Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s grand wedding:

The couple is expected to marry in a star-studded event in Venice, Italy. However, they reportedly had to make last-minute adjustments following massive protests by the locals.

According to Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro, 200 guests will attend the event. The couple requested that guests refrain from bringing gifts.

“We are excited for you to join us! We have one early request: please, no gifts. Instead, we're making contributions in your honor and with gratitude to you for making the journey to celebrate with us in Venice. Donations on your behalf are being made to the UNESCO Venice Office to safeguard this city's irreplaceable cultural heritage, to CORILA to restore the vital lagoon habitats that protect Venice's future, and to Venice,” the invite read.

“This magical place has gifted us unforgettable memories. Our hope is that through these efforts and by you joining us, Venice will continue to inspire wonder for generations to come,” it added.
