Lauren Sánchez is showing off her curves ahead of her wedding to Jeff Bezos.
The couple stepped out on a taxi boat in Venice on Thursday, June 26, days before they are set to say “I do.” In one photo, Sánchez, 55, and Bezos, 61, shared a smooch as they traveled on the water.
Sánchez looked stunning in a strapless floral gown with a gold mid-section that cinched at her waist, styling her hair in loose waves as she waved for the camera. The Amazon founder, for his part, wore a brown suit with a collared white shirt.
Sánchez and Bezos have been accompanied by various A-list friends in Italy, including some Kardashians stars — Kim and Khloé Kardashian, Kris, Kendall, and Kylie Jenner have all been seen — as well as Orlando Bloom and Tom Brady.
The reported 200 guests who will be in attendance received a unique request on their wedding invites.“We are excited for you to join us! We have one early request: Please, no gifts,” the message read, per ABC News. “Instead, we’re making contributions in your honor and with gratitude to you for making the journey to celebrate with us in Venice.”
The invites also listed three charities that are meaningful to the couple. “Donations on your behalf are being made to the UNESCO Venice Office to safeguard the city’s irreplaceable cultural heritage,” the invitation said, “to CORILA to restore the lagoon habitats that protect Venice’s future, and to Venice International University to support research and education for sustainable solutions.”
The letter continued, “This magical place has gifted us unforgettable memories. Our hope is that through these efforts and by you joining us, Venice will continue to inspire wonder for generations to come.”
Prior to the wedding festivities, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Sánchez would be wearing custom Dolce & Gabbana couture. “It will be a big wedding,” the insider said, adding that it will also be “a very Italian wedding.”
Sánchez and Bezos got engaged in 2023 while they were traveling in Europe. While recalling the proposal, Sánchez quipped to Vogue in November 2023 that she “blacked out a bit” when Bezos opened the box.
While thinking about their future, Sánchez weighed in on whether she planned to take Bezo’s last name after marriage. “Uh, yes, 100 percent,” she told the outlet at the time. “I am looking forward to being Mrs. Bezos.”
