On June 27, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos married former television anchor Lauren Sánchez in a lavish ceremony that turned the historic canals of Venice into a backdrop for what many are calling the “wedding of the century.” But while the couple’s big day dazzled with star power and opulence, public reactions have been mixed.
The three-day celebration reportedly cost around $56 million and brought together an exclusive list of about 200 high-profile guests. Among those in attendance were Kim Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brady, Bill Gates, and members of the Jenner and Trump families. The setting? A romantic and historic city, transformed temporarily into a private haven for some of the world’s most recognizable faces.
