Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Set to Celebrate Lavish Wedding in Venice
In a highly anticipated event, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is gearing up to marry Lauren Sanchez in Venice, Italy, in what is being dubbed the “wedding of the century.” The multi-day celebration promises a star-studded guest list, including celebrities, political figures, and tech moguls. Among the first guests spotted arriving were Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, who took a water taxi with their children.
The couple’s wedding festivities will be extravagant, featuring a ceremony on Bezos’s $500 million yacht, the Koru, followed by a grand reception at the historic 15th-century Arsenale. Guests will be treated to the luxurious accommodations of Venice’s premier hotels, such as the Aman Venice and Gritti Palace.
However, the opulence hasn’t come without controversy. Greenpeace staged protests in the city against the wedding, highlighting issues of overtourism and local planning challenges exacerbated by such high-profile events. Protesters hung a banner in St. Mark’s Square demanding, “IF YOU CAN RENT VENICE FOR YOUR WEDDING YOU CAN PAY MORE TAX,” although local police swiftly removed it.
Activists from various organizations are involved in the “No Space for Bezos” campaign, seeking to draw attention to the negative impact of tourism on local communities. They argue that Bezos’s extravagant wedding is a stark reminder of the city’s ongoing struggles with housing and resource management.
As preparations for the wedding continue, Venice is abuzz with excitement and protests, reflecting the complex dynamics of wealth, celebrity, and local issues in one of the world’s most beloved cities.
