In March 2007, British model and actress Elizabeth Hurley married Indian businessman Arun Nayyar at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur.

Interestingly, the couple held their pre-wedding ceremonies at different palaces. While their sangeet took place at the Nagaur Fort, the lavish reception was hosted at the Mehrangarh Fort.

Before their big fat Indian wedding which lasted for eight days, the couple exchanged their vows at the Sudeley Castle in England.

The duo, however, went their separate ways in 2010.
