Napster Co-Founder's Big Sur Wedding Expected To Be A Lavish Affair

BIG SUR (CBS/AP) -- Excitement is brewing over Napster co-founder and early Facebook adviser Sean Parker's lavish wedding plans in Big Sur.

Parker will wed singer-songwriter Alexandra Lenas Saturday at the Ventana Inn & Spa.

The couple is expected to exchange vows in front of 300 guests. The guest list is top secret.

Stan Russell with the Big Sur Chamber of Commerce says Parker is building the equivalent of a movie set for the wedding.

Parker has reportedly spent more than $10 million on a lavish bash that includes fake ruins, waterfalls and outfits by the costume designer for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

In series of tweets, Parker denied that the hiring of Oscar winner Ngila Dickson, who created costumes for TV's "Xena: Warrior Princess." means guests will be sporting swords and chain mail.

Forbes estimates the 33-year-old Parker's net worth at $2 billion.
