Nothing will be spared when the tech billionaire's youngest daughter, Eve, marries her British showjumper boyfriend, Harry Charles, this weekend because she was the apple of her father's eye. In Oxfordshire, a whole village will be placed under lockdown starting tomorrow. Oxfordshire is being completely upended by this unique society wedding. It takes place in a sleepy village that seems to be becoming a no-go area, complete with secret service agents and guys who appear to be FBI employees, as per a report by The US Sun. Live Events This is a very peaceful location close to the Cotswolds, they continued. Tourists and well-known faces are nothing new to anyone, but this is something else. According to reports, Eve, 27, and Harry, 26, who we disclosed became engaged in September of last year, are organizing a lavish four-day celebration that will begin tomorrow. What makes this wedding so over the top? Eve and Harry are going all out for their wedding, a four-day party at a private estate in Oxfordshire near the Cotswolds. Expect a lot of security, helicopters, secret service agents, private jets at Oxford airport, and trucks bringing in staging and lighting for Elton John's show. Planners like Stanlee Gatti, who is known for planning events like those in Hollywood, are working on every detail, from the decorations to the downtime options, as per a report by The US Sun. Who's coming to the party? This isn't just a party for famous "It Girls"; it's a gathering of people who have power. Kamala Harris is friends with Eve's mother, Laurene Powell Jobs, and will be there with other powerful politicians. Some well-known people are Jony Ive, the designer of Apple, Jessica Springsteen, Bruce Springsteen's daughter, Sofia Abramovich, Roman Abramovich's daughter, Phoebe and Jennifer Gates, the daughters of tech moguls, and Matt Helders from Arctic Monkeys. It's a list of famous people from all over the world.

Eve and Harry wanted a fancy country party with a modern touch. This wedding mixes stoic English villages with California glam. There are custom capsule-style stages for Elton, luxury helicopters, lily-covered tables, and personal touches that honor family legacies. The event honors giving and remembering as much as it does showing off. There are speeches and benefits for loved ones. The Love Story and Family History Eve, 27, and Harry, 26, met because they both loved showjumping. Harry, a British Olympic gold medalist, competed in Tokyo and Paris, where their relationship grew stronger. Eve is a modern "It Girl" who went to Stanford and is a talented rider and former model. Last September, they said they were getting married. Laurene Powell Jobs, who is well-known for her charitable work through Emerson Collective, has been in charge of the event's vision. She and Steve didn't want to pass on their wealth to their children; they wanted them to make their own way. Steve loved Eve and called her a "funny firecracker." The family's values and Eve's energy are shown in the celebrations this weekend. A Memorable Weekend Guests are starting to arrive today, so preparations are in full swing. The estate looks like a small airport, with private jets, helicopters, and flower trucks with fancy wrapping pulling into hidden driveways. Some parts of nearby villages are on lockdown, and homeowners in the area say that a lot of expensive cars and high-end staff are coming to the site. The schedule is full but personal, pre-wedding dinners, a formal ceremony, Elton's unforgettable performance, heartfelt family toasts in memory of Steve, and charitable themes running through each event. More private times, like champagne breakfasts and horseback rides, remind me of the things Eve and Harry like to do together. FAQs Who will perform at the wedding? Sir Elton John has been booked for a one-hour performance that will reportedly cost more than £1 million. Who are the famous attendees? The guests include Kamala Harris, Jony Ive, Phoebe and Jennifer Gates, Jessica Springsteen, Sofia Abramovich, and others.

A degree without borders
In today's fast-paced job market, graduates must be agile and globally competent. Employers are looking for more than academic results; they want digital fluency, cross-cultural experience and real-world problem-solving skills. That is where an American-style education can provide students a vital edge. Through its partnership with Arizona State University (ASU), Sunway University's School of American Education offers Malaysian students a globally recognised qualification and the exposure needed to thrive in a connected, competitive world. At a time when international study, particularly in the United States, is becoming more complex due to shifting immigration policies, Sunway University, ranked the No.1 private university in Asean (AppliedHE 2025), offers a secure and flexible alternative: students can begin and even complete an American degree right here in Malaysia. For those who still wish to transfer to the US later, over 20 curated pathways ensure a smooth transition to ASU, which has been named the most innovative university in the US for ten consecutive years. Driving this forward is the School's newly appointed dean, Assoc Prof Dr Woo Pei Jun, who brings a strong background in American education and a deep understanding of what students and families value today: quality, security and future-readiness. With her leadership, the School is strengthening its focus on student well-being, academic excellence and flexible pathways for global success. 'We recognise that parents are looking for stability, quality and assurance in their children's education. 'Our goal is to provide a world-class education that's safe, affordable and full of opportunity — right here in Malaysia, with the option to pursue global experiences when the time is right,' she said. Woo highlights the school's mission to balance global opportunity with local security.

This programme equips students with strategic thinking and creative skills to craft compelling and effective advertising campaigns that align with global trends in digital marketing and media. > Bachelor of Arts in Psychology (Hons): With the increasing focus on mental health and human behaviour in various sectors, understanding psychological principles is more valuable than ever. This programme delves into the complexities of the human mind, emphasising critical thinking, research methodologies and the practical application of psychological theories. > Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) (Hons): The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and computer science into everyday life has created a pressing need for specialists in this field; expertise in these areas is invaluable.

US student visa updates In recent years, the process of obtaining a US student visa has seen several changes, influenced by evolving policies and global circumstances. According to EducationUSA, the official US advisory body for international students, the United States has resumed scheduling appointments for F (academic), M (vocational) and J (exchange) non-immigrant visas, clearing backlogs for students awaiting interviews. Additionally, the US Department of State has introduced expanded screening procedures to enhance security. New rules include social media checks to maintain the integrity of the process. With intakes now open, there is no better time to consider enrolling in Sunway University's School of American Education. Given the competitive nature of the programme and the availability of visa interviews, prospective students are encouraged to apply early. Navigating global uncertainties In the shifting political and economic landscapes, Sunway's School of American Education programmes are designed to equip students with the adaptability and skills needed to thrive globally. The hybrid model of study provides a secure and versatile option for students amid these uncertainties. For more information on the application process or courses offered, visit the website.
