The big day happened on Friday, June 27 on one of the islands of Venice, San Giorgio Maggiore. Lauren and Jeff both wore Dolce & Gabbana for their nuptials. The children's book author specifically wore a custom mermaid-style Dolce & Gabbana dress featuring hand-appliquéd Italian lace and silk chiffon-covered buttons. Jeff had on a classic Black Tuxedo with a bowtie.
The extravagant wedding reportedly cost between $20 million to more than $50 million. On the day of the event, more of the couple's estimated 200 high profile and famous guest were seen on water taxis heading to the venue, which included Oprah, Bill Gates, Usher, and Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan.

Despite the couple's wedding in Venice, a senior city hall official told Reuters that their ceremony had no legal status under Italian law. There has been speculation that the couple married a month or so ago, legally in the United States.
Jeff and Lauren had a post-wedding pajama-themed afterparty to close out their wedding festivities on Saturday, June 28. Although the theme was pajamas, some of the guests were spotted wearing formalwear at the afterparty.
Before and during the couple's festivities, there were
protests
against their wedding as well as their visit. The No Space for Bezos movement had placed signs, posters and graffiti all over Venice with the phrase, No Space for Bezos, to protest the billionaire businessman. They were specifically against the couple taking over Venice amid overtourism and climate change issues. They also called out, along with environmental organization Greenpeace, his wealth and carbon footprint.

Lighten Up: How I saved the day at the wedding of the century
I'm only just back from the Jeff Bezos wedding and have a head up on me like a fellow who spent the weekend in Lisdoonvarna. Craic? You have no idea. Drink? It flowed like cow's milk. The invitation came late. It got lost in the post, I'm told, and this is something I will have to bring up with An Post at a later date. This invitation was the most important thing to come through my letterbox in years. And I was damned if I was going to lose out. Anyhow, because I was invited at the last moment, sure I didn't have a suit lined up or anything. "Come as you are!" Jeff shouts down the line. "The party has begun already." He was on his boat at that stage, in the outskirts of Venice, I was only catching the ferry. I was a long ways from Venice, and Jeff was a long ways from Rosslare. I got there eventually, and Jeff was in his element. "Did you bring the ring?" he asked excitedly. "Of course I did," says I, and I showed him the one I had purchased from one of Cork's finest jewellers. "Boy golly," says he, "tis a right sparkler. My missus will love it. "I'll pay you later," he quipped, before grabbing the ring and putting it in his pocket. Tis no wonder he's one richest men in the world with this 'I'll pay you later' malarky. Anyhow, onto his boat we got, and I met all the glamorous people of the world. Dignitaries from across the globe and a few farmers too, soon I was feeling right at home. Shortly after this, the priest climbed on board. I hauled up his truck of tricks, containing his vestments and so on. I did all this, for nobody else could be bothered. Soon, Mass got under way, and by the time we got to the wedding ceremony bit, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. And this wasn't because of tears. No, It was only because the sea had gotten very rough and water was coming on board by the new time. T'was like standing beside a busy sheep-dipping tank, only without the smell. The man steering the ship had seen better days too, and was in dire need of a rest, so I took charge of the vessel and quickly steered her into less choppy waters. A fancy yacht is no different from a Massey or a Zetor. Once you know where the handbrake is, you're away. The boat was also in dire need of an oil and filter change too and many nipples also needed greasing. And I did all this in my spare time. In due course, the priest blessed the happy couple. The ring was found, confetti was flung, and soon we were all dancing merrily and drinking solidly. And because I had found such a fine, calm patch in which to drop anchor, very few on board were sick like dogs. "Denny boy," says Jeff at the end of the night, with a tear in his eye, "I don't think I could have done it without you." "Of course you couldn't," says I, "For you don't know the first thing about steering a ship in choppy waters. Being a farmer from West Cork prepares you for every eventuality," I told the billionaire. Oh I only wish I were a farmer from west Cork," he then sobbed, "And not one of the richest men in the world." "Well, you can't have everything Jeff," I stressed before steering the ship back to the quayside, rounding off the wedding of the century to perfection.
