A society couple is preparing to tie the knot surrounded by Sydney’s social set in a lavish three-day wedding in France.
Alexander Porter – whose family owns Australia’s leading condom brand Four Seasons – has kicked off pre-wedding celebrations with partner Chris Ledlin in Villefranche-sur-Mer, a French coastal resort town located 20 minutes from Nice.
Like his brother Michael Porter, who married longtime partner Billy Mitchell in an Italian wedding last year, the event will be a three-day extravaganza attended by celebrities, business moguls and influencers.
In photos from the first day of celebrations, Alexander looked dapper in a stylish cream suit, tortoise shell sunglasses and tan leather shoes.
Meanwhile, Chris dressed for the summer soirée in a black vest and matching trousers.
Among the notable stars to attend the first day of celebrations was Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, who has been enjoying her time off from the Kyle & Jackie O show while holidaying in Europe.
Joined by her close friend Gemma O’Neill, the 49-year-old blonde beauty stunned in a very revealing low-cut $3,000 Zimmermann floral dress.
Jackie later almost suffered a wardrobe malfunction as her assets almost spilled out of her outfit.

‘Oh my God my boobs. I hate showing boobs,’ she said in a recent video as she adjusted her dress.
Meanwhile, Gemma wore a black $1,600 Zimmermann corset dress.
Alexander and Chris will marry at Château de la Napoule, a restored French castle, located in Mandelieu-la-Napoule – which is about a 15 minute drive from Cannes.

Alexander is following in the Porter family footsteps, who made their wealth from condoms and lubricants, as a brand manager for the company.
His soon-to-be husband Chris works for YouTube.
Alexander’s brother Michael, who is the founder of pimple patch business Skin Control, said ‘I do’ to his long-time partner Billy Mitchell in Italy in July 2023.
The now-married pair, who originally planned to marry in 2020, are entrenched in Sydney’s elite social scene, with their guests including bikini model Natasha Oakley and liquor heir Theo Chambers, socialite Nadia Fairfax-Wayne and stylist Caroline Tran.

Their ceremony was officiated by Victoria’s Secret model Bridget Malcolm.
The multi-day event included a welcome party at the restaurant Locanda La Tirlindana, where the couple arrived via vintage Porsche to music and dancing in the cobblestone streets.
The glamorous affair was also a child-free event, with the couple strongly advising guests to leave their children at home.
