After a long wait since their engagement in May 2023, the couple has now finalized plans for their nuptials, set to take place this summer in Italy’s picturesque city of Venice.
The news, first reported by journalist Dylan Byers on X, confirms that Bezos and Sanchez have chosen a destination renowned for hosting lavish celebrity weddings.
Venice has previously been the wedding backdrop for A-listers such as George Clooney, Tom Cruise, and Jessica Chastain.
While an exact date remains undisclosed, sources indicate that preparations are already underway for what is expected to be one of the most high-profile weddings of the year, as mentioned in a report by Dailymail.
A Love Story Years in the Making
Jeff Bezos, 61, and Lauren Sanchez, 55, have been in the public eye since their relationship became known in 2019. After dating for nearly five years, Bezos proposed with a $2.5 million ring, an engagement moment Sanchez fondly recalled in an interview with Vogue.“When he opened the box, I think I blacked out a bit,” she admitted. She has also confirmed that she will take Bezos’ last name after their wedding, stating, “One hundred percent. I am looking forward to being Mrs. Bezos.”
Designer Speculation: What Will Sanchez Wear?
The question of what Sanchez will wear on her big day has sparked speculation among fashion experts.
Designers such as Valentino and Dolce & Gabbana are among the likely choices for her bridal ensemble.
Bridal stylist Barbara Letizia believes Sanchez may opt for a mermaid-style gown featuring intricate beadwork and a corseted bodice.
Another expert, Kate Loscalzo of Something White Styling, suggests she might wear a sophisticated Oscar de la Renta or Vera Wang design, ensuring a series of outfit changes throughout the wedding weekend.
Given her affinity for glamour, it is expected that Sanchez will wear a statement wedding gown for the ceremony and switch to a fitted, sparkly number for the reception.
Bezos Previously Denied Wedding Rumors
While the couple’s wedding is now confirmed, earlier speculation suggested they might tie the knot during a $600 million Christmas celebration in Aspen.
Bezos personally dismissed these reports, calling them “completely false” and warning against believing misleading claims.
Following this clarification, an insider recently confirmed that the couple’s wedding plans are indeed moving forward, with preparations “inked in” for the summer.

Both Bezos and Sanchez have been married before.
Bezos was previously married to MacKenzie Scott for 26 years, while Sanchez was with Patrick Whitesell for 14 years before their divorce in 2019.
