Amazon billionaire’s huge wedding plans update

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have had a major update in their wedding plans after a nearly two-year engagement.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and his fiancee Lauren Sanchez have finally sent out their wedding invitations after a nearly two-year engagement, according to Page Six.

The second-richest man in the world and Sanchez will be married in Venice, Italy this European summer.

Bezos, 61, and Sanchez, 55, were engaged in May 2023, four years after the billionaire ended his 25-year marriage to wife MacKenzie Scott — and the same year Sanchez’s split from her husband Patrick Whitesell.

Sanchez and Bezos are set to tie the knot on their $500 million yacht, Koru, off the coast of Italy in June.

Word of the invitations hitting the mail was first reported by Puck News.

The couple was rumoured to be tying the knot in Colorado in December, but the Washington Post owner shut down the false information.

Bezos proposed with a 20-carat, $2.5 million sparkler, Sanchez recalled to Vogue, telling the outlet she “blacked out a bit” during the big moment.

After their engagement, the couple celebrated their soon-to-be union on their megayacht in Positano, Italy with star guests including Bill Gates, Ari Emanuel, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, Queen of Jordan Rania Al Abdullah and Kris Jenner.

Sanchez, a former journalist, was seen earlier this month at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party hitting the red carpet looking wedding-ready in a white strapless mermaid gown by Oscar de la Renta.

The pair also attended President Trump’s second inauguration in Washington DC earlier this year.

Bezos’ bride to be is set to join Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry and Gayle King with an all-women crew to space via Bezos’ space-faring company Blue Origin this spring.

The mission will mark the 11th human flight for the Bezos-owned rocket company’s New Shepard program.
