Napster co-founder Sean Parker getting married in lavish $10 million event

Napster co-founder Sean Parker is getting married to his longtime girlfriend, Alexandra Lenas. He’s sparing no expense for the party, spending a reported $10 million to make his wedding look more like a movie set for Lord of the Rings.

The San Jose Mercury News reports that Parker and Lenas will wed today in Big Sur, California. The Ventana Inn & Spa, where 300 people will see Parker and the singer-songwriter get married, will be outfitted with fake ruins and waterfalls. He hired Oscar-winning Lord of the Rings costume designer Ngila Dickson to make clothes just for today.

“Just because we don't trust our guests to dress themselves properly doesn't mean we want them to look like (Game of Thrones) characters,” Parker told the Mercury News. Dickson “is creating gorgeous, inspiring, and unique designs that are both modern and whimsical. ... There will be nothing medieval about it.”

According to The Inquisitr, Stan Russell, who heads the Big Sur chamber of commerce, commented, “We’re pretty used to celebrities being in Big Sur … But for this one, they’ve basically built a movie set to have their wedding.”

While Russell isn’t too excited about Parker’s plans, he said that it will definitely help the local economy. “The wedding planners in Big Sur are planning ahead for 2014 already, because they’re booked … People want to come and see what all of the excitement’s about.”

Parker, who was played by Justin Timberlake in The Social Network, is estimated to be worth $2 billion by Forbes. He was the first president of Facebook and is currently working with Spotify.
