Scroll down to see highlights from Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos’ Venice wedding weekend.
Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos Marry in Romantic Venice Ceremony
Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos have officially said “I do.” The couple tied the knot on Friday, June 27, in a stunning ceremony held on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy — a setting as timeless as their love story.
Shortly after the ceremony, Sánchez confirmed the news in a modern way: she updated her Instagram name to “Lauren Sánchez Bezos” and shared the first official wedding photo with the caption, “06/27/2025 ♥️.”
A Garden Ceremony in Venice
The outdoor ceremony took place against the breathtaking backdrop of Venice’s historic architecture and waterfront views. In the photo shared online, Sánchez smiles beside the Amazon founder, radiating joy in an elegant lace gown.
The bride’s custom Dolce&Gabbana dress featured sheer lace sleeves, a high neckline, and a dramatic mermaid silhouette. A striking detail: 180 silk chiffon-covered priest buttons cascading down the front of the gown. She completed the look with a tulle-and-lace veil inspired by the one worn by Sophia Loren in the 1958 film Houseboat.
A Dress That Reflected Growth
In a digital cover story for Vogue, Sánchez revealed that the gown was more than just fashion — it represented transformation.
“It went from ‘I want a simple, sexy modern dress’ to ‘I want something that evokes a moment, and where I am right now,’” she said. “I am a different person than I was five years ago.”
The high-neck design marked a departure from her usual red carpet style. “It’s a departure from what people expect — from what I expect — but it’s very much me,” she added.
Her accessories also carried symbolic meaning. Her “something blue” honored her recent all-female Blue Origin spaceflight, which she described as one of the most profound experiences of her life. Meanwhile, her Dolce&Gabbana earrings served as her “something borrowed.”
A Love Story Years in the Making
Bezos and Sánchez first went public with their relationship in January 2019. The billionaire proposed in May 2023 while the couple was vacationing in the South of France. The engagement ring — estimated at approximately 30 carats — reportedly carried a value in the millions.
Following the engagement, sources close to the couple described them as “on cloud nine” and “madly in love.” While they initially approached wedding planning at a relaxed pace, the vision ultimately came together in one of Europe’s most romantic cities.
Leading up to the big day, Sánchez celebrated with an intimate bachelorette gathering in Paris, joined by close friends including Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry, and Eva Longoria.
A New Chapter Begins
The Venice ceremony marks the beginning of a new chapter for the couple — one rooted in shared ambition, adventure, and personal growth. From business milestones to space travel and now marriage, their journey together has unfolded on a global stage.
But in the end, the wedding photo tells a simpler story: two people standing side by side, smiling at the start of something lasting.
