Jeff Bezos is set to say “I do” to Lauren Sanchez in a glamorous ceremony in Venice, Italy this weekend — but the road to the altar hasn’t been without drama.
The billionaire Amazon founder and his fiancée have kicked off what’s believed to be a five-day wedding celebration, with the big day reportedly happening tomorrow, June 28. Despite the festivities already underway, the couple had to make last-minute changes after their original wedding venue was met with loud opposition from protestors.

Local activists, identifying themselves as the group “No Space for Bezos,” have been protesting the wedding, citing concerns over overtourism in Venice. The city, already grappling with its fragile infrastructure and rising tourist traffic, has become a symbolic battleground for those opposed to billionaires holding extravagant events in vulnerable historic locations.
The backlash was enough to force Bezos and Sanchez to switch venues — though their luxurious European celebration is still in full swing, with high-profile guests continuing to arrive.
