Sydney billionaire James Packer made the gorgeous “gal from Gunnedah”, Erica Baxter, his bride in a dazzling ceremony on the French Riviera last week.
Last Wednesday morning the couple exchanged vows in an intimate civil ceremony at the Antibes Hotel de Ville (town hall) in the company of a small group of family and friends, including James’s mother Ros Packer, his sister Gretel and his best friend and best man David Gyngell.
Celebrities, sports stars and business leaders had jetted in from around the world to seaside Antibes, to witness the wedding between the model-turned-singer and Australia’s richest man.
With the finest champagne and delicacies, flowers flown in from Holland, and singer Michael Bublé performing for guests, James excelled himself in his quest to give Erica a fairytale wedding. Guests partied well into the night, with the music still echoing across the water just before midnight.
One onlooker, who watched Erica and James in the days before the wedding, says, “They looked so happy and so in love, kissing and holding hands. She was gorgeous, he was smiling like a Cheshire cat, besotted…”
