The city of canals, Venice, is about to witness a union that will make waves around the world. Jeff Bezos, the former president and CEO of Amazon, and his fiancée Lauren Sánchez are getting married today. With the world's attention focused on the City of Water, Bezos and Sánchez are set to tie the knot in a ceremony that promises to be both intimate and unforgettable.
From the venue to the guest list, every detail of this high-society wedding is being closely watched. As the big day unfolds, we bring you all the information we know so far about the star-studded celebration.
The couple's wedding celebrations, which began on Thursday and will conclude on Saturday, with celebrities and high-society guests flocking to the city to join in the festivities, as per reports.
The guest list for the wedding is a veritable Who's Who of A-list celebrities, including Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, and Ivanka Trump. The couple's friends and family have started arriving in the city, with some guests already spotted attending pre-wedding parties.
The wedding is expected to cost around $10 million (₹85.4 Crores approximately), with the couple's planners insisting that they are being respectful of the city and its locals. The events are expected to take place across the city, including a kick-off party at the medieval Madonna dell'Orto cloister.
However, the wedding hasn't been without controversy. A group called “No Space for Bezos” has been protesting the event, citing concerns about overtourism and the impact on the city's fragile ecosystem. The protests have led to a change in plans, with one of the events being relocated to a less accessible part of the city.

Despite the protests, the city of Venice is expected to benefit financially from the wedding. The tourism councillor has estimated that the city will profit around $23.4-35.1 million from the parties and events, suggest reports.
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez announced their engagement in 2023, and have been planning their wedding ever since. However, it seems that Ivanka Trump may have stolen the show with her bold fashion statement and heavy security detail. Guests reportedly found her move a bit tone-deaf, and some insiders suggest that the couple may be questioning whether inviting Ivanka was worth the hassle.
