Jeff Bezos Wedding: Preparations are underway for one of the most anticipated weddings of the year as the couple, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sanchez, have arrived in Venice ahead of their wedding on Wednesday (local time). Bezos and his fiancé were seen waving at the waiting paparazzi as they disembarked on one of the city’s docks.
As per the reports, the duo is expected to tie the knot this week in a three-day extravagant celebration in Venice.
The multi-day wedding celebration, which began on June 24, includes gifts from Venetian artisans and yacht parties as well. With 200 guests, Bezos and Sanchez’s wedding in Venice is expected to be a lavish yet private event.
According to their closest loved ones, the event will not be an ordinary wedding, though specifics have not yet been made public.
Pre-Wedding Celebrations
According to a Vanity Fair report, the three-day event would be held in the Italian lagoon city from June 26 to 28. The pre-wedding celebrations will include a pyjama party and a Great Gatsby-themed cocktail party.
As per the report, the first party of the three-day event is expected to be held in Cannaregio. The city has already blocked off the area from 6 pm to midnight so a walkway and generator can be set up.
However, the authorities haven’t officially confirmed about the said event but all the signs—like the boats being used and the famous British wedding planner involved—indicate about the same, the Vanity Fair report said.
Further it was revealed that the pre-wedding party is expected to be held in a hidden spot called the Sant’Alvise complex, which includes a 14th-century church, monastery, and a private area, called the Barco.
Additionally, the Gatsby cocktail party is expected to bring the glitz and glamour of 1920s America to the Italian city. The couple is also expected to host a pyjama party where pyjamas will be mandatory for all guests.
Celebrity-Studded Occasion
The Italian wedding is expected to be a celebrity-studded occasion. Celebrities to attend include Salma Hayek Pinault, Miranda Kerr, Barbra Streisand, Suki Waterhouse, Robert Pattinson, Oprah Winfrey, Joshua Kushner, Karlie Kloss, Jared Kushner, and Ivanka Trump, among others.
Sanchez’s fellow Blue Origin space crew members Katy Perry and Gayle King, as well as her close friends Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian, might also be invited. According to reports, each visitor is being offered opulent lodging at famous establishments like the Belmond Cipriani, the Gritti Palace, and the Aman Venice.
Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro announced that Bezos and Sanchez will be getting married in the historic Italian city with only 200 guests after the billionaire refuted reports that they were planning a $600 million winter wedding in Aspen, Colorado. Bezos and Sanchez reportedly intend to purchase 80% of the wedding’s supplies from local vendors. The oldest pastry maker in the city, Rosa Salva, is making goodie bags for guests, and Laguna B, known for its vibrant, handblown Murano glass, is also making items for the wedding.
