It’s the big day for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez!
The couple have tied the knot on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, People magazine confirms.
A source told the outlet that the wedding featured a performance by Matteo Bocelli, who sang Elvis Presley's iconic song “Can’t Help Falling in Love."
Lauren wore a Dolce & Gabbana atelier gown, giving Vogue the first look at her wedding look. She told the magazine that Jeff begged to see the dress ahead of time and she "almost gave in!”
She emphasized, “But I want it to be a surprise. As you get a little older, not many things surprise you. I can’t wait to see his face.”

The high-necked lace dress is "a departure from what people expect,” Lauren noted. She went on, “From what I expect—but it’s very much me.”
Sanchez was inspired by Sophia Loren's wedding dress that she wore to marry Cary Grant in their 1958 film "Houseboat."
She explained, "It went from ‘I want a simple, sexy modern dress’ to ‘I want something that evokes a moment,’ and where I am right now. I am a different person than I was five years ago."
As for Bezos' reaction, she predicted, “I think he will be pleasantly surprised. I think he’s going to be so happy. I mean, it’s so elegant, it’s timeless."
While the dress took 900 hours to make, Lauren wanted to keep her makeup to a minimum. She said, "Hardly any glam, the least amount of make-up. This is part of the evolution. I want it as natural as you can get it.”
Before they officially exchanged vows, Lauren gushed, "I’m happy that I’m getting married and I get to spend my life with my best friend, someone who sees me, someone who adores me, someone who I adore. I am the luckiest woman on the planet.”
Their wedding was packed with stars, including Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Brady, and a newly single Orlando Bloom. Many were photographed getting into water taxis for the extravaganza. See the pics below!
Earlier in the day, Sanchez blew a kiss and gave a wave as she departed her Venice hotel via water taxi ahead of their “I dos.” She wore a white suit and head scarf for her departure.
Bezos was spotted in a black tuxedo while hopping into a separate water taxi.
The night before the wedding, there was a big bash that ended in thunder and lighting!
Kim and Kyle took to Instagram to document the weather conditions.

Before the thunderstorm shut down the party, guests enjoyed pizza, fried zucchini flowers, arancini, octopus, and cod, according to People magazine.
Page Six reports Bezos’ wedding gift for Sanchez was a $5-million diamond necklace!
A source told the outlet, “It’s a diamond necklace that circles her neck with a large center stone and matching earrings.”
According to the insider, Lauren will wear the “dazzling new gems” at some point during their wedding weekend.
People magazine recently reported that they changed the location of their post-wedding party to the island of Arsenale in Venice because of security concerns. The island is inaccessible once the bridges are raised.
According to the outlet, the couple have 20-plus security personnel with them, and they have transformed Venice into a “fortress-like operation.”
Earlier this week, the couple’s wedding invitation leaked. ABC News obtained the coveted invite adorned with butterflies, a bridge, and gondolas.
The invite asked that “no gifts” be given to the couple. Instead, they are making donations on the guests’ behalf to UNESCO Venice Office to safeguard the city’s irreplaceable heritage.
