Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez wedding
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are in Venice for their wedding celebration. The three-day ceremony will kick start on Thursday. Kim Kardashian, Ivanka Trump, Orlando Bloom, Diane von Furstenberg and Tom Brady are among the high-profile guests set to attend the event.
Ahead of the wedding, Venice has been turned into a "fortress-like operation”, as per People. The measures include 20 security personnel around Chiesa della Madonna dell’Orto, one of the key venues for the celebrations. A wedding party set to take place on June 28 at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, a medieval former religious school, has been moved to a new venue due to security concerns. Guests are staying in Venice's finest hotels and will receive gift bags featuring Venetian glass and local sweets.
