The couple tied the knot at a grand affair in Venice, Italy. The three-day extravaganza reportedly took over the whole island of San Giorgio Maggiore, opposite Venice's historic St Mark's Square, with a star-studded guest list. Bill Gates, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Kris Jenner, Karlie Kloss, Ivanka Trump and Orlando Bloom were among the guests.
As per People magazine, the couple's wedding ceremony kicked off with a performance of Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley, sung by Matteo Bocelli to cheers from the guests. Ahead of the ceremony, Jeff and Lauren were photographed leaving the Aman Hotel separately, presumably headed for their wedding venue. The bride wore a retro-inspired, all-white suit and silk head scarf, while the groom sported a sleek black tuxedo and aviator-style shades.
The couple had planned to hold their wedding ceremony on Saturday, June 28, at Scuola Grande della Misericordia, but made a last-minute location change due to security concerns amid ongoing protests over the wedding by groups who view it as a sign of the growing disparity between the haves and have-nots. The couple's wedding was estimated to cost around $55 million, as per a June 28 Reuters report, making it one of the most expensive weddings of the year.

'Eat the rich': Mass protests in Venice overshadow Bezos wedding amid tourism woes
Mass protests in Venice have overshadowed the lavish wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez amid anger over mass tourism, rising living costs, and inequality, turning the event into a symbol of wider global frustrations. read more People take part in a protest 'No Space for Bezos' a day after the wedding ceremony of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Venice, on June 28, 2025. (Photo by ANDREA PATTARO / AFP) Mass tourism, soaring rents, worker exploitation, inequality, and elitism — protests in Venice in recent days against Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's high-profile wedding have shone a spotlight on global frustrations. Local politicians dismissed the protesters as a small fringe group. Yet, Bezos's celebrity status and Venice's iconic scenery gave activists a global stage they used to amplify their message. Banners reading 'No Space for Bezos' hung from the famous Rialto Bridge, and a giant canvas laid out in St Mark's Square urged the tech billionaire to pay more taxes — images that quickly spread worldwide. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Bezos, out of the lagoon', the demonstrators chanted as they wound through the city centre, some brandishing signs that read: 'Eat the rich', 'Rejected', and accusations that Venice's mayor is 'corrupt'. Concerns about further disruptions forced Bezos and his bride to shift their final and biggest celebrity party from the city centre to a more secluded spot in the eastern part of Venice's lagoon. 'The idea that the city should be seen as a film set, a stage, or an amusement park has never been clearer than with Bezos's wedding,' said Tommaso Cacciari, a leader of the No Space for Bezos movement, speaking to Reuters. At the final protest on Saturday, around 1,000 residents and activists gathered outside Venice's train station under the blazing sun, then marched about 1.5 kilometres to the Rialto Bridge. They carried banners with slogans like 'Kisses yes, Bezos no,' a nod to Venice's romantic image, and 'No Space for Bezos,' featuring a rocket in reference to his Blue Origin space company. Meanwhile, many Venetian businesses and politicians welcomed the wedding, praising the significant boost it brought to the local economy. Luca Zaia, the regional governor of Veneto, said the city should be proud to have hosted the event. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

'Eat the rich': Venice protests shadow Jeff Bezos' wedding
At least 500 protesters marched through Venice on Saturday, condemning Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's wedding to journalist Lauren Sanchez, a lavish affair that has drawn backlash in the historic Italian city. People hang a banner 'No Space for Bezos' on the Rialto Bridge during a protest a day after the wedding ceremony of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Venice, on June 28, 2025.(AFP) "Bezos, out of the lagoon", the demonstrators chanted as they wound through the city centre, some brandishing signs that read: "Eat the rich", "Rejected", and accusations that Venice's mayor is "corrupt". The peaceful protest, held in sweltering heat, was led by the "No place for Bezos" group, which has campaigned for days against what it calls the couple's harmful economic and environmental footprint on the city. "We are here against what Bezos represents, his model, the Amazon model, based on exploiting people and land," said Alice Bazzoli, 24, an activist with "No Space for Bezos" who has lived in Venice for five years, speaking to AFPTV. Protesters later unfurled a large "No place for Bezos" banner and lit flares above the famous Rialto Bridge spanning the Grand Canal. Matteo Battistuta, a 20-year-old student, said he wanted to send the message that "Venice is fighting back, it's not a dead city, it acts in its own interest before tourism's". "We believe Venice can still be a place worth living in," he added. Bezos, 61, and Sanchez, 55, exchanged vows during a ceremony Friday evening on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, opposite St Mark's Square. The ceremony capped off a week of yacht parties and VIP events, due to end with a lavish ball Saturday night -- as Venetians remain divided over the impact on the city's image. Guests included Ivanka Trump, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, American football star Tom Brady, TV host Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates.
