Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez marry in Venice

Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos married Lauren Sanchez in a lavish ceremony on Friday in Venice's San Giorgio Maggiore island. Sanchez first stepped out from the luxury Aman hotel the couple were staying at, wearing a skirt suit, and Bezos followed some two hours later. Sanchez's wedding dress was still kept under wraps at the time she hopped onto a motorboat from her hotel, but she later revealed the dress on her newly branded Instagram page with the name: Lauren Sanchez Bezos. The former journalist reportedly has 27 outfits prepared for festivities over three days, with Dolce & Gabbana having been the fashion house behind her wedding gown. Bezos wore a black tuxedo and a bow tie over a white shirt, as the official photo Sanchez shared on her Instagram photo showed. Bill Gates, Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey among some famous guests at wedding The interest around the power couple's wedding sent the media into a tizzy, with dozens of photographers having parked themselves in boats outside Aman, and other hotels where guests stayed. Papparazzi took photos of numerous VIP guests including Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, Jordan's Queen Rania, US football player Tom Brady, singer Usher and Ivanka Trump — the daughter of US President Donald Trump. Protesters flag taxes, cost-of-living and a massive carbon footprint Venice is one of the most iconic cities in the world, but it is also among the most vulnerable to rising sea levels caused by climate change.

Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' A-list guests run for cover as pre-wedding party is hit by huge freak thunderstorm

Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' A-list guests like Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner were forced to take cover on Thursday as the couple's pre-wedding party was hit by a huge freak thunderstorm. The lavish event held at the Madonna dell Orto cloisters marked the start of the billionaire couple's lavish three-day wedding in Venice, Italy, which will come to a close on Saturday. However, Thursday night's star-studded soiree was brought to an early end due to the intense downpour. Guests dived for cover under the vaulted cloisters as lightening bolts flashed across the sky and thunder rumbled overhead at the end of what was a torridly humid day with temperatures nudging 96.8° Fahrenheit. Torrential downpours and a strong wind left guests soaked as they then dashed for water taxis which had been scrambled a good 45 minutes ahead of the midnight finish time. The strong gusts of winds whipped table cloths away and sent waiters scurrying for umbrellas to protect the VIP attendees. Thursday night's star-studded soiree was brought to an early end due to the intense downpour; Sanchez and Bezos pictured leaving the party Torrential downpours and a strong wind left guests like Kim and Khloe Kardashian (pictured) soaked as they then dashed for water taxis which had been scrambled a good 45 minutes ahead of the midnight finish time One onlooker said: 'It just goes to show you can have all the money in the world but you cant control the weather - although an Italian saying says a wet bride is a happy and lucky bride.' Kim, 44, and her younger sister Khloe, 40, struggled to stay dry in their couture gowns as their security team guided them to their designated water taxi. Kylie, who is the younger half-sister of Kim and Khloe, reacted to the weather by sharing a photo of her rain-soaked water taxi to her Instagram Story. Bride-to-be Lauren was surrounded by tuxedo-clad gentleman carrying blue umbrellas over her as she carefully stepped on to her awaiting boat. The TV personality, 55, had on a striking off-the-shoulder dress with a dramatic gold corset cinching in her already tiny waist. Bezos, 61 — who popped the question in 2023 with a $3 million engagement ring — was seen following closely behind Lauren with an umbrella over his head. In footage obtained by Lauren appeared to be in high spirits despite the rain ending their soiree early. Once inside the water taxi, she was seen sharing a laugh with Bezos as the downpour intensified. Singer Ellie Goulding was also spotted standing out in the rain as she and a fellow guest waited patiently for their boat. Bezos and Sanchez are set to tie the knot on Friday, June 27 in Venice, Italy after a two-year engagement. The Amazon billionaire and his bride-to-be are said to have invited 200 people to their three-day Italian wedding. Along with Kim Kardashian, Ellie Goulding, Khloe Kardashian and Ivanka Trump, the star-studded guest list includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Mick Jagger, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom and Tom Brady. Earlier this week, a copy of the couple's invite was leaked with one very specific request made on behalf of the couple. They've asked guests not to buy them any presents and told them they'll be making donations to multiple charities working to stop Venice from sinking on attendees' behalf instead. Bezos is thought to be spending roughly $15 to $20 million on his and Sanchez's Italian nuptials. On Thursday, a source closely connected to the organization of the week's events revealed to exclusively that Bezos and Sanchez are already legally married. The lavish event held at the Madonna dell Orto cloisters marked the start of the billionaire couple's lavish three-day wedding in Venice, Italy, which will come to a close on Saturday 'They have been married for at least a month, more than a month. The marriage is fully legal and took place in America under American law,' the insider revealed. They added: 'When they were planning the wedding, they were clear about the fact that they were already secretly married. 'There is no application for a wedding license from the couple because it was not required. 'Whatever happens at the wedding on Friday, it will not be a wedding. Under Italian law, it will not be a wedding celebration, any vows said or rings exchanged will have no legal meaning.' The source also claimed that Jeff had personally confirmed that he and Lauren are already legally married, and that they had also signed a pre-nuptial agreement to protect his $244 billion fortune. Greenpeace and the UK-based collective Everyone Hates Elon have joined protests in Venice attempting to disrupt, or even prevent, the planned wedding celebrations of Amazon founder Bezos this week. ' Jeff Bezos is the second-richest man in the world yet is reported to pay a 1.1 percent true tax rate,' the two groups said in a joint statement. 'The multi-million-dollar wedding is reportedly happening over three days, with the wedding ring alone worth as much as $5million.' Guests dived for cover under the vaulted cloisters as lightening bolts flashed across the sky and thunder rumbled overhead A spokesperson from Everyone Hates Elon said: 'As governments talk about hard choices and struggle to fund public services, Jeff Bezos can afford to shut down half a city for days on end just to get married.' 'If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax,' one gigantic banner read in St. Mark's Square. Venice mayor Luigi Brugnaro and regional governor Luca Zaia have spoken out in favor of the nuptials, which have been dubbed, 'the wedding of the century,' pointing out that the celebrations are expected to bring $23-34million to local businesses. 'This is a city that handles 150,000 people a day,' Zaia told Italian daily Corriere della Sera. 'George Clooney, François-Henri Pinault and Salma Hayek, Alexandre Arnault, Elton John and many others got married here.' Bezos has also pledged to make sizable charity donations, including $1.16million to Corila - an academic consortium dedicated to studying Venice's lagoon ecosystem - according to Corriere della Sera and Italy's ANSA news agency. Earlier this month, anti-Bezos banners were hung in Venice from St. Mark's Tower with 'Bezos' in blue capital letters and a red X over it as part of a 'No Space for Bezos' campaign, a play on Bezos' Blue Origin spaceflight venture. More outrage was sparked Thursday as Bezos and Sanchez's wedding guests descended upon the Madonna dell Orto for the rain-soaked pre-party. The chaos caused by the star-studded event reportedly forced canals to shut down and tourists to cancel reservations in Venice. Her tweed Oscar de la Rente dress looked dangerously close to bridal white in the dim lighting The dress' skirt was a darker shade of pink that gradually lightened up the bodice until it was nearly white According to one business owner who runs a kayak renting service in the area, the bridges were 'closed off' to make way for Lauren, Jeff, and their guests, leaving customers unable to reach them. 'We had a party of clients booked for Thursday night. But they were unable to get through to us because the bridges were all closed off,' they shared. 'Despite them having booking, the police wouldn't let them pass. It was party of five Americans, and they had booked an hour and a half for $100 each and so we had to cancel. 'The party involved was on a tight schedule and couldn't rebook so we will have to refund them and so we have lost money.' In addition to the bridges, the Venice local claimed that the canals were also shut gown and that police on jet skis turned them around when they tried to get through. They added that there was 'no real notification from the council that the canal would be closed.' 'I don't begrudge [Jeff and Lauren] for getting married, but this has cost us money and of all the places in Venice they had to choose the one by us,' they added. Photos also showed police presence all over the Italian city, including officers on jet skis in the canals, as water taxis went back and forth taking Lauren and Jeff's guests from their hotels to the event.

Protesters held signs that read, 'We are the 99 percent we have the power,' 'the planet burns,' while someone even waved an extinction rebellion flag.

