Parker, 33, had been rumoured3 to be planning a themed event, based on the television series Game of Thrones, for his wedding to Alexandra Lenas.
 
However, before the ceremony he said: "Sorry to disappoint, but the wardrobe we're giving guests is essentially4 modern. No swords or chain mail. This is not a 'theme' wedding."
 
The scene did reportedly resemble a Hollywood set with landscapers spending weeks building fake waterfalls, ruins and backdrops, and a $600,000 stone gate.
 
According to People magazine a temporary dance floor reportedly cost $350,000, and the bill for flowers and plants came to $1 million.
 
The couple's infant daughter Winter Victoria and the guests were dressed by Oscar-winning costume designer Ngila Dickson, known for her work on The Lord of the Rings films.
 
Parker's representative described it as a "romantic, magical setting," Forbes has estimated the wealth of Parker, who also co-founded music sharing site Napster in 1999, at $2 billion.
 
He was portrayed5 by Justin Timberlake in the 2010 movie "The Social Network".
