With a billionaire heiress as the bride, an Olympic gold medallist for the groom and hordes of A-list guests, the wedding of Eve Jobs and Harry Charles was already set to be the society wedding of the year.
And now, MailOnline can reveal that Apple founder Steve Jobs' youngest daughter and her Team GB star fiancé will tie the knot at Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds on Saturday - the cherry on the cake for the fantastically star-studded ceremony.
The glamorous private members club is beloved by A-list celebrities - even hosting Meghan Markle 's hen do - as the place to go for private events for the social elite, all with the background of Britain's finest countryside.
Eve, 27, who once was named by society bible Tatler as one of its 'new generation of It Girls', and sportsman Harry, 26, got engaged last September and began dating in 2022, making their debut just a year ago at the Paris Olympic Games.
Their extravagant nuptials - rumoured to come at a hefty price tag of £5million - will take place over four days, starting on Wednesday - almost exactly one month after Eve jetted to the Italian isle of Capri for a glitzy hen do.
And on the guestlist, as revealed by The Sun, are a mixture of British sports stars, American politicians and even a sprinkling of royalty.
Former US Vice President Kamala Harris is tipped to be among the VIP guests, with Sir Elton John reportedly set to be performing - for a rumoured fee of £1million - and even Princess Beatrice expected to attend.
Eve's mother Laurene, left a widow following Jobs' passing in 2011 aged 56 from pancreatic cancer, is said to have gone 'all out' for the wedding with help from renowned society events planner Stanlee Gatti.
According to the newspaper, A-list parties are set to fly to Oxford airport on their private jets, where they will be met by helicopters to transport them to the venue.
Also making the VIP guestlist are Kamala's daughter Phoebe and Bill Gates's daughter Jennifer, according to the newspaper.
They will be joined by celebs including Arctic Monkeys star Matt Helders, Bruce Springsteen's daughter Jessica - an equestrian, Apple designer Jony Ive, Sofia Abramovich, daughter of ex-Chelsea owner Roman.
And it's not just Kamala set to make an impression from the politics scene in the US - as a source told the paper that 'a lot of important American political figures' will be present.
Sources close to the family previously said invites have gone out to figures from fashion, sport, and business, with speculation that Princess Beatrice and Jennifer Gates may be among the attendees.
Eve, a model and show jumper in her own right, has two older siblings and one half-sibling. Reed Jobs, 33, and Erin Jobs, 29, will likely be at the wedding. However it's currently not known if her half sibling Lisa Brennan-Jobs, 47, will attend.
Aside from her siblings, Eve has a plethora of high-profile friends descended from other tech billionaires, who will likely see her walk down the aisle.
She is also friends with Lilli Hymowitz, daughter of billionaire Gregg Hymowitz, the CEO and founder of investment firm EnTrust Global.
In 2023, Eve was spotted mingling amongst high society's wealthiest members at a gala in New York City, including Rupert Murdoch's ex-wife Wendi Deng, who she struck a pose with for photos, and Lili Buffett, the granddaughter of billionaire investor and philanthropist Warren Buffet.
Former US vice president Kamala Harris is also expected to attend the event thanks to her long-time friendship with Eve's mother and one of the richest people in the world, Laurene Powell Jobs.
Laurene and Kamala have been friends for more than 20 years, with the billionaire philanthropist backing Kamala's run for US presidency last year, which she eventually lost to President Donald Trump.
And while Eve is tech royalty, there may even be real royalty at her and Harry's wedding. According to Tatler, Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are expected to attend too.
On top of Eve's impressive connections, Harry has his own entourage who will surely bring the party. His father is Peter Charles, whose team won Britain's first team jumping gold medal for 60 years at the 2012 London Summer Olympics.
His Olympic teammates Scott Brash and Ben Maher may also attend, having claimed victory in team jumping together at the Paris Olympics.
Eve also frequently appears on front row seats at Paris Fashion Week, attended her first Met Gala in 2022, and is regularly seen at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party wearing designers such as Molly Goddard and vintage Donna Karan.
