Bezos & Sanchez's $20M Venetian Wedding Extravaganza Unveiled!

The couple will say 'I do' on the island of San Giorgio, (pictured) which is home to the famous Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore, a 16th century Benedictine church

SCANDALOUS WEDDING ALERT!

Jeff Bezos, the billionaire Amazon mogul, and his stunning girlfriend Lauren Sánchez are set to tie the knot in a lavish ceremony in Venice, Italy, this June!

The highly anticipated nuptials will take place on June 27th at the picturesque Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore, with an estimated guest list of under 200 A-listers, including Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, and even members of the Trump family! But don't worry, folks, we've got the inside scoop on all the juicy details!

After a two-year-long engagement, Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are due to get married in Venice, Italy

Bezos' $500 million superyacht, Koru, will be docked at the island's harbour, where the happy couple will say their "I dos" in a ceremony that promises to be nothing short of opulent. But here's the kicker: the entire island of San Giorgio will be closed off to the public for the duration of the celebrations!

The festivities will kick off on June 26th with a gala at a private cloister along the iconic Lido, and then things will really heat up on June 28th with a lavish party at a palazzo or church (the exact location is top-secret, but we've got our sources!). And let's not forget the transportation – around 60 of Venice's water taxis have been reserved for the week, plus 400 gondolas will be out of commission!

Now, we know what you're thinking: "What about the wedding dress?" Well, insiders claim that Lauren has chosen Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, or Valentino to create her stunning gown (or gowns, who knows?). And as for Jeff's involvement in the planning process? Let's just say he's not exactly the most involved partner – after all, as he so humorously put it in a recent Vogue interview: "Oh, God, no. Do I look that dumb?"

The ceremony is part of three events, all at different locations, which will take place to celebrate the newly weds

But back to Lauren – we've got our sources saying that she's been working out like crazy with her hubby-to-be (who, by the way, is quite the fitness enthusiast!). In fact, they're so fit together that they even shared a twenty-minute workout video on Instagram!

As for how much this whole extravaganza will set them back? Let's just say it's going to be a small fortune – estimates range from $15 to $20 million! And that's not even counting the cost of Lauren's wedding dress (which, let's be real, is probably worth more than your entire wardrobe).

But what really gets our attention is the supposed "gifts" that guests will receive for attending the nuptials. Sources claim that they'll be getting opulent presents just for showing up! And who knows? Maybe they'll even get to take home a piece of Lauren's exquisite wedding cake (which, by the way, won't be provided by Rosa Salva Venetia, despite their delicious pastries).
