Many girls across the world will be disappointed to hear that one of the world’s richest and most eligible bachelors, Google’s co-founder Larry Page, is marrying his girlfriend Lucy Southworth on a private island in the Caribbean. Larry Page, who is the joint fifth-richest man in the United States, has an estimated fortune of $18.5bn (£9bn). It is rumoured that he has invited over 600 guests to the wedding. The private 74-acre paradise is called Necker Island, and is owned by Sir Richard Branson who is also Page’s best man for the wedding.

The couple are said to have been dating for around a year, and it is not known whether or not they are signing a prenuptial agreement. Though Lucy and Larry themselves have not confirmed the event to the media, it is certain that the wedding will be taking place. The 600 guests were told that they only required a valid passport for the weekend as private planes would be provided to take them to the island. Over the past 6 months wedding planners have booked up all the hotels on the neighbouring island of Virgin Gorda in order to ensure there will be enough room for all the guests. As one source has said:

“They rented all of Virgin Gorda. They took over the island.”

Though much of the guest-list is kept a secret, it does contain such high-profile figures as Bill and Hillary Clinton, and other celebrities such as U2 singer Bono.
