Yes, this dream will soon become a reality. As the City of the Future; Dubai, which intends to surprise, impress, and bewilder with its novel ideas and incredible ultra-modern constructions will now soon be adding anostentatious building, the $1 billion Taj Arabia or the Crown of Arabia to itsskyline. In Dubai’s Falcon City of Wonders, a wondrous and luxurious concept will come alive; the ‘Taj Arabia’, which is the breathtaking replica of the original Taj Mahal and yet four times larger and embedded in an exquisitely landscaped estate, will become a symbol of love and destination for world’s most expensive weddings.

The 6-foot cake was especially flown to Ireland for the wedding and is beleived to be the most expensive cake to ever grace an Irish wedding table.
