Summary: Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant held their second pre-wedding celebration in Europe aboard a luxurious ship.

Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani met during their college years, and their friendship blossomed into love. They are now planning to tie the knot in July 2024. Before their grand wedding, the couple celebrated with a four-day cruise in the Mediterranean Sea, and photos from the pre-wedding celebration have become widely popular. Radhika's outfit on the first day received a lot of positive attention.

The Ambani-Merchant family hosted a brunch for the guests as the cruise began in Palermo, Sicily. The night featured a performance by the Backstreet Boys and had a starry night theme with a formal dress code. However, the bride-to-be, Radhika, made an effort to stand out from the crowd and let her beauty speak for itself. Designer Robert Wun designed the gown for the bride-to-be.

Radhika Merchant looked stunning in a couture gown at her second pre-wedding dinner in Europe. The gown was extra special as it was printed with a love letter written by her fiancé, Anant Ambani, when she was just 22 years old.

"He wrote me this long letter for my birthday about how important I am to him," Merchant told Vogue. “I wanted to keep it for posterity; I want to be able to show it to my kids and grandkids and say, 'this is what our love was.'"

Radhika Merchant talked for the first time about her second pre-wedding celebrations, highlighted by performances from Katy Perry, David Guetta, the Backstreet Boys, and Andrea Bocelli.

Radhika picked out a custom blue Versace outfit to match the color of the Cote d'Azur. Lorraine Schwartz added to her look by using a rare blue opal encircled by diamonds. The necklace is significant because Radhika's birthstone is a blue opal, and the groom's is diamonds. When asked about the style, Radhika told Vogue that she wanted to feel romantic and youthful. She said, "I wanted it to just be romantic and young."
