In the realm of celebrity weddings, extravagance is often the norm. But Carrie Underwood's 2010 wedding to hockey player Mike Fisher took opulence to a whole new level. The lavish affair, which cost a staggering $500,000, serves as a stark reminder of the stark economic disparities that exist in our society.
A Weekend of Opulence: The Details of a Dream Wedding
The wedding festivities took place at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton Reynolds Plantation in Georgia, a resort that was transformed into a fairytale setting for the weekend.
Every detail, from the custom “CM” motif rugs and room keys to the antique toile tablecloths and silver chargers, exuded elegance and grandeur.
The pre-wedding welcome party offered a taste of Southern hospitality with Georgia spiced pecans, strawberry shortcake, and fireworks. The wedding itself catered to both Underwood's vegetarian preferences and Fisher's meat-loving palate, with a menu that included butternut squash and herb-roasted filet mignon. The reception, bathed in hot pink lighting, featured a stunning wedding cake, complete with two round cakes and six tiers of cupcakes, crafted by Underwood's close friend and cake-baking extraordinaire, Ivey Childers.
