Bezos Sanchez Wedding Draws A-List Guests, Matteo Bocelli Performs Venice

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are set to marry in a lavish, star-studded wedding in Venice, Italy, attended by numerous celebrities including Leonardo DiCaprio and his girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, and Jared Kushner. The wedding will feature a performance by Matteo Bocelli, son of famed tenor Andrea Bocelli, who has previously performed at high-profile weddings such as those of Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker. The event, expected to host 200-250 guests, has attracted protests from local groups who criticize the extravagance and impact on Venice's cultural soul, resulting in a change of venue for security reasons. The couple's nuptials, planned for several days, are described as grand and fun, with comparisons made to the scale of Princess Diana's wedding. Despite the opulence, some dissent remains, with environmental activists highlighting concerns over the billionaire's tax contributions. The couple's engagement was marked by a proposal aboard Bezos' $500 million yacht, featuring a 30-carat diamond ring.
