The wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez is quickly approaching, with the anticipated dates being June 24–26. It is regarded as one of the most anticipated wedding festivities. The wedding festivities are expected to cost about $14 million and will take place in Venice. Are you curious about the beginning of the couple’s romance? Continue reading.
In 2016, Jeff and Lauren initially crossed paths in order to work together professionally. Their friendship developed into a loving relationship. Bezos and MacKenzie Scott were still together at the time. The two of them were seen together in Santa Monica during a helicopter flight in 2018. After Sánchez completed her divorce and Jeff terminated his 25-year marriage, they made their romance public in January 2019.
Additionally, in the spring of 2018, the National Enquirer released some private texts that the two of them had exchanged. Although this incident sparked a media frenzy, the two of them were able to get through it.
Lauren obtained her helicopter pilot’s license in 2016, which is an intriguing fact. She later founded Black Ops Aviation, the first female-owned aerial film firm, specializing in upscale drone and helicopter cinematography.
Bezos was searching for aerial footage in 2018 for his space exploration business, Blue Origin. Sánchez personally piloted the aircraft after her company was recruited for the task. Jeff was terrified of flying, but Lauren’s serene assurance made him feel more at ease.

Their first significant public appearance was at Wimbledon in July 2019, where they sat behind Prince William and Kate Middleton. In January 2020, the couple attended an Amazon Prime event in Mumbai and took advantage of numerous vacations in Europe and other countries.
Bezos made the proposal on board his $500 million yacht, Koru, in May 2023. During the European summer voyage, he made the proposal with a striking 30-carat pink diamond ring. After that, they hosted an engagement party in Beverly Hills, where celebrities including Bob Iger, Kim Kardashian, and Oprah made an appearance. Fun fact: Lauren was shocked when Jeff asked her to marry him. At this point, she jokingly admitted that she had planned her wedding on Pinterest.
I can’t believe we live in a world that allows a person to become so rich they can spend 600 million on a wedding 🤯, is the same world that allows homeless people to freeze to death on the streets. WTF https://t.co/XTlxDerD5n

Recently, protesters in Venice have started a string of demonstrations against Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, who is getting married to his fiancée Lauren Sánchez next week in an extravagant, multi-million dollar event that may force the closure of some areas of the well-known city.
With an estimated net worth of $220.9 billion, Jeff Bezos, 61, is the third richest person in the world. He founded Blue Origin, a space technology company, and Amazon. Between June 23 and June 28, hundreds of well-known visitors are expected to arrive in Venice for the wedding, which is said to occupy the entire island of San Giorgio, which is located across from St. Mark’s Square.
Numerous water taxis and nearly every upscale hotel have been reserved by the bridal party, according to Italian media. “Venice is being treated like a showcase, a stage,” Venetian protester Federica Toninelli, 33, who is part of the No Space for Bezos protest organization, said. “And this wedding is the symbol of the exploitation of the city by outsiders… Venice is now just an asset.”
