Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez wedding: Who’s on the guest list, including a Trump

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are preparing for a lavish wedding in the romantic heart of Venice, Italy.

Two years after Bezos proposed with a 30-carat ring during a dreamy European vacation, the couple is finally slated to say “I do,” starting 24 June.

Lauren Sanchez, who once anchored the news and now regularly headlines society pages, admitted that wedding planning has been more relatable than some might think.

“I have to say, I do have a Pinterest,” Sanchez joked in a November 2024 interview on Today. “I’m just like every other bride.”

“I think it’s gonna be like a Princess Di thing,” her brother, Paul Sanchez, told TMZ earlier this year. “It’s gonna be an amazing event. It’s gonna be star-studded and fun.”

Notably, after months of speculation about a possible $600 million Aspen wedding, Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro cleared the air, confirming that the ceremony will take place in his city.

“The many speculations and fake news circulating about Jeff Bezos’ wedding are completely unfounded,” Brugnaro told People Magazine in a statement, confirming that only 200 guests will attend.

“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.”
