They even made a video to explain everything, above. The couple claims to have inaugurated "The World's First Start-up Wedding Registry" to fund their super-secret Web company Aboomba. Friends and family can "feed an outsourced engineer for a day" to make the couple rich, or maybe pay the utilities for a month, to make the couple rich or even buy some banner ads, which will also help make the couple rich. Delightful!

VentureBeat's Anthony Ha thinks this is great; when it comes to his own friends, he'll "be much more excited about supporting their business than I will about buying them a toaster." Not us. If we're not buying something for your kitchen, where you might hypothetically entertain us some day, we want equity.

Iglesias — whose private-performance fee is estimated at $1 million — was only the start of the bills for the wedding, held last weekend at the Marquis Cabo San Lucas hotel.

Kordestani's ex, Bita Daryabari, and her groom, vascular surgeon Reza Malek (pictured above, at a charity event in San Francisco), stayed in a $4,000/night presidential suite. Colin Cowie, the celebrity wedding planner who's seen Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Jennifer Lopez, and others to the altar, organized the nuptials. Some of the guests took chartered planes Daryabari and Malek paid for. A tequila party on the beach ended with fireworks; the last fusillade took the form of a heart. A chef was flown in from New York to cater the affair. Paparazzi, in town to lens Jennifer Aniston, stumbled across the event — which, in a way, only added to its gaudy glamour.

It is hard to imagine a worse time to throw an extravagant wedding. But Daryabari surely had other things on her mind.

What turned Daryabari, a telecom executive turned philanthropist, into a towering Bridezilla? Her husband, Kordestani, was Google's 12th employee and its first salesman. He struck a search-licensing deal with the now-forgotten Netscape, then an Internet powerhouse where he previously worked, that made Google viable. Google's IPO made Kordestani wealthy, and as Google's shares soared, his fortune grew into the billions of dollars.

But then Kordestani fell in love with a coworker, Gisel Hiscock (right, and yes, that's really her name, poor dear). A rumored reconciliation after the revelation of his affair never happened. The couple moved to London last summer. Somewhere along the line, Daryabari and Kordestani finalized their divorce.

Which, naturally, gave her a big chunk of Kordestani's Google fortune. And what better way to rub her ex-husband's face in her happiness than by spending his money, a million dollars at a time, on the most extravagant event imaginable? If it weren't a supremely arrogant Googler, the self-crowned king of the new advertising world, getting his comeuppance, we might say her wedding was in poor taste. But is there a sweeter taste than revenge?

Talk at the Googleplex has it that Bogue, a real-estate investment manager, flew to Paris to surprise Mayer with a marriage proposal. (Mayer was in France to speak at LeWeb, a tech conference frequented by tech-conference-goers.) Valleywag first heard about Bogue and Mayer's romance in January.

Is she marrying down? No question. Mayer was employee no. 20 at Google, and she once dated Google cofounder Larry Page. Her IPO riches alone make her Valley royalty. Bogue buys and manages apartments for rich people, a business he somewhat brazenly dubs "private equity." His business is called "Montara Capital Partners," which makes him sound like a venture capitalist. He is also a lawyer, sort of, which is definitely several rungs down Silicon Valley's social ladder. When he attends elite conferences like TED, he's there as Mayer's plus-one. But come on: Mayer found a single straight man in San Francisco. Her accomplishment is not to be discounted.

What we're dying to know: Which overexposed couturier will Mayer, who once paid $60,000 for a lunch with Oscar de la Renta, pick to design her wedding dress? We already know where she's getting the wedding cake: I Dream of Cake, a San Francisco "cake gallery" in which Mayer has personally invested. As for Bogue, if he's wearing anything other than a tux, the black-and-white uniform in which he squires Mayer to San Francisco society events, we'll be disappointed.

Well, a good source tells us so. But hard evidence backs up our tipster. Newsom's public schedule notes the normally mayor had no public events. San Francisco supervisor Sean Elsbernd filled in as acting mayor. And I got a somewhat exasperated spokeswoman in his office to confess, finally, that Newsom was out of the country over the weekend.

Last year, Newsom claimed that he isn't particularly close to Page or Brin. And here he is going to Page's wedding. A politician lying? Shocking.

That means Page's celebrity pals, reportedly including Bono, Johnny Depp, and Leonardo DiCaprio, must have gotten off the island in time.The Sydney Morning Herald confirms our reports. A receptionist at the Little Dix Bay resort told the Australian paper that all its guests were fine. Good thing they made a getaway: The foul weather we reported, dismissed by some, has turned into Subtropical Storm Olga.

The Page-Southworth wedding was scheduled after the traditional end of Caribbean hurricane season, but the increasingly warm seas which spawn storms did not respect that timing. Page has never met a process he doesn't believe he can improve. In Mother Nature, he may have just met his match. Caribbean weather is unpredictable. For a group of people who compulsively plan everything, the Googlers must be losing it.

Late this night, I got a confirmation that some people I knew had, indeed, traveled to Necker Island for Google cofounder Larry Page's hitching to the Stanford Ph.D. Okay, the wedding didn't happen Saturday — yet another error in Wikipedia. This much is for sure: The Clintons didn't show. As far as I know, the wedding took place today, assuming the celebrity guests weren't blown down by a gathering storm. I asked Google PR to verify that the company still has a president of products. No answer yet. Which is a problem, since losing Larry is a risk factor the company mentions in its annual report.

The other big nonstory of the weekend? Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's sale of exactly $0 million worth of stock. What was I, drunk? Yes. I was roundly and deservedly abused for airing the false rumor. This is what I get for working overtime? That's it, folks: From now on, I'm taking the "end" in "weekend" seriously.

Rough weather has so far served to hinder paparazzi on boats, but that lucky stroke may now be turning against Larry and Lucy. Since the festivities are going late into the evening tonight, the couple and their 600 celebrity guests — rumored to include Bono, Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, and as many as three U.S. presidents — may find themselves stuck on Necker, Gilligan's Island-style. Good thing Page required that their passports be up to date and valid well past the weekend.

Before you panic, know that there were no cold-footed billionaires, no runaway brides. It's just that the celebrity wedding, widely believed to have taken place yesterday, is actually taking place this afternoon. Hope that tent is solid, as the weather forecast calls for thunderstorms. More as we hear it.
