Such a nuisance: Venice braced for Bezos's wedding ceremony
The Guardian
|March 29, 2025
When George and Amal Clooney tied the knot in Venice in 2014, bringing the lagoon city to a standstill by blocking off the Grand Canal and filling its narrow alleys with celebrities and paparazzi, Venetians embraced the spectacle, proud to flaunt once again their hometown's beauty and romance.
But news this week that Venice will host the nuptials of Jeff Bezos, the billionaire founder of Amazon, and Lauren Sanchez, a former TV journalist, has not quite been met with the same reception.
The seed for the three-day event, due to take place between 24 and 26 June, was reportedly planted by the Italian fashion designer Domenico Dolce, who last year mentioned to Morris Ceron, chief of staff at Venice's council, that the couple were on the hunt for a magical destination to get married.
According to reports in the Italian press, wedding planners have fully booked five of Venice's plushest hotels and reserved almost the entire fleet of the city's water taxis as well as a dock for Bezos's mega-yacht. Hundreds of guests are expected, possibly including the US president, Donald Trump.