They hosted a drinks reception with a playlist of romantic music, blasting More Than A Woman by the Bee Gees. They then continued to play tunes like Nina Simone's I'm Feeling Good, Lovely Day by Bill Withers and Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison. Earlier that day, in the private garden of the hotel, which is surrounded by a 10ft brick wall, staff could be heard working to erect marquees, ready for a weekend of celebrations. They also put a VIP jetty up outside the Aman Hotel for guests to use when they arrived. Days before their Venice arrival, Sanchez and Bezos kicked off their wedding-week by throwing a rowdy foam party on board his $500million superyacht Koru on Sunday.

Bezos proposed to Sanchez on the same superyacht more than two years ago in 2023. While it's unclear when exactly they started dating, Lauren and Jeff's romance was first exposed by the National Enquirer in January 2019, while they were both married to their now-exes. Read More Bezos' best men! Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady and newly-single Orlando Bloom lead chic male guests Soon after it was revealed, the billionaire businessman divorced his wife of more than 25 years and the mother of his four children, Mackenzie Scott, while Lauren left her husband, Patrick. At the time, the bombshell report from the Enquirer claimed that Lauren and Jeff had been involved in an eight-month affair, which involved him 'whisking his mistress off to exotic destinations on his $65 million private jet, sending her raunchy messages and erotic selfies, and having secret rendezvous at palatial private estates.' The outlet said that it had tracked them 'across five states and 40,000 miles, tailing them in private jets, swanky limos, helicopter rides, romantic hikes, five-star hotel hideaways, intimate dinner dates and 'quality time' in hidden love nests.' Following the Enquirer's accusations, Jeff fired back by writing a lengthy essay to the publication's CEO, David Pecker, in which the mogul accused the company of blackmailing him. 'Rather than capitulate to extortion and blackmail, I've decided to publish exactly what they sent me, despite the personal cost and embarrassment they threaten,' he wrote. While Jeff and Lauren are set to say 'I do' in front of guests on Friday, a source revealed to this week that the couple are already married; seen in 2021 The A-list couple got engaged more than two years ago in 2023 '[After] intimate texts messages from me were published in the National Enquirer, I engaged investigators to learn how those texts were obtained, and to determine the motives for the many unusual actions taken by the Enquirer. 'We were then approached with an offer. They said they had more of my text messages and photos that they would publish if we didn't stop our investigation.' He shared alleged emails sent to him by Enquirer staffers, in which they described the racy images they had 'obtained during their newsgathering' in detail.

Jeff continued. 'Of course I don't want personal photos published, but I also won't participate in their well-known practice of blackmail, political favors, political attacks, and corruption. I prefer to stand up, roll this log over, and see what crawls out.' As for how Jeff and Lauren met, it was said that it was Lauren's husband Patrick who was the first to introduce the two at an Amazon studios party for the movie Manchester By the Sea in 2016. Her production team was then hired to film footage for Jeff's rocket company, Blue Origin, in 2018. 'Patrick and Lauren have socialized with Jeff Bezos and his wife for a few years, because both [former] couples have houses in Seattle,' a source told Page Six after their affair was brought to light.

She has been shooting aerial shots for Jeff.' Despite the start of their romance being shrouded in accusations of blackmail and extortion, cheating allegations, and an explosive affair, the couple did not let it defer them. In fact, after splitting from their respective partners, Jeff and Lauren didn't wait long to start flaunting their love all over the globe. They were seen for the first time together publicly in May 2019, when photographers caught them enjoying a romantic date night in New York City, and they made their first official appearance as a couple at Wimbledon that July. Since then, the couple has not tried to hide their romance, and for the last five years, they have continuously jetted off on a slew of lavish getaways together, shared tons of adorable, PDA-filled photos together on social media, gushed over one another nonstop in interviews, and attended a slew of star-studded events side by side.

Kim Kardashian's daughter North West, 12, has fans all saying the same thing about her viral video

