Wedding bells will soon ring out for billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his bride, Lauren Sánchez. The two will tie the knot in the Italian city of Venice and A-list guests have been flocking to celebrate with them.
The Context
The wedding has dominated headlines for weeks, coverage split between the wedding itself, and the protests in Venice against it.
The upcoming nuptials have ignited anger among locals and activists, who have united under the "No Space for Bezos" movement, and have argued that the wedding plans amount to the privatization and commercialization of Venice, exacerbating concerns about the city's long-standing problems with too much tourism.
This has been denied by the couple's wedding planners, and the mayor of Venice, Luigi Brugnaro, who said: "We are mutually working and supporting the organizers, to ensure that the event will be absolutely respectful of the fragility and uniqueness of the city," as per The Associated Press.
Much of the wedding details, including the exact date remain under wraps. Festivities began on Thursday, June 26 when Sánchez stepped out in her first bridal outfit, a gown from Schiaparelli's 2025 Spring Couture collection, designed by Daniel Roseberry.

Where will the wedding take place?
The wedding festivities are extensive, with celebrations taking place over multiple days at multiple venues.
The bride and groom are said to have changed their plans to avoid protests and move the wedding to a more remote location.
Initially, celebrations were slated to take place in Cannaregio, in Venice's historic center.
However, the local group "No Space for Bezos," threatened to disrupt the ceremony with inflatable crocodiles and a group plunge into canals.
The bride and groom are believed to have changed their plans to avoid the protesters and moved the wedding to a much more isolated location. A nonbinding ceremony, when the couple will exchange vows, is due on the small island of San Giorgio on Friday, Reuters and The Associated Press reported.
The wedding reception, which is rumored to be taking place on Saturday, is now expected to take place inside of the Arsenale, a 14th-century complex of former shipyards and armories on the eastern side of the historic center, Reuters has reported.
How much has the wedding cost?
The wedding will cost between $46 million and $56 million, according to Reuters estimates.
An estimated 90 private jets are expected to arrive for the event, and 30 water taxis have been booked.
A copy of Bezos and Sánchez's wedding invitation obtained by ABC News tells guests "no gifts," and instead requests that donations be made on behalf of guests to a number of organizations, including the UNESCO Venice Office to "safeguard this city's irreplaceable cultural heritage."

In New York, this Chinese restaurant is an icon. In Miami, it's closing after a year
Another upscale restaurant is closing in Miami, this time after only a year. RedFarm, the Chinese restaurant from New York famous for its dim sum and Peking duck, announced that it will be shutting down after service this Sunday. It opened in the former site of Mr. Moe's in Coconut Grove at 3131 Commodore Plaza in February of 2024. The New York and Austin, Texas, RedFarm locations will remain open. Created by restaurateur Ed Schoenfeld with partners Jeffrey Chodorow, his son Zach Chodorow and Alex Pirez, the restaurant announced its plans on Instagram in a tersely worded statement with none of the usual effusive thanks or flourishes. 'Thank you to all of our guests who joined us in Miami,' the post read. 'We wanted to let you know that we will be closing our Coconut Grove location at the end of service this Sunday, June 29.' The post went on to say that the Chodorows plan to reopen RedFarm in South Florida in the future and that signature dishes, such as Ed's pastrami egg rolls and the colorful Pac Man shrimp dumplings will return. At the moment, no new site has been announced. The first RedFarm opened in New York's West Village in 2011. Miami native Jeffrey Chodorow, best known here for opening the famous China Grill in Miami Beach in the mid 1990s, said in 2024 that opening in South Florida had always been in the back of his mind. 'As a Miami native and resident, I always knew we would bring RedFarm here,' he said. 'Not only because I'm always craving RedFarm's dishes, but many of our New York customers spend a lot of time here, or have moved here, and our Miami friends kept asking me when we were going to open here.' The closing comes at a time of mild upheaval in the Coconut Grove culinary scene. At the end of May, the Michelin-recommended Portuguese restaurant Sereia closed after a only year. The Italian restaurant Like Mike, which opened in 2022 and was located at 3433 Main Highway, quietly closed as well and is being taken over by the Italian seafood spot Sapore de Mare, its Grove neighbor. Also gone is Chef Michael Schwartz's Harry's Pizzeria at 2996 McFarlane Road. The brand also quietly closed its South Beach location.

Lauren Sánchez Bezos's Ongoing Fashion Fascination with Sophia Loren
By her own admission, Lauren Sánchez Bezos did not marry Jeff Bezos in the kind of gown she initially envisioned. Originally, she told Vogue's Chloe Malle that she had visions of a strapless dress. But after going on a Blue Origin space flight to the Kárman line, both her perspective about her life—and style—shifted. 'It went from 'I want a simple, sexy modern dress' to 'I want something that evokes a moment,' and where I am right now. I am a different person than I was five years ago,' she said. So, she researched pictures of brides from the 1950s. One in particular stuck with her: Sophia Loren's wedding dress from the 1958 movie Houseboat. 'I said, 'That's it. That's the dress.'' After several conversations with Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, Dolce & Gabbana made her a high lace neck mermaid-line gown with 180 hand-finished, silk chiffon-covered buttons that took over 1900 hours to make. 'The whole thing was like a dream,' Sánchez says. Loren's original—and fictional—dress was made by legendary costume designer Edith Head, who received eight Academy Awards (as well as a total of 35 nominations) and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her work with Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures. She's known for crafting the clothes worn by Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday and Breakfast at Tiffany's, Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief, and Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard.

In April, Sánchez attended the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in a 1994 John Galliano dress once worn by the Fellini muse. On a now-deleted Instagram post (Sanchez cleared her profile after officially marrying Bezos) she called her an 'icon of strength and timeless beauty.' It seems likely that Sánchez may have more Old Hollywood fashion nods up her (long lace) sleeves.
