Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are getting engaged, and people are coming from far and wide to celebrate them.
According to a city statement, the Amazon millionaire founder and his longtime fiancée will marry in Venice, Italy.
The union of former television journalist Sánchez and tech tycoon Bezos is expected to be one of the year’s most anticipated celebrity events.
“The many speculations and fake news circulating about Jeff Bezos‘ wedding are completely unfounded,” the city wrote in a statement Saturday. “Only two hundred guests will have been invited and therefore it will be easy for Venice to accommodate such an event, without any disruption whatsoever to the city, its residents and visitors.”
The announcement comes amid rumors that the opulent event will overwhelm the small Italian village, which is situated atop a collection of islands off the country’s mainland.
“Our city has much experience in international events much larger than this,” the city’s statement continued. “Venice is accustomed to being the stage for events and shows every week, without significant impacts, such as the G20 Economy, G7 Justice, state bilateral meetings, Art, Architecture, and Cinema Biennales, as well as private events, like large conferences, corporate meetings, fashion shows, parties, and VIP weddings.”
Venice is known for its romantic architecture and mid-city canals, where tourists can ride gondolas to take in the surrounding sights.
“The organization (Bezos and guests) have categorically not booked large amounts of gondolas or excessive numbers of water taxis,” the city’s statement said. “It is their utmost priority to make sure the city functions as normal, for all, with no abnormal disruption to anyone.”
May your forthcoming wedding be a memorable one. Congratulations!!!
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
