Jeff Bezos’ wedding with Lauren Sanchez is going viral and not for all the right reasons. After the ‘No Space for Bezos’ protests in Venice, another issue has caught the eye of internet users: their wedding invitation, which has been dubbed “ugly” and “atrocious” online. The invite, obtained by ABC News, asks guests to forgo gifts for the billionaire couple. Its design features a collage of butterflies, feathers, birds, and shooting stars in shades of pink and blue set against a stark white background.
