A $30 Million Wedding Fit For A Prince

Prince William's wedding is expected to rank among the most expensive of modern times.

Prince William and fiancee Kate Middleton will reportedly take a more low-key approach to their big day, opting to arrive in a car rather than the traditional horse-drawn carriage. Despite the nod to more austere times, the estimates are still staggering. Reports suggest the wedding could top $30 million.

These are the A-list blowouts it will be judged against.
