The allure of the couple’s love story began when Jain, aged 33, crossed paths with Hammond, aged 32, at the celebrity-favored gym Rumble Boxing, where she graced as a fitness instructor.

Desiring a unique celebration, Jain suggested a space wedding to Hammond initially, which she humorously declined, fearing dying on her wedding day. The couple, known for their adventurous spirit, opted for a remarkable safari trip in South Africa costing a striking $2,000 per night before their grand Egyptian ceremony.

The extravaganza continued as Jain and Hammond, along with their 130 guests, embarked on a private jet journey to Egypt, immersing themselves in a sequence of breathtaking experiences centered around the ancient Egyptian marvels.

Starting with a ‘Modern Cairo’ themed welcome reception at the Muhammed Ali Palace, the festivities carried on with an exclusive tour of the Pyramids and the Sphinx, culminating in a spectacular Ancient-Egypt x Met Gala-themed dinner at the yet-to-open Grand Egyptian Museum.

Hammond’s foray into the fitness realm commenced in Los Angeles before making her mark in New York as a founding trainer at Rumble Boxing. Her entrepreneurial ventures, such as Strong by Erika fitness app and the boxing-inspired group fitness classes Knockout at designated Equinox locations in NYC, exhibit her versatility beyond the wrestling ring.
