Ankur, Erika, and their guests spent their days exploring the reserve, while their evenings were spent partying with live music, delicious-looking food, and of course, tons of alcohol.

They then rented out an entire plane to fly to Egypt, where they threw another extravagant bash at the historic and stunning Mohamed Ali Palace.

Erika made sure to document the entire endeavor through a series of videos shared on her Instagram - and many people on the web were stunned over the immense lengths that they have already gone to for their nuptials.

One video showed the group flying to Sabi Sand in South Africa via private plane, and being transported to the Sangita Safari Lodge.

'Singita’s award-winning luxury African wildlife safari lodges and camps offer remote locations, complete privacy and intuitive service at every turn,' reads a description of the glamorous hotel. 

Rooms start at roughly $2,000 per night per person but can reach as high as $26,600 per person per night for the top villas.

That means if they had the cheapest rooms, with their 68 guests for three nights, the entire stay will have cost upwards of $408,000. 

Upon arriving at the hotel, they were greeted with welcome drinks, and Erika could hardly contain her excitement.

She completed the look with a set of large, white pearl necklaces and matching earrings; her brown locks were left in loose waves around her face. 

During the party, Ankur - dressed in an off-white suit, gave a speech to his guests, thanking them for leaving the 'online world' behind to reside in the 'middle of the bush.'

'It means the world that you'd fly out here, that you'd actually take that time,' he said as Erika adoringly looked at him. 'We're truly blessed.'

The group ate, drank, and danced the night away as a DJ played tunes for them.

The next evening, they all flew to Egypt, and Erika and Ankur booked an entire plane for the group to ensure they had it all to themselves.

Unfortunately, a slew of delays caused them to almost miss the party they had planned for that night - but they still made the most of it.

Everyone got ready during the flight, and they even had a fashion show, walking down the aisle of their plane to show off their looks.

They finally arrived at the party at 2:30 in the morning, and celebrated into the wee hours of the morning.

For this bash, which took place at the Mohamed Ali Palace right on the Nile, they had a red carpet leading up to the entrance.
