The nuptials of Bezos, one of the world’s wealthiest individuals and owner of The Washington Post, have drawn significant media attention, particularly given the opulence of the three-day celebration that unfolded in Venice. Vogue magazine highlighted the couple’s romance on its latest cover, showcasing Sánchez in a breathtaking Dolce & Gabbana wedding dress.
The guest list, kept tightly under wraps, showcased an eclectic mix of influential figures, from entertainment moguls like Oprah Winfrey and fashion icons like the Kardashians, to Hollywood stars including Orlando Bloom and Leonardo DiCaprio. The tech world was also prominently represented, featuring idols such as Bill Gates and Sam Altman from OpenAI.
Notably, even with Bezos' contentious relationship with the Trump administration detailed in the pages of his ownership, Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, alongside other family members, were seen among the attendees.
The wedding festivities kicked off the previous day at the Madonna dell’Orto cloister, an event that faced an interruption from a sudden thunderstorm. The celebrations are set to continue into Saturday with a grand reception at a unique former shipyard venue, further solidifying the festive spirit of the couple's new chapter together.
