Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Emmy-winning journalist Lauren Sánchez officially exchanged vows yesterday, Friday, June 27, in a star-studded black-tie ceremony on the picturesque island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy. PEOPLE confirms the highly anticipated nuptials, which followed their engagement in May 2023.
The couple’s multi-day celebration in the Floating City culminated in the wedding, drawing a constellation of celebrity guests. High-profile attendees included Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Leonardo DiCaprio, Usher, and Tom Brady, among many others.
Sánchez wore a custom-designed corseted, mermaid-style wedding dress by Dolce & Gabbana, featuring hand-appliquéd Italian lace. The lavish festivities saw a last-minute change of venue for the ceremony from Scuola Grande della Misericordia due to security concerns amid local protests.
In a gesture of appreciation to their host city, Bezos and Sánchez reportedly sourced about 80% of their provisions from Venetian vendors and requested guests to make charitable donations to the city of Venice instead of traditional wedding gifts, highlighting their commitment to the city’s preservation.
