How lavish will the wedding be?
The wedding, which includes Bezos’ $500 million yacht, will create a new luxury benchmark.
Given the astounding details, George Clooney’s wedding will seem like a small affair in comparison to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding in Venice.
The couple has finally decided on a date, and according to a number of reports, the wedding of the century will take place in Venice at the end of June and will be a magnificently romantic event.
Lauren Sanchez famously said that she “kind of blacked out” for a moment when the second-richest man in the world gave her a $2.5 million (£1.9 million) diamond ring in 2023.
They are prepared to get married in a way that will blow everyone away now that they have a prenuptial agreement in place.The bride has disclosed that she has already selected her gown, which is believed to be from Oscar de la Renta, with advice from Anna Wintour, the head of Vogue.

Which celebrities will be in attendance?
The city of Venice is already making arrangements for a grand influx of VIPs, with its water taxi fleet said to have been booked to ferry guests, as per a report by the Daily Mail.
President Trump, movie star Leonardo DiCaprio, fellow business magnate Bill Gates, and chat show host Oprah Winfrey are among the anticipated guests who are friends of the groom, as per a report by the Daily Mail.
It’s also likely that billionaire media tycoon Barry Diller and fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg will be invited.
Kim Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, singer Barbra Streisand, Queen Rania of Jordan, and of course, La Wintour, are among the bride’s friends who are anticipated to attend the wedding.
The celebration will be so large that it will make George Clooney’s extravagant 2014 wedding in the Italian city, which included Cindy Crawford, Matt Damon, and Emily Blunt, seem like a church hall get-together over sausage rolls.
Will Bezos’s $500 million yacht host the ceremony?
It has been reported from Italy that the wedding may take place on Bezos’s $500 million (£386 million) yacht Koru.
“The event… will take place aboard their $500 million mega yacht Koru, anchored in the Venetian Lagoon,” according to a local report from yesterday.
Other reports, however, claim that the yacht is only “involved” in the festivities, possibly taking visitors on outings during the festivities. “I promise you the wedding is not on the boat,” a friend who was in the right place said last night, as per a report by the Daily Mail.
A yacht of that size would have to anchor out around the Arsenale area, which isn’t the most picturesque part of the city, due to rules meant to protect it.
One observer remarked, “Those regulations cannot be changed by all the money in the world.” “It is impossible to wake up in Venice and not be able to see the Grand Canal.”
Sanchez will lead an all-female crew of six, including pop singer Katy Perry and TV anchor Gayle King, on a space voyage in May aboard her fiancé’s rocket, the New Shepard.
When Sanchez returns to Earth, she will follow tradition and marry under Bezos’s last name.
As the wedding date draws near, one thing is sure—this will be an experience to remember, a new standard for billionaire excess.
