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.

The guest list is as glittery as expected. Celebs like Kim Kardashian, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, and Leonardo DiCaprio have all reportedly made their way to Venice. But one big name won’t be there: President Donald Trump.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Jeff Bezos has been making efforts to get closer to former President Donald Trump — possibly eyeing the unofficial role of Trump’s new tech-world confidant, a position once seemingly held by Elon Musk.
The 61-year-old billionaire has reportedly had two phone conversations with Trump in recent weeks. According to The Telegraph, Trump was also invited to the wedding but declined due to “scheduling conflicts.”
The White House confirmed the snub, though several members of the Trump family will still be in attendance, including Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, and Donald Trump Jr.
Back in 2019, Donald Trump took a public swipe at Jeff Bezos, mocking him as “Jeff Bozo” in a jab aimed at The Washington Post, which Bezos owns.
Despite its reputation as a left-leaning publication, The Washington Post notably chose not to endorse Kamala Harris in last year’s presidential election—marking a break from its longstanding tradition of backing Democratic candidates.