Kim Kardashian 's tween daughter North West has gone viral for appearing in influencer Chris Smoove's latest video. The 12-year-old nepo baby, whose dad is controversy-plagued Kanye West, rocked her hair in knee-length blue braids and a gothic-inspired shirt, shorts, and sneakers. Chris, who's known for profiling celebrities and their designer threads, asked North how much her outfit cost, piece by piece. And she sent the internet into hysterics as she gave the same answer for each question: 'I don't know.' Fans convened in the comments section of the post, collectively agreeing that the youngster is 'just like' her famous father. 'Daddy's daughter,' one person wrote, along with a string of crying laughing emojis and one shrug emoji. Chris, who's known for profiling celebrities and their designer threads, asked North how much her outfit cost, piece by piece. And she sent the internet into hysterics as she gave the same answer for each question: 'I don't know' Someone else said North was 'Princess Yeezy Fasho,' referencing Kanye's popular clothing line. Another social media user declared, 'She definitely has her dad's personality for SURE.' 'She just like her daddy,' influencer Nick Yardy added.' North's interview echoed her dad's 2021 chat with Smoove, during which he answered 'I don't know' for most of the questions presented to him as he rocked an all-black ensemble. The Chicago-bred rapped did, however, divulge that the watch he was wearing at the time ran him $200,000. Chris captioned this week's video featuring North, 'How much is your outfit worth? North West Pulled a YE on me,' adding crying laughing emojis. It comes after the Kim and Kanye's firstborn of four children recently celebrated her June 15 birthday on a yacht in Mexico. Another social media user declared, 'She definitely has her dad's personality for SURE' In addition to North, the exes also share son Saint, nine, daughter Chicago, seven, and son Psalm, six. They were married from 2014 until the television star filed for divorce in February 2021. West moved on with busty Bianca Censori, 30, marrying her in December 2022, the month after his divorce was finalized. Together they're known for their outlandish public appearances, which often see the Australian architect scantily clad. Meanwhile, since leaving the YZY creator, Kim has been romantically involved with Pete Davidson, and linked to Tom Brady. The 44-year-old bombshell billionaire is currently in Italy, where she's enjoying Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding festivities. The bombshell billionaire was trolled on social media ahead of the weekend for making the Bezos wedding 'all about her' as she posted racy content to social media. The lavish celebration kicked off with pre-wedding festivities at the historic Madonna dell'Orto cloisters, where A-listers including Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, and Ivanka Trump mingled under candlelight. Some of Kim's famous family — Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and momager Kris Jenner — were also at the star-studded affair. But despite being surrounded by celebrities and an opulent setting, Kim couldn't seem to stay off her phone. She was spotted snapping selfies throughout the day — and in between her self-staged photo shoots, she slipped in a sizzling SKIMS promo, flaunting an animal print bikini on social media.

Scouted: I Tried the Same Biological Age Test as Kim Kardashian—Here Are My Thoughts

