Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding draws celebrity crowd to Venice. See the photos.
The highly anticipated wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and former journalist Lauren Sánchez is set to take place in Italy this weekend. A star-studded guest list of celebrities was seen arriving in Venice for the first planned events on Thursday, with the actual ceremony scheduled for Saturday at a undisclosed location. Among the 200 expected guests were notable figures such as Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Kim Kardashian, and Tom Brady.
However, the influx of high-profile stars sparked protests from locals in Venice, leading to the creation of the “No Space for Bezos” campaign. This backlash is part of a broader trend of pushback against tourists in Europe, with some blaming them for rising costs and rent in the region.
Both Bezos, 61, and Sánchez, 55, are entering into their second marriages. Bezos was previously married to philanthropist Mackenzie Scott, while Sánchez was previously married to Patrick Whitesell, the executive chair of talent firm Endeavor. Both couples divorced in 2019.
The guest list for the wedding reception included a slew of A-list celebrities, with attendees like Kylie Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Usher, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Corey Gamble, Kris Jenner, Domenico Dolce, Edward Enninful, Vittoria Ceretti, Barry Diller, and Diane von Furstenberg.
The wedding festivities in Venice have captured the attention of the world, with paparazzi capturing moments of glamour and luxury as the high-profile guests arrived in style for the celebration. Stay tuned for more updates on this extravagant event as it unfolds in the picturesque city of Venice.
