Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani's daughter Isha's engagement to Piramal Group chief Ajay Piramal's son Anand has been the talk of the country.
The two business families and their friends are celebrating the engagement over three days in Lake Como. While this is quite a contrast from Isha Ambani's twin brother Akash's recent star-studded engagement that took place in Mumbai, Lake Como has for long been a celebrity favourite.
Earlier rumours had even pointed to actors Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh considering it as a possible wedding venue.
While India seems to be falling in love with the serene setting at the foothills of the Alps in northern Italy only now, it has always been a magnet for Hollywood celebrities.

But the venue isn't just a popular holiday spot. Dreamy weddings in Italy are a Hollywood ritual. And the glamorous Lake Como is definitely a favourite.
