Jeff Bezos and Lauren S谩nchez have finally tired the knot in Venice, and S谩nchez says one aspect of the ceremony was ‘a departure from what people expect’.
When you鈥檙e marrying as Amazon鈥檚 founder, you鈥檙e going to get a few people interested – but the newlyweds probably didn鈥檛 expect to have the whole world watching and waiting for their nuptials.
Bezos and S谩nchez have traveled Venice, Italy, to finally tie the knot on Friday (27 June) after announcing their engagement in 2023.
One of the things that had people talking in a negative way was the report that the wedding would cost the couple $56 million, and that a few famous faces would turn up in private jets that have allegedly put out more CO2 emissions than 27,000 cars do in one day of travel.
Orlando Bloom and Leonardo DiCaprio, as well as President Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, and the Kardashians all turned up to the event of the year.
Anyway, S谩nchez (now S谩nchez Bezos) revealed a surprising detail that you might not know about when it comes to her wedding, and this comes right after people all asked the same question thanks to her leaked wedding invites.
Speaking during a Vogue interview which was published yesterday (27 June), S谩nchez shared that there was something at the wedding that was going to be her first, which might surprise her hubby.
She explained that it鈥檚 all to do with her Dolce & Gabbana dress.
Known for her extravagant and plunging looks, S谩nchez revealed that her wedding dress will be the first formal dress she鈥檚 ever worn that is particularly covered up around the chest area.
鈥淚t is a departure from what people expect,鈥 she said, speaking before the ceremony. 鈥淔rom what I expect鈥攂ut it鈥檚 very much me.鈥
When asked whether her husband will be surprised by her choice of dress, she agreed, admitting: 鈥淵es. I think he will be pleasantly surprised. I think he鈥檚 going to be so happy. I mean, it鈥檚 so elegant, it鈥檚 timeless.鈥
But that鈥檚 not the only surprising thing that revolves around her dress, as she admitted that Bezos begged to see her dress before the wedding.
鈥淚 almost gave in!鈥 she revealed. 鈥淏ut I want it to be a surprise. As you get a little older, not many things surprise you. I can鈥檛 wait to see his face.鈥
We鈥檙e sure his face was a picture.
Now that the happy day has finally arrived, the past negativity and controversy can be put behind the pair – namely, criticism over wedding details.
Venice locals were not happy with the pair hosting their event in their city, which led to plans having to reportedly be changed following threats about inflatable crocodiles being released into the canal.
According to the BBC, the ceremony was also planned to conclude at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, but was changed to Arsenale.
As for their leaked invitations, people made fun of the cartoonish illustrations which featured birds and flowers and Venetian nods.
One person on Instagram commented: 鈥淎ll the money of the world and that鈥檚 your invitation card design? Bro you can get good ones on Amazon.鈥
Another joked: 鈥淭his invite was proudly sponsored by Microsoft Paint and zero adult supervision.鈥
A third added: 鈥淎ll that money and they couldn鈥檛 hire a designer for that invitation?鈥
Another commented: 鈥淪eriously that’s a wedding invitation of a billionaire? Who designed it and who approved it.. both have bad bad taste.鈥
