Erika Hammond ties knot with tech tycoon Ankur Jain in grand Egyptian ceremony after $2,000 covert luxury getaway
Erika Hammond, a former WWE wrestler, wed billionaire Ankur Jain in an opulent ceremony that lasted for a week.
Erika, 32, and Jain, 33, got to know each other after the businessman began working out at the celebrity-owned gym Rumble Boxing, which his current wife created and where she also worked as a fitness teacher.
The pair went all out to celebrate their marriage, spending a whooping $2,000 (£1,600) per night on a three-day safari excursion in South Africa to kick things off.

The Mail claims that after that, the couple used a private aircraft to travel to Egypt, where they planned a four-day schedule for their 130 guests.
Everything began on April 24 during a late-night welcoming reception at the Muhammed Ali Palace with a theme of “Modern Cairo.”
The pair then planned a completely private tour of the Pyramids and the Sphinx, which was followed by a supper at the Grand Egyptian Museum—which hasn’t opened yet—with a theme inspired by Ancient Egypt and the Met Gala.

The Sphinx and the Great Pyramids of Giza were the next stop on the itinerary the day following the wedding, just before dusk.
After an opulent celebration, there were fireworks and world-class entertainment, such as violinist Lindsey Sterling and singer Robin Thicke performing.
According to Jain, the creator, and CEO of Bilt Rewards, a loyalty program that pays customers based on their expenditures in the neighborhood and on their rent, PEOPLE: “Surprisingly, I’m feeling alive after partying all night.

“Last night it was almost hard to really internalise everything. It was even crazier than we imagined.
“We had the best time. It was so special.
“When the fireworks went off, it was one of the most spectacular moments. I was so emotional, I couldn’t even put it into words.”
