Jeff Bezos And Lauren Sanchez's Wedding Date Confirmed As Guests Prepare To Arrive In Venice
After months of speculation, reports have emerged confirming the date of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Venice wedding.
Previously, it was rumored that the date was between June 24 and June 29. Now, the precise date has been revealed, and it would occur on the island of San Giorgio.
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have reportedly rented out the island for the festivities, and private vessels have been secured for logistical arrangements.
Ahead of Bezos and Sanchez's nuptials later this month, a source has confirmed what date the couple will exchange vows.
Speaking with the Daily Mail, the insider claimed that the lovebirds picked June 27, which falls between the previously rumored timeline of June 24 to June 29.
The exact location also appears to be Venice's San Giorgio, one of the most prestigious islands in the city and home to a 16th-century Benedictine church of the same name.
Already, the couple is said to have rented out the island for six days, during which no visitors will be allowed.
Meanwhile, off the coast of the island, Bezos's $500 million superyacht Koru will be moored all through the festivities.
Although it is unclear what role the 127 m-long vessel will play during the festivities, the soon-to-be couple has secured a private tender service and other vessels to carry guests to and from Koru, as well as to cater to other logistical arrangements.
Beyond the wedding date confirmation, the source also revealed that the couple has two other high-profile events planned as part of their wedding festivities.
They claimed that the duo set aside June 26 for a gala at a private cloister along the iconic Lid, potentially at Chiostro della Madonna dell'Orto.
The soon-to-be couple is said to have also made plans for a lavish party on June 28 at a palazzo or church.
There, guests will possibly be treated to an array of pastries, as suggested by prior reports that Bezos and Sanchez enlisted the services of local bakery Rosa Salva Venetia.
The bakery is renowned for making treats such as tiramisu, cream-filled flaky pastries, and fritelle, a traditional Italian fried delicacy.
When the festivities are over, guests will reportedly receive handcrafted glassware made by a local artisan brand, Laguna B, as a souvenir.
According to the Daily Mail, the glass pieces come in a variety of motifs and designs, featuring bright colors, stripes, and floral patterns.
One large-sized cup from the collection retails for $167, although it is unclear how much the soon-to-be couple paid to have the gift item made for their guests.
Alongside this glassware, guests will also receive other "opulent" gifts for attending the $7 million wedding.
What these gifts are remains unclear, but fun designer purses could be among them, as Sanchez is a fan of these luxurious items.
It is expected that guests will begin to arrive in Venice over the next few days for the upcoming nuptials.
Bezos and Sanchez chose to keep their invitee list moderate, with 200 being the number of guests expected.
The list comprises friends, family, and business partners of the couple, including names such as Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, and even members of the Trump family, who are already rumored to be on the list.
These guests have reportedly booked accommodations in most of the top hotels in the city. This includes The Aman Venice, where rooms cost over $2,700 per night, and Hotel Cipriani, which, though slightly less expensive, still comes in at a steep $2,000 per night.
As for Bezos and Sanchez, they are said to have reserved the Grand Canal Suite at the five-star Aman Venice at a whopping $11,600 per night.
"[It is] the biggest they have, and it's the talk of the hotel," a source told The Sun. "The room is spectacular and even has access to a rooftop terrace overlooking the city.
Bezos proposed to Sánchez in May 2023, years after their public debut as a couple in January 2019.
Before their relationship, Bezos was married to MacKenzie Scott for 25 years, while Sánchez was with her former husband, Patrick Whitesell.
Though the pair is often seen on Bezos's yacht or enjoying extravagant getaways, Sánchez told People Magazine in August that their happiest moments are usually the simplest.
"My favorite time is when the house is calm and quiet, and Jeff and I are deciding what show we're going to binge that night," Sánchez said.

Bayesian yacht taken to Sicilian town for full investigation into sinking
Tech tycoon Mike Lynch's superyacht has been taken to the town where British and Italian investigators will carry out a full probe into the sinking. Seven people died when the Bayesian sank off Sicily on August 19 including billionaire Mr Lynch, 59, and his daughter Hannah, 18. The vessel was held above the water by one of Europe's most powerful floating sea cranes, which set off from the fishing village Porticello at around 1.10pm local time. It was held in front of the crane as it moved. The vessel arrived in Termini Imerese, a town around 12 milies away at just after 3pm on Sunday. It will then be moved into a specially manufactured steel cradle, which has a tarpaulin underneath for pollution prevention. Salvage workers on site, not accompanying the vessel to port, are conducting a 'full sweep' of the seabed near Porticello for any potential debris, a project insider said. Italian prosecutors previously said raising and examining the yacht for evidence would provide key information for its investigation into the sinking. It will also aid the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) report on what happened. Simon Graves, an MAIB investigator, previously told the PA news agency: 'When the wreck is brought ashore, we'll be completing a full examination of the wreck and we'll be finding out all of the elements that might have contributed to the safety of the vessel.' Further details such as 'escape routes' will be included in its final report on the sinking, according to Mr Graves, who added: 'Once we get access to the vessel we'll be able to tell a fuller picture of activities on board and the sequence of events.' The vessel was originally expected to be raised last month but salvage efforts were delayed after a diver died during underwater work on May 9, prompting greater use of remote-controlled equipment. About 70 specialist personnel had been mobilised to Porticello from across Europe to work on the recovery operation. Inquest proceedings in the UK are looking at the deaths of Mr Lynch and his daughter, as well as Morgan Stanley International bank chairman Jonathan Bloomer, 70, and his wife, Judy Bloomer, 71, who were all British nationals. Fifteen people, including Mr Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, were rescued. Mr Lynch and his daughter were said to have lived in the vicinity of London and the Bloomers lived in Sevenoaks, Kent.
