Jeff Bezos, the Amazon billionaire, is all set to get married to his longtime girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez, on June 27, 2025. The wedding celebrations have already begun, with a destination wedding set in the romantic, fragile heart of Venice. As the multi-day affair kicked off on June 24, Ivanka Trump, US President Donald Trump's daughter, reached the venue early Tuesday for the most-awaited wedding of the year.?
The daughter of the US president was spotted with her husband, Jared Kushner, and their three children. The family was captured boarding a water taxi in the Italian lagoon city that will serve as the backdrop for Bezos's lavish second wedding.?
According to a report in TMZ, Ivanka Trump and family are likely to stay at the five-star Aman Venice hotel. The wedding is set within a lavish 16th-century palazzo along the Grand Canal. This renowned hotel famously hosted George and Amal Clooney¡¯s wedding in 2014.
A Reuters report suggested that the wedding party for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sanchez, which is going to take place in Venice this week, has been moved to an isolated, less accessible part of the lagoon city for security concerns and to prevent the risks of the ongoing protests.?
The billionaire tech tycoon and his fianc¨¦e had earmarked a new location in Cannaregio to celebrate after their marriage, which is a popular and central nightlife area; however, there are fears of demonstrations that led to a change of plan, the report added.
Demonstrations opposing the wedding have continued for weeks, as activists argue that the exclusive event for around 200 guests will put additional strain on the delicate ecosystem of a city already struggling with the impacts of overtourism.
Now the wedding will take place at a hall of Arsenale, a vast 14th-century complex in the eastern Castello district.?
Arsenale is a historic complex of old shipyards and armouries in Venice that is enriched by water and becomes inaccessible by land when its connecting bridges are lifted. This makes it a more secure venue than Cannaregio¡¯s Scuola Grande della Misericordia, a medieval former religious institution.
