Billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sanchez have tied the knot in a lavish and star-studded wedding in Venice, Italy.
The couple exchanged their vows on Friday, on the small island of San Giorgio, opposite St Mark’s Square, in front of VIP guests including the Kardashians, Orlando Bloom and Oprah Winfrey.
Sanchez, 55, posted a picture of herself on Instagram where she beamed in a white gown as she walked arm in arm with Bezos.
She captioned it with the date of the nuptials, namely 27 June 2025, followed by a heart emoji.
She also posted pictures of her in the classic mermaid-line gown, which featured Dolce & Gabbana’s signature Italian lace.
A traditional tulle-and-lace veil completed her look.
“Not just a gown, a piece of poetry,” she wrote on Instagram on the second day of the couple’s three-day celebrations.

Bezos, his now-wife and their famous guests have taken over numerous locations in the city, with the couple staying in the luxury Aman hotel, where rooms go for at least €4,000 per night.
While the couple and their A-list guests were all smiles, some in Venice are not happy about the wedding – with protesters seeing it as an example of the city being gift-wrapped for ultra-rich outsiders.
