With plans that have many questioning their decisions and intentions, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are getting ready for what many are referring to as the wedding of the century. Between June 24 and June 26, the founder of Amazon and a former TV journalist will exchange vows at an unusual location that has drawn both interest and criticism from observers.
The affluent pair will get married at a famous outdoor theater on a Venetian island in Italy, according to purported sources who talked to The U.S. Sun. According to the details of their impending wedding, which is anticipated to draw over 200 guests, it will be a party of remarkable grandeur.
Legendary musicians Lady Gaga and Elton John are reportedly scheduled to play for the guests, further enhancing the opulence. The pair has booked opulent lodgings all across the city, including the Grand Canal Suite at the upscale Aman Venice hotel, which costs $11,600 per night. According to the sources, “the theater has been restored and they have booked it.”
Adding, “It’s not your usual venue for a wedding, it would be iconic. Everyone is talking about the wedding and it’s going to be a huge celebration.” On its website, the location—which is reportedly still officially unnamed—displays a two-week block of unavailability dates. The guest list resembles a who’s who of famous people from throughout the world.
According to reports, Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry, and Kim Kardashian are invited. Model Karlie Kloss and her husband Joshua Kushner might attend as well, along with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. The Trumps might represent the political world. Sánchez and Bezos were in the front row for President Donald Trump’s inauguration in January. There are rumors that the President might attend the wedding as well.
Social media users have not been charmed by the couple’s extravagant preparations, despite the media’s fascination with them. Many have criticized what they see as excessive displays of money and dubious marital dynamics.

“I don’t like her, but well, since she is the other woman, getting married in a church would be hypocritical. So good for them for choosing something different,” one Y! Entertainment readers commented, alluding to the controversial beginnings of the couple’s relationship.
Another curious reader from the Daily Mail wrote, “I still don’t think it’s going to happen.. why should he buy the cow, he’s already getting the milk.” Another user focused on the financial aspects of the union. “Love to see the prenuptial,” they questioned, before adding, “I don’t even know why he’s bothering to marry her tbh. Obviously, they’ve been living together once the affair was outed.” Another suggested, “This marriage is going to make Jeff Bezos a millionaire.”
Many are interested in the prenuptial agreement between the couple and how Bezos would safeguard his enormous wealth. The vast financial gap between them — her $30 million net worth vs Bezos’ $203 billion fortune—has stoked such rumors, even though there is no proof that she is primarily interested in his wealth.

The cynicism in the comments continued with one user writing, “Bezos is going to feel like the Ringmaster at a Grand Circus with this bunch of narcissists surrounding him. Spending days on end with these phoney people would drive any normal person mad. It’s a good thing there are no normal people invited to this wedding.” One simply stated: “They’ll be divorced in a year.”
Jeff Bezos’ wedding preparations in Venice have garnered a lot of attention. After hearing about the festival from Domenico Dolce seven months ago, Morris Ceron, director general of the Venice council, said he started working to bring it to the city.
“I got to work to bring this marriage of the century to Venice—that’s how it started,” Ceron said. In an effort to quell speculation, Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro described several speculations regarding the wedding’s specifics as “wholly unfounded.” The world will undoubtedly be watching for what many believe to be the “wedding of the century,” even though the specifics are still being kept under wraps.
