As Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos prepare for their upcoming wedding in Venice, Italy, local citizens are voicing their concerns over fears the event will disrupt the city.

Jeff Bezos and his fiancée, Lauren Sánchez, will hold their wedding in Venice next week. But some Venetians, already frustrated by overtourism, say the couple is not welcome.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez got engaged in May 2023 aboard their superyacht, Koru. Bezos hid the ring under her pillow, which she found just as she went to bed. “When he opened the box, I think I blacked out a bit,” she told Vogue.
