Eva Longoria misses pal Lauren Sanchez's star-studded wedding
About 200 guests - including a whole host of A-list celebrities and tech moguls - attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's wedding earlier today. Among them was Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brady, Leonardo DiCaprio, Usher, and more. But a few celebs were noticeably absent from the days-long festivities that the now-married couple hosted in Venice, Italy. Eva Longoria, who has been friends with Sanchez for more than 20 years - and even attended the former journalist's Paris bachelorette party earlier this year - was one of the celebrities who did not end up attending the wedding. Longoria was instead photographed on a beach in Spain (one of the countries her family splits its time in) just a few days prior to the wedding, and fans assumed she would be heading over to the festivities afterwards. But, while Sanchez and Bezos were saying 'I do,' Longoria not only wasn't in attendance but she was also reposting Instagram Reels of people discussing mass deportations occurring in the U.S. and how the government is targeting Latino communities. Longoria's lack of attendance comes as a surprise as she was gushing over the bride at her bachelorette party. 'I had to pop in and out, so I wasn't there as long,' she told People after the party. 'But yeah, it's so nice to celebrate love. It's just the best feeling in the world to be there and go, "Yay, love."' Longoria and Sanchez both have Mexican roots, something the actress emphasized when once ironically saying, 'In the Mexican culture, we never miss a baptism, a birthday, a baby shower, a wedding shower, a wedding. 'You must show up. Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble.' has contacted Eva's representatives for comment. But Eva wasn't the only no show among Sanchez's inner circle because Katy Perry, who was also in attendance at her bachelorette party, was another absentee. Perry's absence comes in the midst of a newly-announced breakup between her and Orlando Bloom - though rumors had been swirling about the couple going through rough times for quite some time prior. Perry and Bloom ended their relationship after being together for nine years. The ex-couple share four-year-old daughter Daisy Dove Bloom together. Bloom did happen to go to the wedding though, and was photographed hugging and greeting Kim Kardashian - another one of Sanchez's bachelorette squad - upon her arrival to Venice. Despite not attending, Perry showed her support to Sanchez by leaving a sweet message on her Instagram post sharing her wedding celebration outfit Sanchez also sent a sweet message back, saying 'We miss you Katy' While Longoria has not yet acknowledged her friend's wedding, Perry on the other hand did leave a sweet message on a picture Sanchez posted of one of her wedding looks. 'WAIT THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE LEWK,' Perry commented under the photo. Sanchez had returned the favor, commenting on one of Perry's Instagram posts: 'We miss you, Katy.' The left that comment in the midst of the three-day long festivities, including a pre-wedding dinner. Although it was revealed that the couple was already legally married, their wedding took place on June 27 and included live music by Matteo Bocelli. Sanchez and her husband will conclude the rest of their wedding celebration on Saturday, June 28.

Shuter's insiders revealed that the guests had to provide their credit card details while checking in at the wedding. One guest quipped, 'I nearly choked on my complimentary biscotti.' They continued, 'Jeff's worth $200 billion and they're worried I might take a Toblerone?' Another guest joked, 'We're not talking about rockstars trashing rooms. It's tech bros and second wives. Who's raiding the minibar?' The event pulled out all the stops in luxury, except when it came to the mini bar, where attendees reportedly had to pay for sparkling water and trail mix. Guests close to the couple flew in on private jets and stayed in lavish hotels. Planners Lanza and Baucina booked the hotels, indicating top-notch services for the guests.
