Ex-WWE star Erika Hammond marries tech mogul Ankur Jain in epic Egyptian wedding after secret $2,000-a-night escape
EX-WWE wrestler Erika Hammond married billionaire tech mogul Ankur Jain in a lavish week-long wedding celebration.
Erika, 32, and Jain, 33, met when the entrepreneur started working out at Rumble Boxing celeb-loved gym which his now wife founded and was also a fitness instructor at the time.
And the couple spared no expenses to celebrate their nuptials, which started with them going out on a three-day safari trip in South Africa that cost a whopping $2,000 (£1,600) per night.
According to The Mail, the pair then flew to Egypt via private jet and put together a four-day itinerary for their 130 guests.
It all kicked off with a late night launch to the festivities on April 24 with a “Modern Cairo” themed welcome reception at the Muhammed Ali Palace.
The couple then arranged for a fully private tour of the Pyramids and the Sphinx followed by an Ancient-Egypt x Met Gala themed dinner at the Grand Egyptian Museum, which hasn’t opened yet.
The wedding followed the day after by the Sphinx and the Great Pyramids of Giza shortly before sunset.
A luxurious reception followed with some top-tier entertainment, which included a performance from violinist Lindsey Sterling and singer Robin Thicke, as well as fireworks.
Jain, the founder and CEO of Bilt Rewards which is a loyalty company that rewards consumers on rent payments and neighborhood spend, told PEOPLE: “Surprisingly, I’m feeling alive after partying all night.
“Last night it was almost hard to really internalise everything. It was even crazier than we imagined.
“We had the best time. It was so special.
“When the fireworks went off, it was one of the most spectacular moments. I was so emotional, I couldn’t even put it into words.”
Erika, who shared a raft of photos and stories on her Instagram, added: “I literally am speechless. Looking at the photos, I was living my best life.
“I became a popstar onstage last night. It was the most incredible night of my life.”
