British Heiress Petra Ecclestone Wedding Pics

Kim Kardashian‘s wedding to Kris Humphries took place last week and all the planning and scheming by Kim still made the wedding a big ho hum. The wedding was clearly all about how much money she could make from it!

She sold the pictures, the videos, got paid for her engagement party, she sold everything she could. In direct contrast today Formula 1 heiress Petra Ecclestone married her fiancé James Stunt in a fairy tale wedding.

Formula 1 heiress Petra Ecclestone tied the knot in Rome tonight, and the festivities were in full swing earlier at the big pre-party. The bride-to-be wore a gorgeous white gown to the dinner party at Villa Aurelia, and guests like Paris Hilton and family also looked ravishing.

The 22-year-old F1 heiress looked stunning as she was driven to the wedding in a white Rolls Royce, with her father Bernie sitting with her in the back. The pair married in a lavish ceremony at the 15th century Odescalchi castle in Bracciano, outside Rome, where Tom Cruise wed Katie Holmes in 2006.

Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie stepped out of Rome's Hassler Hotel earlier today accompanied by their mother, Fergie, en route to Petra Ecclestone's sunset wedding ceremony. And after the nuptials were over the family celebrated the wedding by lighting up the night sky with a lavish firework display.

Crowds gathered outside the castle to watch the magnificent display light up the dark sky and the show was nothing short of spectacular. Eric Clapton and the Black Eyed Peas performed for guests including the Hilton sisters at the wedding reception, which also featured fireworks and an acrobatics show. Their engagement party in London in May included a performance by Rihanna.
