Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's Star-Studded Italian Wedding: What We Know

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, who went public with their relationship in 2019, are preparing for what's being dubbed a potential "wedding of the century." After getting engaged in May 2023 during a vacation in the South of France aboard Bezos's $500 million superyacht, Koru, the couple is planning a summer 2025 celebration in Italy.

The Venue and Logistics:

While the 415-foot Koru yacht, featuring a wooden sculpture resembling Sánchez, is involved, reports suggest strict Venice regulations might prevent it from being the sole venue due to its size. Instead, it may anchor nearby, with guests potentially staying in Venice's most luxurious hotels, like the Gritti Palace and Aman Venice (reportedly fully booked for late June at rates starting from $3,200 per night). A fleet of water taxis is expected to shuttle guests around the iconic canals.

The Guest List:

The guest list is shaping up to be a who's who of entertainment, business, and media. Confirmed and reported invitees include:

The couple’s children from previous relationships are also expected to attend.

The Engagement:

Bezos proposed with a stunning, large pink diamond ring, estimated to be around 30 carats and potentially worth over $2.5 million. The proposal took place on the Koru, which itself signifies new beginnings, referenced by its Māori name and the figurehead.
