Bilt Rewards CEO Ankur Jain married former WWE wrestler and creator of KNOCKOUT Erika Hammond in Egypt over the weekend, treating guests to a four-day celebration that culminated in a ceremony and reception at the base of the Great Pyramids of Giza.

“We're not traditional wedding people,” says Jain. “Why do you have to spend $20,000 on flowers? It doesn’t make sense. And none of that should matter when you're getting an opportunity to sit and have dinner at the base of the pyramids!”
