Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is reportedly set to tie the knot with his long-time beau Lauren Sanchez in Venice this summer. Several A-listers, including President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka, Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Oprah Winfrey have been invited to the gala, TMZ reported citing sources. Neither Bezos nor the reported invitees have issued a statement yet.

The nuptials will reportedly take place in Venice, on Bezos' $500 million megayacht, Koru, anchored in the Venetian Lagoon.

However, the celebration will start weeks before. Bezos, in an apparent pre-wedding gift to Sanchez, is taking her to space aboard his Blue Origin rocket. Last month, the space company announced that Gayle King, Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez will join three other women on its next mission.

The 11th crewed flight, with an all-women crew, will board the New Shepard rocket. The exact date for their travel is not revealed yet. NBC News reported that a ticket for the ride goes into six digits.

DailyMail columnist Alison Boshoff cited local media sources to report that Bezos' wedding will be an extravagant affair. “The event… will take place aboard their $500 million mega yacht Koru, anchored in the Venetian Lagoon,” she quoted a local source, as saying.

However, the report further noted that other sources said that the massive ship would only function as a water taxi. Per the Daily Mail, one ‘perfectly placed friend’ insisted, “I promise you the wedding is not on the boat.”

“All the money in the world cannot change those regulations. There’s no way that you want to wake up in Venice and not be looking out onto the Grand Canal," one person explained, according to the Daily Mail.

Giving more details, Boshoff added that the 'two of the city's best hotels', the Gritti Palace and the seven-star Aman are both booked out completely from June 26 to June 29.