Scouted selects products independently. If you purchase something from our posts, we may earn a small commission. Longevity science is kind of hot right now, and I'm here for it. I recently downloaded the Death Clock app, which takes information about your personal health profile, inputted medical history, and lifestyle and compares it to stats from upwards of 1,200 longevity studies to predict, well… the day you'll die. As a seldom-drinker who walks at least 10,000 steps a day, does Pilates three days a week, nerds out on produce, and wants to be alive to meet my future grandchildren, I was pretty smug when my Death Clock results said I'd live to be 102. (For context, I'm a 36-year-old woman with two children.) So, the types of things in my feed include content by the likes of Bryan Johnson, tech-billionaire-turned-one-man-longevity-experiment (aka Don't Die Guy). Johnson was featured on a recent episode of The Kardashians. Kim Kardashian, who famously said she'd be willing to eat poop if it made her look younger (no shade, just respect), has a strong interest in longevity like Johnson—though the former is vanity-focused and the latter science-driven. On another Kardashians episode, Kim, her sister Khloé Kardashian, and their mother, Kris Jenner, took a biological age test. Kim (chronologically 44) had a biological age of 35, Jenner (now 69) was 62, and Khloé (40) had a biological age of 28. This piqued my interest. Biological age tells you how 'old' you are according to the current condition of biomarkers—think organs, cells, tissues, cholesterol, and proteins in the blood, to name just a few. On the other hand, chronological age is your actual age, counted from your date of birth. At-home biological age tests aren't to be taken too seriously and definitely shouldn't replace monitoring or medical advice from a healthcare provider, but they can give you a rough snapshot of where you stand. The idea is based on epigenetics, which studies how your environment and habits—including what you eat, how much you sleep, or how stressed you are—can affect how your genes behave, without changing your DNA. The test they took on the show was TruAge from TruDiagnostic, which tells you your biological age, rate of aging, and risk of mortality and major diseases. I got my hands on a kit of my own, eager to send in my blood sample and hopeful my results would tell me I'm 'in my 20s' like Khloé. The TruAge Test calls for a self-administered blood sample. Before getting started, you create an account and register your kit. It comes with two lancets for pricking your finger and a paper sample collection card. TruDiagnostic recommends taking your blood sample after at least 12 hours of fasting—ideally, first thing in the morning before food or coffee. It was harder and more time-consuming than expected to get enough blood out of my finger. You have to fill a quarter-sized circle with blood from edge to edge and get enough that it soaks through and appears red on the other side of the collection card. For me, this was at least 30 drops of blood. I ended up pricking a second finger when the first one stopped producing blood drops. (Kim probably had people to help her with this step.) The kit comes with a prepaid envelope to mail back the collection card. It says that once the lab receives your sample, your results will be available in two to three weeks. It was more like a month for mine—no biggie. My first thought upon getting my results was, Woah! That's a lot of information! OMICm Age: Scrolling down from the top of the comprehensive report, the first number is the OMICm Age, a biological age assessment developed with Harvard. It clocked me at 36.3. This is considered 'normal' and roughly my chronological age, albeit a smidge higher—at the time of this writing, I'm 36.06 years old. I was hoping I'd be 'younger,' but I suppose normal is acceptable. Most of my health data from this assessment was positive. My score appears to have been knocked down for low hemoglobin and hematocrit, related to red blood cells and oxygen in the blood. (This didn't come as a shock, as my hemoglobin was low with both of my pregnancies, during which I was advised to take an iron supplement.) TruDiagnostic says OMICm Age is 'the most accurate biological age clock.' Each blood sample is compared to that of Harvard research participants and other people who mail in the at-home test to 'emulate a population of average health.' It's hard not to assume that competitively healthy folks like myself are more inclined to do a bio-age test than the general population—and the website says nothing about being graded on a curve—so I took this number with a grain of salt and kept scrolling down. SYMPHONYAge: The next one offered better news, clocking me at 34.6. Developed by Yale, SYMPHONYAge analyzes 11 organs and bodily systems. Its algorithm takes data from around 8,000 participants and looks at over 130 biomarkers analyzed in your blood sample. DunedinPACE of Aging: More good news! Based on numerous blood cell counts that affect immunity and inflammation, I'm aging at a rate of 0.8, meaning for every birthday, my body is just eight-tenths of a year (9.6 months) 'older.' A pace of aging higher than 1.0 is associated with a 56 percent higher risk of death and a 54 percent greater chance of chronic disease in the next seven years. Whew! OMICm Fit Age: This test put me at 33.9. It tells you your biological age 'according to your physical fitness and functionality.' While this sort of assessment is usually done by measuring oxygen and taking a blood sample during or after exercise, the data here seems to be analyzed by several proteins and enzymes, along with other biomarkers detected in blood, like creatinine (a byproduct of creatine) and glucose. All in all, it looks like I'm in good shape. My report says all my organs are running smoothly. The only organ aging faster than my chronological age is my brain (37.1). Does this mean I'm smart or senile? (Don't answer that.) Other than that, my immunity and hormones could improve slightly. Based on my TruDiagnostic report and already healthier-than-average lifestyle, I chalk these up to low hemoglobin, mid-quality sleep, and what I believe are normal stress levels for a full-time working parent. Beyond adding an iron supplement to my routine, I'll work on getting better shut-eye and maybe finding a little more time to chill (easier said than done). TruDiagnostic provides general suggestions for improving one's biological age, including what types of food to eat, supplements to take, and lifestyle interventions. A majority of the pointers are accessible to most people and not exactly breaking news (things like eating lots of vegetables, prioritizing protein, getting enough sleep, and strength training). But one recommendation is to spend some time in a hyperbaric chamber. Thanks for the helpful rec, but I don't have the resources of Kim Kardashian or Bryan Johnson. My plan? Keep doing what I'm doing (regular movement, healthy eating, minimal sugar, daily vitamins, etc.). Although my results were mostly good, I'm feeling competitive with myself and want to take the test again in a year to see if I've improved. The TruAge Test is expensive—$500 for one kit. A pack of four is $998, which you could split with a partner or use over the course of a couple of years and save 50 percent per kit. The report is really robust. It's gleaned from substantial data, and each assessment is developed by researchers at Harvard, Duke, or Yale. TruDiagnostic seems pretty legit, and the experience was fascinating from a health and science perspective—if you're into that type of thing. I think I'd probably cough up $499 annually to stay motivated and keep tabs on my biomarkers. But the price is undoubtedly steep, so I'll keep my eyes peeled for sales. Pros: Estimates biological age and rate of aging. Comprehensive report based on 130+ biomarkers. Simple recommendations for improving various biomarkers. Developed by researchers at Harvard, Duke, and Yale. Biological age algorithms trained on large sample sizes (5,000 to 8,000 participants). Cons: Expensive. At-home blood sample collection was trickier than anticipated. May take longer than expected to get results.

