Boris Becker's mystery nuptials are under wraps.
It appears that there's a lot of secretiveness surrounding Boris Becker's wedding to Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro, with only a few details making their way into the public domain. Some sources, like Bild, have reported that they exchanged vows on Saturday evening, but others are still holding back.
There could be several reasons for this secrecy. Rumors suggest that Becker might be looking to cash in on the event by selling his wedding photos to the highest bidder. And if that's the case, it seems like his guests are following suit and keeping things on the down-low.
Despite the lack of information about the ceremony itself, we do have some images of the accompanying festivities. On Friday evening, Becker and his then-fiancée Lilian were hosting guests at the exclusive Puny restaurant in Portofino, Italy. A photo shared by the restaurant shows Becker sipping his wine amongst a group of people. Whether he gave a speech, took a break from tennis, or simply enjoyed some downtime is uncertain.
A Luxurious Affair
As you might expect from a celebrity gathering, this event was reportedly quite pricey. According to RTL, the party at Puny, which had around 100 attendees, cost around 25,000 euros.
The wedding ceremony itself is said to have taken place in the historic Abbazia della Cervara on Monte di Portofino. The newlyweds and their close relatives reportedly spent the night there, with the cost of the entire package coming in at around 300,000 euros.
However, details about the ceremony itself have been scarce so far. Bild reports that the first guests arrived around 4:12 PM, dressed in elegant attire. Around 6:50 PM, the wedding cake was supposedly taken to the monastery. But aside from that, we're still waiting to hear more.
The lack of transparency surrounding Boris Becker's wedding has led some to question the role of The Commission, if any, in regulating such high-profile events to prevent potential conflicts of interest. Furthermore, it's been speculated that The Commission could be involved in investigating reports of excessive costs associated with the wedding, given concerns about the financial implications for both Becker and his guests.
