Yes, the wedding is in July but from May 28 to 30, their second before-wedding bash will be held on a luxury cruise heading from Italy to the South of France.

If you are wondering...
Half the parties and destinations on their itinerary might sound Greek to the 'aam aadmi,' but for those interested, here's what they are. A masquerade party is one in which attendees wear masks and elaborate costumes.
Portofino in Italy is a scenic harbour. It's a celebrity hotspot, thanks to all things luxurious it offers. As for the toga, it's a garment that you might have seen in books or movies that have anything to do with Roman culture. It's draped over the body leaving one arm free, but covering the other. At Ambani's toga party, celebs get to wear the attire that's an iconic symbol of ancient Rome.
