Newlyweds Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez seen for first time as she ditches £3m wedding ring

Newlyweds Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have been spotted for the first time since tying the knot, albeit without Lauren’s huge £3million diamond wedding ring. The happy couple marked the third day of their huge wedding celebration this morning, stepping out in Venice together. They were all smiles as they waved and posed for photos following their 200-guest ceremony, in which they exchanged vows in front of their family and famous pals. But although the new Mrs Bezos debuted her estimated 35 carat diamond ring last night, she was without it today as she made an appearance in the Italian city. Former journalist Sanchez, 55, and her 61-year-old Amazon founder groom had their ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore Island yesterday (Friday, June 27). The billionaires were surrounded by high-profile guests, with the Kardashians, Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom and Ivanka Trump among some of the attendees. Rania Al Abdullah, the Queen of Jordan was also in attendance, alongside supermodels and actors. Guests were welcomed to the ceremony by a gospel choir, with the singers performing a rendition of Whitney Houston’s Higher Love as the bride and groom entered. The lavish celebration drew criticism from locals, who threatened to gatecrash the wedding, and displayed messages of disapproval in the city’s St Mark’s Square. But the show went on, and the couple are gearing up for their third and final evening of celebrations tonight at the Arsenale. Although most celebrity guests partied into the early hours of Saturday morning, some slipped away early, with Kim and Khloe Kardashian already at the airport to depart the country first thing Saturday morning. Described by some as the ‘wedding of the century’, eyebrows were raised when Lauren’s gift to her guests was branded “shameless”. While Jeff gifted his guests some luxe ViBi Venezia blue velvet slippers, Sanchez pushed the brand that made her husband a billionaire, handing out black open-toe slippers from Amazon. But one journalist was less than impressed with the whole affair, branding Lauren “tacky”. Katie Couric waded in on the last post from Jack Schlossberg, the writer famous for being the nephew of John F. Kennedy Jr. and the daughter of Caroline Kennedy. Schlossberg appeared to have poked fun at Bezos and Sánchez about their wedding celebration in Venice, Italy, this week. He reposted the cover of Vogue on Friday which showed Lauren in her white lace wedding dress. Schlossberg captioned the photo: “Like I said … vogue.” Lauren beamed in the snap, while wearing her dress which featured long sleeves and a figure hugging shape. The floral lace hugged her hips before fanning out at the knees in a mermaid style. Couric then left a comment where she called the bride “tacky” in a cruel dig. “Welcome to the eighties — when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled. Apparently tacky is back,” she wrote. Schlossberg snapped back, replying: “Let’s bring back scrunchies.” Other Instagram users echoed Couric’s comment, with one person commenting: “I love this side of Katie Couric!” Another added: “Spot on! Money can’t buy you class.” A third wrote: “I am here for this kind of commentary.” Follow Mirror Celebs on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads .
