Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez Dissed by Another Tech Company After the Amazon Founder's ‘Atrocious' Wedding Detail—No ‘Taste or Class'
Just a day before their wedding, their wedding invite was obtained by ABC News. 'We're excited for you to join us! We have one early request: please, no gifts,' it read on a plain white background with some Venice inspired graphics that looked like clip art. 'Instead, we're making contributions in your honor and with gratitude to you for making the journey to celebrate with us in Venice.'

The invite also added that they would not be accepting any gifts, but guests were invited to donate to a charity. 'Donations on your behalf are being made to the UNESCO Venice Office to safeguard the city's irreplaceable cultural heritage, to CORILA to restore the lagoon habitats that protect Venice's future, and to Venice International University to support research and education for sustainable solutions,' it continued.The couple concluded their invite. 'This magical place has gifted us unforgettable memories. Our hope is that through these efforts and by you joining us, Venice will continue to inspire wonder for generations to come.'
Right when the invite was leaked, people took to social media to shade the Amazon billionaire and former journalist for the design. 'was the invitation made in microsoft paint? 😭😭,' one person wrote on X. 'imagine being a multi multi billionaire and this is the design of your wedding invite. something a 15 year-old made on canva,' another joked. 'That invite is atrocious. Obviously, money can't buy taste or class,' one person criticized. Many people also joked that they would be giving an Amazon gift card in lieu of a gift.
Adobe Express, the graphic design app made by the same company that makes Photoshop, also gave the wedding card new life with a new redesign that included a background of the Italian city and script typography. 'I know you said no gifts, but… it really only took us a couple minutes. XOXO, Adobe Express,' they captioned the post. The general consensus from the people in the comments was that their version was a 'masterpiece' compared to the original.
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding has garnered a lot of controversy by Venetian residents and global citizens. 'This wedding is causing much friction, especially because it is happening at a time when Venice, already invaded by uncontrolled tourism, is completely worn out,' Giovanni Andrea Martini, a councillor for the opposition told The Guardian.
The cost of the wedding was expected to cost 40 million to 48 million euros ($47 million to $56 million), according to Luca Zaia, president of the Veneto region. The A-List wedding guests, which included the likes of Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, and Orlando Bloom, stayed at the St Regis near St Mark's Square, which can rack up a room for more than 4,000 euros.

Danny DeVito reveals actress daughter Lucy got married: 'It was very emotional'
Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman's eldest daughter Lucy DeVito has tied the knot! The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel actress, 42, got married to her partner on June 28, Entertainment Weekly has learned. Danny had nothing but positive things to say about the ceremony in a recent interview with PEOPLE, describing the big day as an 'amazing' and 'wonderful' experience. 'We just had a good time,' Danny told the outlet. 'You make the speech and the whole thing. It was very emotional and really cool." The Always Sunny actor also noted that Lucy and her husband prefer to keep their private lives to themselves, but that the couple is 'very happy.' He also noted that the newlyweds are also the proud parents of a son named Carmine. "They already have the bundle of joy," he added. "It was a supreme highlight of my life." A true father-daughter duo, Danny and Lucy have frequently collaborated with one another on television projects like FXX's animated series Little Demon and onstage in the 2023 Broadway production of Theresa Rebeck's play, I Need That. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly ahead of the play's opening night, Danny expressed his excitement over getting to see his daughter make her Broadway debut from right onstage next to her. 'She's a wonderful actress and a great kid and we have a good time together,' he said at the time. 'We've been working together for a couple years now on things that we put together producing at [DeVito's production company] Jersey Films. We're developing a lot of things now.' In addition to Lucy, Danny and Rhea also share daughter Grace 'Gracie' Fan DeVito and son Jacob 'Jake' Daniel DeVito. While the couple has gone their separate ways since they originally tied the knot in 1982, they remain a strong family unit. "We're still separated, but we see each other often, and we're still a family," Perlman told PEOPLE in 2022. "We can do things together, we can do things separately. I'm really, really glad that Danny and I were able to navigate some rough days to be able to have this different kind of relationship. I think it's pretty rare, but we agree on so many things that it makes sense." Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Casino Royale star Caterina Murino pregnant at 47
Former Bond girl Caterina Murino has revealed she is expecting her first child at 47. She has confirmed she is pregnant with a baby boy, due in September, the same month she will turn 48. The Italian actor also revealed she has suffered two heartbreaking miscarriages and a gruelling IVF journey in a bid to become a mum. Murino, who has been in a relationship with French lawyer Edouard Rigaud for eight years, admitted the road to motherhood hasn't been easy. "At my age, I had to ask medicine to help nature," she said, referring to the IVF treatment she underwent. She added: "You don't always decide when the right time to become a mother comes." The star bravely spoke about her previous miscarriages and described her fertility journey as "trying", but said she is now looking forward to the new chapter with joy and gratitude. Murino shot to global fame in 2006 when she starred as a Bond girl alongside Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. She played Solange, one of three women whom Bond seduces, before she is tortured to death later in the film. Murino most recently starred as Olga Sakiris in Amazon Prime's Escort Boys.
