Irene Kogan, the granddaughter of Russian-Jewish oligarch Valery Kogan, married Daniel Kevey at the London's Landmark Hotel, where the best suites cost £1,450-a-night, on Saturday. Mariah Carey was reportedly paid £2.5million to fly over from the US and sing to the couple. She dedicated her classic ballad We Belong Together to them and even invited Irene to join her on the stage (pictured, main), the bride dancing with the singer on the stage at the star-studded ceremony. Sir Elton John (top right), who rarely performs for less than £1million, also did a 12-song set, dedicating Tiny Dancer the bride, who wept on her husband's shoulder. Other famous guests included actor Antonio Bande¬¬ras (bottom right), who gave a speech wishing the couple well, and producer Mark Ronson (top left), who did a DJ set to finish of the night. There were performances from numerous Russian stars who are little known in the UK but have sold millions of records in Russia. The happy couple were seen cutting a cake that stood at least ten foot off the ground (bottom left). The lavish ceremony is said to have been paid for by the bride's grandfather, Valery, who owns Moscow's biggest airport and has a vast property profile in Israel.
