Much of the Kardashian family has arrived in Venice, including billionaire entrepreneur Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kendall and Kylie Jenner and their mother, Kris Jenner, who arrived with her partner Corey Gamble.
Billionaire Oprah Winfrey and journalist Gayle King, who joined Sánchez on Blue Origin's star-studded and controversial flight to the edge of space in April, were photographed arriving in Venice on Thursday.
Some A-list actors have been spotted in Venice, including Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, Sydney Sweeney and Orlando Bloom, who appeared to arrive without Katy Perry after multiple tabloids reported the couple split after nine years together (TMZ reported Perry, who also joined Sánchez on Blue Origin's space flight and attended her bachelorette party, was invited to the wedding).
NFL star Tom Brady was photographed boarding a water taxi outside Venice's Marco Polo Airport on Thursday.
Billionaires including Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Barry Diller, chairman and founder of the internet and media conglomerate IAC, were also photographed in Venice.
Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, were pictured arriving at Marco Polo Airport and boarding a water taxi Tuesday.
Other attendees who have touched down in Venice include investor Michael Kives, known for his celebrity connections and for mentoring Sam Bankman-Fried; Dolce & Gabbana founder and billionaire Domenico Dolce; and Queen Rania of Jordan, wife of the country's King Abdullah II.

Bezos invited President Donald Trump to the wedding, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing White House sources, though Trump will not attend because of scheduling conflicts. Who Else Is Expected To Attend Bezos' Wedding?
Many of the details about the wedding, including the guest list, have largely been kept under wraps. TMZ reported celebrities who received invites include Katy Perry and Gayle King, who accompanied Sànchez on Blue Origin's flight to the edge of space, as well as Oprah Winfrey, Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Jewel, Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner. Tony Gonzalez, a former NFL tight end and Sànchez's ex-boyfriend, with whom she has a son, will attend the wedding, TMZ reported. City officials said the guest list for Bezos' wedding is limited to 200 people. When And Where Is Bezos' Wedding?
Bezos and Sánchez will get married on Friday, the centerpiece of an extravagant three-day celebration. The couple will tie the knot on San Giorgio Island, a small locale known for its centuries-old church that boasts a bell tower in a ceremony featuring a performance by Matteo Bocelli, son of opera singer Andrea Bocelli. The festivities began Thursday with a party at the Madonna dell'Orto cathedral, and the celebration is expected to conclude Saturday at Venice's Arsenale, historically a shipyard and armory. Protests by locals, who are frustrated with overtourism and Bezos' links to President Donald Trump, forced Bezos to move a wedding party from a central Venetian nightlife area to a more isolated part of the city, Reuters reported.

Wedding show celebrates 900 years of church
A church has been "buzzing with laughter and memories" with the arrival of a wedding show to commemorate its 900th year, its organisers have said. St Andrew's Church in Haughton-le-Skerne, Darlington, had its first recorded marriage in 1569 and is one of the oldest churches in Darlington. Organiser Carol Atkinson said she got the idea for the show, which runs until Sunday lunchtime, "many years ago" after both her grandmother and mother got married at the church. Sarah Beavis, who was among those to share her wedding attire, said she also had "strong ties" to the church, as she got married there in 2010 and her parents did in 1979. The exhibition includes more than 30 wedding garments, photos and snippets of memories of marriages at St Andrew's. Mrs Atkinson said the show had been a "wonderful success" at "our beautiful church". She said St Andrew's had been "buzzing with laughter and memories, with many visitors bumping into friends they haven't seen for decades". Mrs Beavis, from Darlington, said the church was "the centre" of Haughton-le-Skerne. "I chose the church because my parents got married there on 11 August 1979." The 40-year-old said she "couldn't have asked for better" of her special day on 29 May 2010. "My husband, Michael, is in the navy and it was a semi-military wedding with a mix of lads from the SAS and royal marines," she continued. "It's meant be good luck to have a sailor at your sure what it means to marry one though." She added everyone was "quite shocked" by her dress, because she had "always been a bit of a tomboy but I chose a 'Disney princess' was the polar opposite to my personality". Meanwhile, a group of knitters picked up their needles once again to add to the celebrations. The Haughton Ladies Who Knit group stitched a range of wedding-themed characters for the exhibition and decorated parking bollards in the village green.

