Lauren Sanchez, 55, and Jeff Bezos, 61, will be getting married this summer in Venice, Italy, the city’s mayor has confirmed
Luigi Brugnaro confirmed that the wedding will take place in one of the world’s most famous cities, which is visited by 20 million tourists each year.
The mayor also let slip that a relatively modest guest list of just 200 would watch the television star and Amazon mogul say ‘I do’.
The mayor did not confirm or deny the reported dates of June 24 to 26 for the nuptials.
A Who’s Who of business, media and entertainment are expected to attend, including Ivanka Trump, Gayle King, Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry, Eva Longoria and Oprah Winfrey.
Even the mayor seemed surprised that just 200 guests would be invited to the wedding, saying the city was used to handling far bigger events.
Fans and admirers of the couple were also surprised, reasoning they’d have invited at least 400 given how well connected both are and the fact Bezos is the second richest man in the world, with an estimated net worth of $355 billion.
However, the mayor said the limited numbers would prevent any serious disruptions to the famous coastal city during the wedding.
To put the guest number in perspective: When George Clooney threw his $5M wedding to Amal in Venice in September 2014, they had about 150 guests.
‘We are mutually working and supporting the organizers, to ensure that the event will be absolutely respectful of the fragility and uniqueness of the city,’ Mayor Luigi Brugnaro said in his statement.
‘The many speculations and fake news circulating about Jeff Bezos’ wedding are completely unfounded,’ the city mayor added.
Bezos and Sánchez went public with their relationship in 2019 and got engaged in May 2023.
