Billionaire Getty marries in Rome – and check out the dress

 Billionaire heir Joseph Getty has tied the knot with his girlfriend Sabine Ghanem, but eyebrows were raised by some of the outfits worn by guests - and even the bride.

Princess Beatrice arrived at the wedding in Rome in a pastel pink dress, but just as it did at the Royal Wedding in 2011, her stylish hat was the most striking part of her ensemble.

However her headgear was nothing on the wedding dress of Miss Ghanem - now Mrs Getty - which was completed by unusual golden symbols of the sun on her back and front.

On a sweltering day in Rome, the Lebanese-Egyptian bride's white gown - which came with long trail carried by other members of the wedding party - even had a hood.

Guests also turned up in outlandish attire, with one coming in a loose, rainbow-patterned shirt and trousers and wedding-goer Ginevra Elkann - a French director - turning up in a spotty brown dress.

The happy couple married at the Basilica of the Twelve Apostle's in the Italian capital, with Miss Ghanem arriving in a dress designed by Marc Jacobs.

Other than Princess Beatrice, guests included socialites Pierre Casiraghi and fiancee Beatrice Borromeo, Miss Elkann and Bianca Brandolini D'Adda.

Mr Getty, 26, is the son of Mark Getty - the British businessman who owns picture agency Getty Images - and the grandson of philanthropist Sir John Paul Getty.

The Getty dynasty was started by J. Paul Getty, Joseph's great-grandfather, who became the richest man in the world thanks to the Getty Oil Company and went on to set up a number of acclaimed art institutions, despite being a notorious miser.

But the super-rich family has been touched by tragedy, most recently when Andrew Getty - son of John Paul's brother Gordon - died after years of drug-taking and hard partying.

He was found unconscious in his mansion, naked from the waste down and suffering from a brutal injury to his 'rectal area', according to the authorities.

Sir John Paul Getty, who died in 2003, was an Anglophile who became a British citizen and built a replica of The Oval cricket ground at his country estate in Buckinghamshire, Wormsley Park.

But he also suffered family tragedy as his second wife Talitha died of a heroin overdose, and his son John Paul Getty III was kidnapped in Rome.

The family thought that John Paul III was faking his own kidnapping until his ear was cut off and sent to them. He was left paralysed after a drug overdose led to a stroke, and he died four years ago at the age of 54.
