Bezos-Sánchez wedding kicks off: Guest list, invitations, and first photos of the couple revealed

The canals of Venice just got a serious billionaire upgrade. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and former journalist Lauren Sánchez are tying the knot this weekend in a lavish, ultra-private celebration that’s already being dubbed “the wedding of the century.” From June 26 to 28, the floating city is playing host to not just lovebirds, but a glittering guest list that could rival any red carpet.

With secrecy tighter than a Prime delivery schedule, details of the multi day affair have been kept firmly under wraps, especially to avoid stirring up the already vocal protests against Venice’s never-ending influx of high-profile tourists. However, a few details have leaked, including a part of the wedding invite, which has raised quite a few eyebrows. Netizens ridiculed the card with many calling it “ugly,” “tacky,” and “an afterthought.”

However, it was not just the graphic design that triggered people; it was also the ‘no gifts, please’. Instead, Bezos and Sánchez requested that donations would instead be made on behalf of the guests to causes supporting Venice’s cultural and environmental preservation.

The wedding fever has officially gripped Venice as A-listers begin descending upon the city. With stars like the Kardashians and Oprah Winfrey already spotted by the paparazzi, the buzz is only building. And the guest list? Nothing short of iconic—expect appearances from global music royalty, tech titans, Hollywood legends, fashion moguls, and even real-life royalty. From billionaires to superstars, the who's who of the world are gathering to celebrate Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez in spectacular style.

But before FOMO hits anyone, let us whisk you away to Venice, where love, fashion, and fame collide—as we take you inside the Bezos-Sánchez wedding in pictures.
