Omer Adam Flies Guests to Lavish Wedding in Italy with Strict Etiquette Rules
Israeli singer Omer Adam and his fiancée Sasha Israelovitch are set to marry in a grand ceremony in Portofino, Italy, drawing nationwide attention. On Tuesday, guests boarded a special flight to Genoa featuring a DJ and free alcohol, accompanied by a humorous recorded message from Omer's father, Yaniv Adam. In the message, Yaniv jokingly warned guests to behave politely, fasten seatbelts, and drink alcohol only in the rear of the plane, emphasizing the presence of aristocratic European family members unfamiliar with their behavior.
The wedding celebrations begin with a festive reception on Tuesday evening, followed by the main event on Wednesday at a historic 14th-century monastery turned prestigious venue. The estimated rental cost for the location is around 30,000 euros per night, with additional hourly charges. The festivities will conclude late Wednesday night, with most guests returning to Israel on Thursday; only a select few will stay for the traditional post-wedding celebrations.
Guests were instructed to adhere to a strict dress code: the reception calls for colorful, festive attire, while the wedding day requires men to wear suits and women to wear evening dresses, explicitly excluding black. The wedding, originally planned for Thursday, was moved up to Wednesday, underscoring the couple's meticulous planning for this high-profile event.
