Jeff Bezos' Priceless Plea: Bride Lauren Sánchez Keeps Wedding Surprise Under Wraps
Bezos Bites: Billionaire's Begs Fall on Deaf Ears as Sanchez Springs a Surprise
In a shocking turn of events, Jeff Bezos, the Amazon mogul and king of e-commerce, was left in the dark by his bride-to-be Lauren Sanchez just days before their lavish wedding celebration. The 61-year-old billionaire businessman was reportedly desperate to catch a glimpse of Sanchez's stunning custom Dolce & Gabbana gown prior to the big day, but the 55-year-old beauty refused to give in to her husband-to-be's demands.
According to insiders close to the couple, Bezos "begged" to see the dress, but Sanchez was determined to keep it under wraps until the moment she walked down the aisle. The Vogue Italia editor, Laura Tortora, revealed that Sanchez had been thrilled with her choice of gown and was adamant about keeping it a secret from Bezos.
As the wedding day approached, measures were taken to ensure that Bezos wouldn't get a sneak peek at his bride's breathtaking ensemble. He was kept in a room that didn't face the lawn where Sanchez was being photographed, effectively keeping him in the dark.
But Bezos' attempts to get a glimpse of Sanchez's dress only fueled her determination to keep it a secret. Tortora told The Scholarly Note that Sanchez had been "really, really excited" about her choice and was determined to give Bezos the surprise of his life.
The big reveal finally came on the Italian island of San Giorgio Maggiore, where the power couple exchanged vows in front of an estimated 200 celebrity guests. And when they did, Sanchez stunned in a corseted, mermaid-style gown made from hand-appliquéd Italian lace and featuring 180 silk chiffon-covered buttons.
The gown, designed by Dolce & Gabbana, was reportedly so stunning that even Bezos couldn't help but be impressed. According to insiders, he had been fixated on the dress during their final fitting at Dolce & Gabbana, and Sanchez had been thrilled with his reaction.
Despite the drama surrounding her wedding day, Sanchez looked absolutely radiant as she walked down the aisle in her stunning gown. And when she finally revealed herself to Bezos, it was clear that he was utterly smitten.
The list of A-list celebrities who attended the wedding celebration is a veritable Who's Who of Hollywood and beyond. The Kardashian-Jenner family was well-represented, with Kim, Kris, Kendall, Kylie, and Khloe all making an appearance in Venice. Other notable guests included Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, Sydney Sweeney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom, Usher, Jewel, Mick Jagger, Ellie Goulding, Tom Brady, Brooks Nader, Karlie Kloss, Queen Rania of Jordan, Bill Gates, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, and Diane von Furstenberg.
In the end, Bezos' attempts to get a sneak peek at Sanchez's dress only added to the drama and excitement surrounding their big day. And as they exchanged vows in front of their celebrity friends, it was clear that this was a wedding for the ages.
