Amazon's founder, Jeff Bezos, and journalist Lauren Sánchez are now officially husband and wife. The couple celebrated their nuptials in grand style in Venice, Italy, with an intimate yet extravagant ceremony filled with luxury, elegance, and celebrity guests. The romantic island of San Giorgio Maggiore served as the picturesque setting where over 200 guests gathered to witness the mogul and the pilot exchange their vows.
Lauren Sánchez stunned in a white lace Dolce & Gabbana gown, inspired by the timeless elegance of Sophia Loren. With its high neck, mermaid silhouette, and a historic veil, the bride captured all the attention (and likes). Bezos, not to be outdone, donned a black tuxedo and aviator sunglasses, looking every bit the part of a man ready to conquer the world—or at least to marry in style.
The atmosphere resembled a blockbuster production: celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom, and Ivanka Trump arrived via private boats and water taxis. For several days, Venice became the center of the universe with glamorous dinners, gondola rides, and toasts.
The ceremony commenced with Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love," performed by Matteo Bocelli, and included a charitable touch: instead of gifts, the couple requested donations to Venetian organizations. It was an elegant way to add heart and awareness amid all the glitz and criticism.
However, not everything was picture-perfect. Outside, local groups protested the event's impact on a city already grappling with mass tourism. Despite this, the city council expressed delight with the wedding, highlighting the economic benefits. Who said love doesn't fuel the economy?
After five years of romance, an engagement on a superyacht, and countless headlines, Jeff and Lauren sealed their story with a cinematic wedding. If anyone can launch love like a rocket, it’s Jeff Bezos—and Lauren, his lifelong co-pilot, who has now officially adopted her husband's surname, becoming Lauren Sánchez Bezos. She made this official on the cover of Vogue, showcasing her wedding dress, and also on Instagram.
