Sun Mar 30 01:56:29 UTC 2025: ## Bezos and Sanchez to Wed in Venice Despite Yacht Restrictions

**Venice, Italy** – Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, are set to marry in Venice this year, with reports pointing to a lavish ceremony on June 26th. While the couple has reportedly booked five luxury hotels along the Grand Canal – including the Grand Aman, where George Clooney married – Bezos’s massive $500 million superyacht, Koru, will face limitations.

Despite meeting Venice’s overall size restrictions for entry into the lagoon, the yacht’s size prohibits navigation of the Grand Canal due to strict maritime regulations implemented after UNESCO warned of potential damage to the historic city. This means the couple may not enjoy the most iconic Venetian views directly from their vessel.

The wedding is expected to be a star-studded affair, with a guest list rumored to include US President Donald Trump, his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner, Kim Kardashian, and other Hollywood A-listers and political figures. The couple has also reserved a fleet of private water taxis, including the Amore, famously used by George and Amal Clooney. This extravagant wedding will mark a new chapter for Bezos, who divorced MacKenzie Scott in 2019 after a 25-year marriage.
