Oprah Winfrey and Kardashians lead A-list stars arriving for Jeff Bezos wedding
Jeff Bezos is getting married to Lauren Sanchez in a multi-million dollar ceremony in Venice, Italy, this week with a host of A-list stars are arriving to celebrate
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is tying the knot with partner Lauren Sanchez this week, with the two inviting their mega-rich friends to celebrate with them. Celebrations will begin on this evening as a casual welcome dinner will be held at the 14th-century Madonna dell'Orto church.
The ceremony was expected to take place at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, an historic 16th-century building in the city centre. However, the No Space for Bezos campaign group claim the couple scrambled to change their plans, after activists threatened to block the canals with inflatable crocodiles to stop their guests from attending.
Amid the chaos, a number of stars were pictured arriving in Venice, including Kim and Khloe Kardashian along with their mother, Kris Jenner. Orlando Bloom, who reportedly recently split with Katy Perry, was spotted in casual wear as he chatted away to socialite Kim.
The day before saw President of the United States' daughter, Ivanka Trump, and her husband Jared Kushner getting off a boat in the city along with their children.
Jeff and Lauren are said to have invited 200 guests in total, so here's who has arrived so far...

Ivanka Trump sparks security fears at Jeff Bezos wedding with intimate photo 'revealing location'
Ivanka Trump has sparked security fears after she potentially revealed the new location of the star-studded wedding between Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. The three-day party, $48 million affair in Venice had a last minute venue change due to protests from angry locals and global tensions arising from the US strike on Iran over this past weekend. Ivanka has ignited concerns after she posted a photo of her hotel room number alongside several pictures of herself and husband Jared Kushner in their formal attire. 'Ready to celebrate the love story of our friends, Lauren Sanchez and @JeffBezos,' she posted on X on Thursday afternoon. The image set contained a photograph of a white door with the couple's room number and the word 'Dolce Vita' written on the front. It immediately sparked concerned replies from eagle-eyed social media users. 'Did you dox location by posting the photo of that door?' one person replied to her post, which has now been seen by more than 235,000 people. The pre-wedding festivities began Thursday with what was believed to be the rehearsal dinner, an event attended by a long list of celebrities. They include Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom and Tom Brady, all of whom were dressed to the nines. Ivanka and Kushner were seen arriving in Venice ahead of the event in a gondola. The couple previously jetted in with their children Arabella Rose, 13, Joseph Frederick, 10, and Theodore James, eight. The first daughter shared snaps of her and husband Jared Kushner, but included one image which may have given away the location of the exclusive event One person replied with concern to her post, which has now been seen by more than 235,000 people Ivanka is one of the most insulated guests at the wedding, since she has a Secret Service detail that is no doubt causing a headache for other partygoers. A heavy police presence has been spotted in the city ahead of the nuptials, while divers were seen conducting sweeps of the canals. On Thursday, the bride was seen sporting terrifyingly tight corset for the party, while her Amazon billionaire groom was dressed in a white shirt, black suit and sunglasses. Bezos held out his hand as he and Sanchez stepped aboard a water taxi, before the the couple shared a quick kiss in front of adoring fans. Ivanka and her family jetted off to Venice on Tuesday to make the wedding. The family has been seeing enjoying the sites, spotted getting into a water taxi to explore the city on Wednesday. Ivanka has been sharing their trip to social media, posting some snaps from the family vacation later on in the day. 'Da Venezia, con amore,' she captioned a series of photos, which translates to 'From Venice, with love.' The upcoming wedding seems to be a family affair for Ivanka, as other members of the Trump family are rumored to be among the 200 guests. The original plan was for a huge party at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia on Saturday night, but it has now been moved to another venue in the Arsenale area of the city, according to local media. A source revealed to Daily Mail that around 60 of Venice's water taxis are reserved for the week, with some of the 400 gondolas on the island out of commission as well. Bezos' superyacht, Koru, which includes a bronze goddess statue that shares similarities with his lover Sanchez, is also in the area, moored off the coast of Croatia, which is located across from Italy in the Mediterranean. However, not all are happy about Bezos taking over the city for days. On Monday, Greenpeace activists unfurled a huge banner in St Mark's Square, the iconic heart of Venice protesting against the wedding. It showed an image of Bezos face and the slogan: 'If you can rent Venice for your wedding then you can pay more tax.' Activists from British group 'Everyone Hates Elon' were also involved and said they had carried it out to highlight the, 'environmental and social injustice of the wedding'. One said: 'Bezos encapsulates an economic and social model which is steering us towards collapse. 'All to often now social injustice travels on an equal par with the climate, on one side the arrogance of a few billionaires who have a lifestyle that devastates the planet, the other people who suffer daily from the environment crisis.' These demonstrations are part of the reason why Bezos chose to move part of the wedding elsewhere. He's also hired a team of former US marines to provide security for the event. The actual wedding ceremony is set to kick off on Friday.
