexander.
Crown Casino is set on the south side of the Yarra River in beautiful Melbourne. Approximately 16 million guests are known to visit the casino every year, making this the biggest casino in Australia. The casino opened in 1994 and has been famed from the start of its existence when Rachel Griffiths streaked through the casino on opening night!
The bride may have looked a bit baffled with the many faces that she didn’t know in the guest crowd, she told reporters that she only actually knew about twenty of the guests! The groom is the former owner of an AFL team, a doctor and one of the richest men in Australia. The groom at 40 years older than his bride to be was understandably pleased as she walked down the aisle in a stunning ivory wedding gown with diamond jewellery set at a price tag of over half a million dollars. The Crown Casino has held its fair share of public events and has a reputation for making dreams come true, but this coming weekend will stand out as one of the most expensive and grandiose marital ceremonies in Australia.
Let’s hope that the groom, if he’s a poker player gets Rakeback from his online game. It looks like he has a mountain to climb to keep his wife in her expensive jewellery, so perhaps he could try Everest Poker or maybe try his hand at Party Poker.To keep his new wife happy, I should think he will be needing quite a lot of cash, so best he plays as many games as possible!