A source told The Sun: 'Eve and Harry's wedding is like a multi-million-pound fairytale.
'It's a society wedding like no other and it's turning rural Oxfordshire upside down.
'The sleepy village in which it's taking place feels like it's turning into a no-go zone, with secret service operatives and blokes who look like they work for the FBI.'
The ceremony will be held in the star-studded Cotswolds, where celebrities including the Beckhams have flocked in recent years.
The entire neighbouring village in Oxfordshire is expected to go on lockdown, with huge trucks already bringing supplies through the sleepy and picturesque villages.
Most recently Ellen DeGeneres has succumbed to the charm of the Cotswolds after leaving the US when Donald Trump was reelected as president.
Soho Farmhouse meanwhile has been described as a Butlins for toffs and attracts some of the most famous faces in Britain.
Much more than a country bolthole, the stylish location is set within 100 acres and features manmade lakes and Scandi-style cabins.
It has a festival feel in places - a playground for grown-ups filled with table tennis and pool, not to mention fire pits where people congregate wrapped in luxurious blankets.
To allow its clientele to relax, photos are not allowed - not even of the spectacular indoor-outdoor pool, which resembles a private lake.
There are surfboard yoga sessions in the swimming pool, a Japanese grill house serving seared raw fish salads and soft-shell crabs, a lifestyle shop that sells £290 boots and a bar that stays open until the last customer leaves - and on at least one occasion that person was Prince Harry.
The estate, complete with man-made lakes, stables and an ironically ironic crazy golf course, sits within the Cotswolds' golden triangle: a sought-after area between Chipping Norton, Burford and Stow that is home to the so-called Chipping Norton set of celebrities and politicians.
David and Samantha Cameron went to the Farmhouse opening party in 2015, drinking cocktails and dancing around the fire pits to crooner Paolo Nutini.
Eve and Harry meanwhile were first spotted in public together at last year's Olympic Games in Paris - where Harry bagged a gold medal in team jumping.
The pair have kept their relationship largely private, but their shared love for equestrian sports is likely what brought them together.
Eve, whose mother is the philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, is a rising star in both equestrian sport and fashion.
She has appeared in campaigns for Louis Vuitton and posed for Vogue while maintaining a competitive showjumping career.
Harry, son of former Olympic showjumper Peter Charles, has represented Great Britain internationally and is currently one of the sport's top-ranked athletes.
The couple share a passion for horses and are frequently seen supporting each other at events.
Eve, a self-described 'horse girl', started riding when she was just six years old and had made some considerable achievements, including winning a bronze medal in the team event at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru.
She was front and centre to watch Harry win his gold medal last year and shared a loving post on Instagram with the caption: 'TEAM GOLD!!!!!! Beyond proud of you my love!!!!'
She made her modelling debut in a 2020 holiday campaign for makeup brand Glossier alongside Sydney Sweeney and Naomi Smalls. Eve is signed to DNA Model Management, who also represents Kaia Gerber and Emily Ratajkowski.
Eve also frequently appears on front row seats at Paris Fashion Week, attended her first Met Gala in 2022, and is regularly seen at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party wearing designers such as Molly Goddard and vintage Donna Karan.
She may even go in another direction entirely and pay tribute to her late father, who died in 2011 when she was just 12 years old, and wear something from his favourite designer, Issey Miyake.
The iconic Japanese designer, who died in 2022 at the age of 84, was behind Steve's iconic black turtleneck uniform that 'helped make him the world's most recognisable CEO', according to Gawker.
However, neither Eve nor Harry have divulged any details on what their wedding looks will entail at the time of reporting.
Eve was previously linked to Mexican show jumper and University of Miami business student Eugenio Garza Pérez, according to the Latin Times.
There were also rumors that she dated singer Harry Hudson, Chainsmokers member Drew Taggart, and Outer Banks star Chase Stokes.
