After months of speculation, it looks like Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are finally ready to tie the knot.
The billionaire Amazon founder and his former TV anchor fiancée have set their wedding date, and sources confirm it will be nothing short of spectacular.
The much-anticipated ceremony is set to take place in Venice at the end of June, and it’s already being called the wedding of the century.
From Frugality to Luxury: Bezos’s Transformation
Back in the day, Jeff Bezos was known for his frugality. When he became a billionaire in 1997, he celebrated by upgrading his old Chevy to a Honda Accord. But times have certainly changed.
Since his divorce from MacKenzie Scott, Bezos has been living a very different lifestyle with Sanchez.
In 2023, the second-richest man in the world presented Sanchez with a stunning $2.5 million diamond ring, which she later joked was so large that it made her “black out” for a moment.
The Wedding Preparations and Star-Studded Guests
The couple has reportedly chosen a stunning Oscar de la Renta dress for Sanchez, with none other than Vogue’s Anna Wintour lending her expertise.
Wintour, who guided Sanchez for the Met Gala in 2023, has clearly become an integral part of the wedding preparations.
The guest list will be a who’s who of the elite, with President Trump, Leonardo DiCaprio, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, and Diane von Furstenberg all expected to attend.
On Sanchez’s side, Kim Kardashian, Barbra Streisand, Queen Rania of Jordan, and, of course, Anna Wintour are all anticipated guests.
A Celebration Like No Other
This wedding is shaping up to be an extravagant affair, potentially surpassing even George Clooney’s 2014 wedding in Venice.
Local reports hint that Bezos’s $500 million yacht, Koru, may play a significant role in the celebrations.
While the yacht is certainly a massive luxury vessel, it seems it may only be involved in the festivities rather than hosting the actual wedding ceremony.
The city of Venice, known for its strict regulations, likely means the couple will host the event at one of the city’s luxury hotels.
Venice: A Romantic Destination with Meaning
The couple’s choice of Venice is no accident. They’ve visited the city numerous times during their relationship, and it holds a special place in their hearts.
The event promises to be a defining social gathering of 2025, with the city preparing for an influx of VIPs and securing top luxury hotels for the occasion.
The Gritti Palace and the seven-star Aman hotel are already fully booked for the end of June, adding to the sense of exclusivity and grandeur surrounding the event.
Sanchez’s Space Flight and Bezos’s Loving Remarks
Before the wedding, Sanchez will take part in a groundbreaking space flight in May, leading an all-female crew on an 11-minute sub-orbital journey aboard Bezos’s New Shepard rocket.
After returning to Earth, she’ll embrace her future as Lauren Sanchez Bezos.
The couple, who have been together since Bezos’s divorce, continue to express their deep affection for one another.
Bezos has often praised Sanchez’s big heart and generosity, while she has described him as the most loving person she knows.
A Love Story with a History of Public Interest
Sanchez has had her fair share of high-profile relationships, including with sports stars and Hollywood figures before she met Bezos.
However, her romance with the Amazon mogul has been the subject of much public scrutiny, particularly following their respective divorces.
The two have now created a life together, living in multiple luxury homes, including a massive mansion in Los Angeles, bought by Bezos from David Geffen for $165 million.
The Upcoming Wedding: A Global Spectacle
As the world eagerly awaits the big day in June, Sanchez says she’s looking forward to becoming Mrs. Bezos.
For now, they’re focused on family life, but with all eyes on them, their wedding will certainly be an unforgettable spectacle.
With so much opulence and star power in store, it’s safe to say that this will be the wedding everyone talks about for years to come.
