The wedding of the year is getting closer. The magnate Jeff Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, will say “I do” in Venice towards the end of June, and, as details have been leaked, it promises to be an event that will surpass the other great Venetian celebrity wedding like that of the Clooneys in 2014.

The engagement itself had already caused a lot of talk. With a ring featuring a large 20-carat diamond valued, according to experts contacted by Page Six, the magnate’s proposal was made with a piece of jewelry that cost around 2.5 million euros. The proposal took place in Cannes, aboard Bezos’ yacht and during the famous film festival. “When I opened the box, I think I passed out a bit,” confessed the billionaire’s fiancée at the time.

What details are known about Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s luxurious wedding?
As for the dress, it was revealed that it has already been chosen. According to the Daily Mail, it could be a design by Oscar de la Renta, with a style somewhat less extravagant than what the former television presenter usually wears. The one responsible for this slightly more subtle choice is Anna Wintour, the worldwide content director of Vogue, among other positions, who also guided the future Mrs. Bezos on clothing matters for last year’s Met Gala.
The guest list is nothing short of glamorous when it comes to Hollywood’s ‘cream of the crop’. It is expected that actor Leonardo DiCaprio, magnate Bill Gates, presenter Oprah Winfrey, and even the President of the United States, Donald Trump, who the future couple attended the inauguration of his presidency, will be in attendance. Also expected to be present are media mogul Barry Diller and his wife, designer Diane von Fürstenberg.
On the bride’s side, big celebrities are also expected: Kim Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner; singer Barbra Streisand, Queen Rania of Jordan, and the aforementioned Anna Wintour.
Rumors have emerged suggesting that the ceremony could take place on Koru, Bezos’ yacht valued at over 460 million euros. However, a guest confirmed to Daily Mail that the wedding will not take place on the boat.
What is known is that two of the city’s super luxury hotels, the Gritti Palace and the Aman, do not have a single room available between June 26th and 29th. According to the British media, no representative of the mentioned accommodations wanted to make a statement. But a local website published the following: “Venice is preparing for the arrival of celebrities. The best luxury hotels in the city are already booked, and it is reported that the entire fleet of water taxis will be available to transport guests through the canals. The logistics point to a highly exclusive and perfectly coordinated celebration.”
