Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Tie the Knot in Venice

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez finalized their marriage in a private ceremony, with Sánchez adopting the surname Lauren Sánchez Bezos shortly after the vows. She updated her Instagram with a single wedding photo, showing her holding hands with Bezos at their celebration.

Lauren wore a corseted lace Dolce & Gabbana gown featuring a mermaid silhouette and a traditional embroidered veil. Bezos complemented her in a classic black tuxedo with a bowtie. The couple posed for photos beneath a grove of trees, surrounded by high-profile guests including members of the Trump family, celebrities like Oprah, Leonardo DiCaprio, and others.

Sources confirmed they had already legally married in the U.S. following a multimillion-dollar prenuptial agreement. Despite hosting a lavish multi-day celebration on San Giorgio Maggiore island, they did not file for a civil marriage in Venice, as required by Italian law. An official noted it’s likely their marriage was already legally recognized in the U.S.

The wedding, estimated to have cost around $50 million, featured a guest list with notable figures and entertainment, including Matteo Bocelli singing Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” and a gospel choir performing Whitney Houston’s “Higher Love.”

Venice officials confirmed they did not request an official marriage or civil ceremony in Italy. The couple’s celebration was private and exclusive, with expectations of a post-wedding reception to follow.

The couple’s union was celebrated among a star-studded guest list, emphasizing its grandeur and significance.
