Venice, Italy

–
Basically by the imminent threat of disturbing demonstrations, the next Venetian marriage of the founder of Amazon Jeff Bezos and the former news presenter and approved pilot Lauren Sanchez – who should be a matter of several million dollars of several million dollars.
The couple’s spokesperson remain tight guests and the guests have been required to sign the NDA, but a lid cannot be kept generalized speculation on every detail of the event which should take place this week.
At the Harry’s Bar, a legendary institution that once had Ernest Hemingway among its customers, the servers hope that some of the 200 guests – a mixture of celebrities on list A, political dignitaries and powerful business leaders – could stop for one of their famous Bellini cocktails. Whether or not Bezos will bring his still unknown honor to it, as George Clooney did when he married Amal Alamuddin in 2014, it is someone’s assumption. “We hope,” said one of the servers at CNN. “We cannot disclose anyone who has made a reservation. We protect the intimacy of all our guests, not just billionaires. ”
From the date to the list of guests, possible places and the wedding dress, the rumor mill runs at a quick pace.
Hollywood guests and local treats
The procedures are supervised by the event planners of the Lanza and Baucina store, the Italian duo who transformed the large Venice Canal into a red carpet for the sumptuous wedding of Clooneys.
The demonstrators believe that there is no space for a wedding from Bezos in Venice, but the company insisted that its plans are respectful of the city and the unique set of challenges that it is confronted as one of the most overcrowded tourist sites. “The rumors of` `taking over the city ” are entirely false and diametrically opposed to our objectives and reality,” they said in a press release shared with CNN.
“From the start, our client’s instructions and our own guiding principles were clearly clear: the minimization of any disturbance for the city.”
The couple are supplied for around 80% of the marriage provisions of local sellers, including pastries from the Rosa Salva pastry shop, the oldest in Venice, whose owners told CNN that they had been responsible for creating “around 200 bags of Goodie”.
The Murano glassware designer, Laguna B, also confirmed to CNN that he creates special party favors. The company refused to share other details.
Veneto regional president Luca Zaia is not concerned about the city’s plans to manage marriage, saying to a local newspaper: “I repeat, it is a city that manages 150,000 people a day. George Clooney, François-Henri Pinault and Salma Hayek, Alexandre Arnault, Elton John and many others were married here. ” He also supposed that the President of the United States, who was to be in Europe this week for the NATO summit, could be on the guest list, saying to Corriere Della will be, “of course, Donald Trump could also come to this marriage”. We imagine that Trump’s priorities may have evolved considerably over the weekend.
The guests have sworn secrets about their attendance, the Sanchez’s very public Bachelor Festival in Paris can offer last month to know who will come like her and Bezos say “I do”. Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry and Eva Longoria all participated in celebrations that included a boat trip along the Seine. Oprah Winfrey, Mick Jagger and Ivanka Trump were also invited, according to the Associated Press.
As is tradition, Sanchez will keep the details of her wedding dress and his creator, under the Wraps to the age of day, but the loved ones of his fashion will know that she is a regular carrier of Dolce & Gabbana. Sanchez was sitting in front and at the center of the Alta Moda show of the Italian house in Sardinia last summer while his son Nikko Gonzalez walked on the track, signaling a close relationship with the brand. Others in the running to dress the bride could be the legendary house of Oscar de la Renta. Sanchez did not attend the Met Gala this year, but in particular she wore a tailor -made dress by the label for its beginnings in 2024.
It is also believed that around 30 elite water taxis in the city, out of 280 in total. A taxi driver told CNN that he had been reserved from June 25 to 30 for “a big marriage”, but refused to say more on the subject. The gondolas have also been suspended, the city gondola association confirming that they are ready for the event.
The nine ports of city yachts were also reserved for the week before the main event. The $ 500 million of Bezos, Koru, who are still in line by the smallest the Abeona, are already both in the Adriatic Sea, according to the sea traffic website.
Venice airspace is closed to drones and unauthorized traffic, but a source told CNN that the authorization had been granted for private helicopters, especially for anyone who needed special security, such as heads of state. Marco Polo Airport, not unrelated to the circulation of private jets, already has an isolated area with direct access to private water taxis, which allows stars to easily slip into the invisible city.
The wedding date itself, by far the most detailed, remains by far not confirmed and the couple seems to be hell to keep everyone to guess until the last minute. A person close to the Venice City Hall told CNN that wedding planners have obtained a variety of places over a period of days and would decide what is happening where and when based on the most uncontrollable factors – the weather and the demonstrators.
The wedding should use a small handful of hotels in the city to host guests or organize events. One of the most evoked places possible is the CINI Foundation on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, which organized everything, from the G7 events to private concerts. The sculpted gardens and the monastery, where the monks always pray, sit in front of the famous Piazza San Marco and would provide an intimate framework for a dinner. The construction of works carried out in mid-June looked like a construction set-perhaps for a wedding concert?
The Aman hotel on the Grand Canal, where the Cloonys have chosen to get married, was also mentioned as a potential location. Another superior candidate is the Grande Della Misericordia scuola, a 16th century armory which would be perfect for the ceremony itself – although it was more vulnerable to demonstrators, who have already threatened to block the channels if the wedding party tries to reach the place.
Interestingly, a Gazebo rather of wedding was erected next to the Excelsior hotel in Venice Lido, to a stone throwing from where the Venice Film Festival takes place every year. But, as with the rest of the sites, nothing is confirmed.
