It’s hard to find someone not talking about Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and journalist Lauren Sánchez’s upcoming wedding in Italy. With just days to go until the big event, the celebration already has it all: a jaw-dropping budget, an A-list guest list, and, of course, a swirl of controversy. For weeks now, tensions have been simmering in Venice, where locals have been protesting the high-profile event could distrupt the city’s daily life. And it seems those worries may have forced a major change of Bezos-Sánchez wedding plans.
While details of the billionaire tech mogul and his fiancée’s nuptials remain tightly under wraps—including the exact ceremony venue—multiple sources report the couple has moved Saturday's party to a more secluded setting. Originally rumored to take place in the heart of Venice’s nightlife district at Cannaregio’s Scuola Grande di Santa Maria della Misericordia, the wedding party has allegedly been relocated to the Arsenale, a historical site on the eastern edge of the city. Stay tuned for more details!
