Bezos’ Venice Wedding Plans Met with Skepticism from City Officials

Venice has confirmed it will host Jeff Bezos’ wedding, but claims reports of celebrity invasion and disruptions were unfounded. The billionaire’s fiancée Lauren Sanchez is expected to join him in the Italian city for a three-day celebration, starting between June 24-26. Contrary to initial media reports, only 200 guests are invited, according to the city. In fact, officials say this event will have minimal impact on daily life in Venice, citing previous experiences hosting large international events such as G20 and G7 summits, Architecture and Cinema Biennales, and private VIP weddings. Mayor Luigi Brugnaro has assured residents and tourists that the city’s priority is to maintain normal functioning while ensuring the wedding respects its unique beauty and fragility.