Steve Jobs died in 2011 from pancreatic cancer, and according to his official biographer, Walter Isaacson, Jobs didn't doubt that it would be his youngest daughter who would run Apple in the future.
In his biography about Steve, writer Walter Isaacson described the youngest Jobs as a 'strong-willed, funny firecracker.'
He said that as a child, Eve would often call up her father's assistant and make her clear out his calendar so that they could spend one-on-one father-daughter time together.
The family grew up in a 'low-key Tudor-style house on a prosperous street' in Palo Alto, California, according to U2 front man Bono.
He wrote in his memoir that the abode had a 'cottage garden full of wildflowers and stuff you could eat, with a gate opening yards from a front door he never locked.'
The LA Times reported that the 5,768-square-foot seven-bedroom home was built in the 1930s and looked like it was 'plucked from an English village.'
It's been said that the billionaire Apple founder did his best to give his children a normal upbringing, despite his immense wealth.
The outlet reported that he had 'no live-in help, no security guards, no drivers.'
He also once revealed that he limited his kids' technology use - even though he created one of the most successful tech companies on the planet.
He told the New York Times when a reporter asked if his kids 'loved' the new iPad, 'They haven't used it. We limit how much technology our kids use at home.'
Steve passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2011, when Eve was 12, and was worth an estimated $10.5billion at the time of his death.
But Eve and her siblings won't get any of his money, as he left his immense wealth to wife Laurene who revealed in 2020 that she has no plans to give any of it to their kids.
She told the New York Times that her husband made it clear before his death that he didn't want to pass his earnings down to their kids because he wanted them to work for their own money.
'I inherited my wealth from my husband, who didn't care about the accumulation of wealth,' she said.
'I'm not interested in legacy wealth building, and my children know that... Steve wasn't interested in that. If I live long enough, it ends with me.'
Like both of her parents, Eve graduated from Stanford University in 2021, where she majored in science, technology, and society.
She then made her runway debut at Paris Fashion Week while walking in the Coperni show that September.
'I never foresaw modeling, and on a whim, I was like, "Why not?" It drew upon things I knew, igniting the part of me that competing always did,' she previously told Vanity Fair.
She was signed to DNA Model Management in March 2022 - the same agency that looks after Cindy Crawford's daughter Kaia Gerber, Dutch model and actress Doutzen Kroes and Girl star Emily Ratajkowski.
Besides her modeling career, Eve is also an experienced equestrian and was named Show Jumping Hall of Fame 'Rider of the Month' in March 2017.
She has competed in show jumping competitions all around the globe, including events in the Hamptons, Lexington, Kentucky, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and was ranked as the fifth best rider under 25 in the world by Horse Sports in 2019.
Despite posting infrequently, Eve has 408,000 followers on Instagram.
Last month, as she jetted off to Capri for her hen do, Eve wore a sparkling white mini dress and veil as she joined a group of girlfriends for the sun-soaked weekend, which included yacht trips, late-night parties, and poolside lounging at a private villa overlooking the sea.
In one photo posted to her Instagram account, Eve is seen sitting in a pink-seated buggy with a wide smile as she revels in her pre-wedding antics.
'What a weekend with my favorite girls,' she captioned the post.
Among those who liked the photos were Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, and Olympic skier Eileen Gu - who are expected to make her esteemed wedding guest list.
Guests included a mix of friends from the fashion and equestrian worlds, many of whom appeared in coordinated outfits for both daytime antics and evening celebrations.
One image shows the group walking down the steps of a local ristorante, dressed in relaxed resortwear.
Another showed them strutting through the cobbled streets of Capri at night, with Eve leading the way in her veil and glittering white dress.
The party gathered by the Tyrrhenian Sea at sunset, where Eve posed for photos with a group of close friends, including one shot of her wrapped in the arms of Eden Mack, a creative development assistant at Apple TV+, against a backdrop of dark blue sea and cliffs.
At the villa, decorative touches included pink inflatable pool loungers and a floating silver sign reading 'BRIDE' tied with string.
