Best of the blogs: The Shilpa Shetty wedding

Bollywood blogs are looking particularly glitzy the Monday morning after actress Shilpa Shetty got hitched -- we save you paparazzi trolling time, by listing the best of them
'Shilpa's Big Fat Indian Wedding' -- a post by popular Mumbai party blogger Miss Malini.

Shilpa Shetty's wedding to Raj Kundra was held at a private ceremony (which means out of bounds for media) at businesswoman Kiran Bawa's villa in Khandala, a hill station 100 kilometers from Mumbai, but the Bollywood blogs would not be left out.

1. Miss Malini: Mumbai party blogger Miss Malini writes a characteristically 360 degree scoop in her post, Shilpa Shetty’s Wedding 101, where she dishes out gossip on the groom's ex-wife, how much Hello magazine in the UK offered the couple for their pictures and a quote from Shilpa's bridal jewelery designer, Ishu Datwani of Anmol Jewellers who claimed, "She [Shilpa] will be covered from head to toe in uncut diamonds."

2. Naijagal: "This is my dream wedding. We plan to shuttle between Mumbai and London after marriage. I shall strive to be as successful at home as I am outside. I want to excel as a homemaker," reports Naijagal, quoting the 34-year-old bride. On her choice of millionaire London businessman Kundra, "We are used to a certain lifestyle and it's practical to choose a spouse who can at least match those luxuries, if not more."

3. High Heel Confidential: The DNA news website has details of each event outfit for the mehendi, sangeet and wedding for both bride and groom, but the best pictures are at High Heel Confidential.

4. Bollywood Mantra: The closest you can get at a Hindu wedding is to watch the couple circling the sacred fire seven times, which according to religious custom is the main rite of marriage. Bollywood Mantra, a rather non-descript Bollywood blog, has documented not only the actual ceremony but the entire event start to finish, in a minute-to-minute eight page image gallery of the big Shilpa Shetty wedding this weekend.