Kim Kardashian trolled for posting racy bikini snaps live from Bezos wedding in shameless self-promo stunt

Kim Kardashian had fans in a frenzy as she seemingly made the 'wedding of the century' all about herself. The 44-year-old makeup mogul was among the celebrity guests attending billionaire tech titan Jeff Bezos ' $20 million wedding to Lauren Sánchez on Venice's San Giorgio Maggiore island Friday. The lavish celebration kicked off with pre-wedding festivities at the historic Madonna dell'Orto cloisters, where A-listers like Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, and Ivanka Trump mingled under candlelight. Even Kim's famous family members—Khloe, Kendall, Kylie, and momager Kris Jenner—were spotted at the star-studded affair. But despite being surrounded by A-listers and an opulent setting, Kim couldn't seem to stay off her phone. She was spotted snapping selfies nonstop throughout the day—and in between her self-staged photo shoots, she slipped in a sizzling SKIMS promo, flaunting an animal print bikini on social media. The 44-year-old makeup mogul was among the celebrity guests attending billionaire tech titan Jeff Bezos ' $20 million wedding to Lauren Sánchez on Venice's San Giorgio Maggiore island Friday That move didn't sit well with everyone, sparking a wave of backlash online. 'The obvious attention seeking is really off putting,' wrote one X user. Another referenced Kim's famous reality show and the Kardashian family's signature use of the letter K, posting, 'Keeping it Klassy.' One critic took aim at her outfit choice, dragging her for promoting a controversial brand. 'Still supporting disgusting Balenciaga while attending this wasteful climate nightmare event,' they wrote. Others compared Kim to Bianca Censori, the risqué-dressing wife of her ex-husband, Kanye West. 'Why is she cosplaying Bianca Censori?' one wrote. Another chimed in, 'I thought this was Bianca. I like Kim, in general, but this look just screams 'money can't buy class.' Meanwhile, Jeff and Lauren reportedly shelled out a staggering $20 million for their extravagant multi-day wedding bash. As guests arrived at the ultra-luxe event, they were welcomed by the stirring sounds of trumpets, violins, and a soulful Gospel choir. That same choir returned to belt out Whitney Houston's Higher Love right after the couple exchanged their vows, with guests cheering and singing along during the heartfelt moment. Opera singer Matteo Bocelli kicked off the wedding reception with a touching tribute, opening his set with the timeless Elvis Presley classic I Can't Help Falling in Love With You. The son of renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli stepped in since his father was tied up with concerts in southern Italy over the weekend. Earlier in the day, award-winning journalist Sanchez made a chic first appearance, stepping out of the five-star Aman Hotel in a sophisticated white Dior puff-sleeve suit, perfectly accessorized with a headscarf and oversized sunglasses. She also flashed a dazzling new giant diamond ring that caught plenty of attention. It was revealed last night that Jeff and Lauren had already legally tied the knot before today's official ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore island. The star-studded celebrations kicked off Thursday evening with a lavish welcome dinner at the Campo Della Madonna dell'Orto. However, the billionaire couple and their A-list entourage had to seek shelter when a sudden thunderstorm rolled in during the pre-wedding party. Lauren wowed in a shimmering $100,000 gown by Daniel Roseberry, featuring intricate embroidery of swirling vines and florals in rich blue, green, and gold tones over a champagne-colored base. To mark the grand occasion, the couple reportedly rented out multiple locations around the city. An insider told last week that San Giorgio Maggiore island is essentially 'off-limits to visitors' from June 24 through June 29. Originally, a massive party was scheduled for Saturday night at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, but local media report it has since been relocated to another venue in the Arsenale district.