How one couple saved nearly $3,000 a month by moving to Italy
In travel news this week: how to get the Italian lifestyle when you don't have a billionaire's budget, plus we reveal CNN's pick of America's Best Towns to Visit in 2025. Only 10 made our list: Did somewhere near you make the cut? Money can't buy you love, but it can get you a mammoth celebration of matrimony and mammon that has the whole world talking. All eyes are on Venice this week for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's big-bucks big day, an event mired in controversy as protesters rail against the damage done to their city by overtourism. However, you don't need a net worth of $263 billion to enjoy the dolce delights of the Italian lifestyle, or the sweet highs of amore, as our CNN Travel picks this week will show. The Smarrellis, from Syracuse, New York, were in Venice for their 50th wedding anniversary when they decided to quit the US and move to a coastal town in Calabria, southern Italy. They told CNN their living costs have dropped by nearly $3,000 a month since making the move. 'It was a good choice,' said Tony Smarrelli. We first reported on rural Italian towns selling one-euro homes back in 2019, as a savvy way to revitalize dwindling communities. The most successful of the schemes has been in Sicily's Sambuca di Sicilia, aka 'Italy's Little America,' but while Americans kickstarted the town's resurrection, young Italians are now grabbing up homes for themselves too. 'Why leave such opportunities to foreigners?' 25-year-old Sicilian Paolo Morabito told CNN. Season two of our 'Chance Encounters' podcast launched on Friday, bringing you a summer's worth of true stories of friendship and romance formed while traveling. CNN's Francesca Street presents the series based on her hit column of the same name. The first new episode follows Catherine Tondelli, a Californian woman who met her Italian husband, Fausto, in front of Rome's Trevi Fountain right after she threw three coins into the fountain's waters and made a wish. There are also six episodes to catch up on from season one, such as the tale of Rachel Décoste who traveled to Benin in West Africa, anticipating a life-changing experience. She jumped on the back of local man Honoré Orogbo's motorbike and the trip changed her life in more ways than she ever could have imagined. In this Unlocking the World roundup we promised you love and we promised you thriftiness. Our partners at CNN Underscored, a product reviews and recommendations guide owned by CNN, have some tips that cover both. Emily McNutt booked her $18,584 honeymoon business-class flights from the US to Southeast Asia for less than $200. Here's how she did it. Also returning this week is CNN Travel's second annual list of America's Best Towns to Visit. After considering hundreds of nominations from our readers and contributors, our editors whittled those down to this year's magic 10. Our choices range in size from about 15,000 residents to about 115,000. They're spread across the United States and capture the remarkable variety that defines the country — from culture and food to history and outstanding natural beauty. Each of these towns is testament to how Americans can build towns and communities that add up to more than the sum of their parts. Our No.1 for 2025 is Ithaca, New York, a lively college town with an outsize number of cultural offerings for its modest scale. There's plenty of natural 'wow factor' as the area around Ithaca is filled with gorges and cascading falls, while refreshment awaits in the many wineries and cider houses in New York's Finger Lakes region. Explore the rest of our top 10 here. North Korea has just opened a massive new beach resort on the country's east coast. The Kalma beachside resort includes waterparks, high-rise hotels and accommodations for nearly 20,000 guests. Could one of the world's most secretive nations be turning towards more international tourism? CNN explains what the new resort could mean for Kim Jong Un and his regime. Visitors keep breaking stuff in Italian museums. First, a man in Verona busted this crystal-covered chair inspired by Van Gogh. Then another guy stumbled back into a 17th-century painting while taking a selfie in Florence's Uffizi Gallery. A Californian woman paid to be on a cruise ship for 15 years. Here's how it's going so far. A private Scottish island has gone on sale for $7.5 million. It comes with its own castle.
