Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez may have just wrapped their three-day, star-studded, $55 million wedding in Venice, but the public displays of affection didn't slow down as the final event got underway. Thanks to an expert lip reader, we now know exactly what was said.
During footage captured ahead of Saturday night's closing event, a 'pajama party' held at a private venue in the city, Bezos was seen helping Sánchez step into a water taxi. He offered his hand as she adjusted the fitted hem of her pink Atelier Versace gown. According to Nicola Hickling, a professional lip reader who spoke with the Daily Mail, Sánchez thanked her new husband after the assist.

Moments later, as the boat pulled away, Sánchez turned toward Bezos and mouthed 'love you,' prompting a kiss. After they parted, she glanced toward the assembled press and appeared to mouth the word 'impressed.' She then leaned in again, placed her hands on Bezos' cheeks, and kissed him once more before the two turned back to wave at onlookers.
The quiet exchange stood in contrast to the scale of the weekend. The couple's ceremony, held the day before on San Giorgio Maggiore island, reportedly featured a performance by Matteo Bocelli, the 26-year-old singer and son of Andrea Bocelli. Guests included the Kardasahian-Jenner family, Sydney Sweeney, Tom Brady, and Orlando Bloom sans Katy Perry. Sánchez wore a custom lace gown by Dolce & Gabbana with a cathedral-length veil and over 180 silk chiffon-covered buttons. Based on similar couture commissions, the dress is estimated to have cost more than $300,000.
Venetian officials estimate the full celebration cost upwards of $55 million, with hotel buyouts, private transportation, and late-stage security changes accounting for much of the spend. Anti-overtourism protestors disrupted the weekend with signs reading 'No Space for Bezos,' though the events continued largely as planned.
By Saturday night, the spectacle had mostly faded. But even without the opera house setting or the celebrity fanfare, there was still one last camera-ready moment waiting on the water. And it was a fairly typical one for a just-married couple.Best of SheKnows
