The union is officiated by a Christian minister and friend of Perry’s family. The two celebrities date for four months before deciding to tie the knot. They throw a Bollywood-themed party for their guests on the night before the wedding. On their first meeting at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards where Perry threw a plastic water bottle at his head:

Got you on the head, huh? Kind of an easy target, it’s big and you’ve got that ridiculous hair.

You’ll think it frivolous of me to say I knew I’d marry her on that first date. The truth is I fell in love with her when she hit me with that bottle. She chose me, bottled me and cuffed me. And now this is my life, my girl, this beautiful woman.
