Did Guests Sign NDAs At Jeff Bezos And Lauren Sanchez's Wedding? Close Friend Reveals
Details of the extravagant three-day affair were recently shared by Lauren Sanchez's close friend and guest, Sara Foster.
Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos exchanged vows in a stunning wedding ceremony held in Venice, Italy. The romantic celebration brought together close family and a star-studded guest list, including Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian and Leonardo DiCaprio. The extravagant three-day affair was recently described by Sanchez's close friend and guest, Sara Foster. During a conversation with her sister, Erin Foster, curiosity sparked over just how private the event was, including whether guests were required to sign NDAs to protect the couple's privacy.
Erin, during the episode of The World's First Podcast, started by saying that she had tried calling Sarah many times during the wedding to get some inside details and fun updates. But her sister didn't answer any of her calls. Erin jokingly asked if Sarah had signed something that stopped her from talking about the wedding. She wondered if FaceTiming was not allowed and was curious why Sarah wasn't saying anything. Erin even felt like Sarah was trying too hard to keep everything secret.
Sarah Forster said, 'The time gave me no information. No one signed NDAs. There's nothing. It's so interesting how the optics were this over the top, you know, protesters. It's not what it was. It actually felt very intimate. It's kind of interesting to me that I would have never imagined that going to a friend's wedding would translate…" Erin then interrupted her and asked, 'A friend's wedding? Sarah, don't play dumb with us. You went to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding. Okay. 'A friend's wedding'."
Sarah then explained, 'The problem is that you can't say anything anymore without being attacked. I swear to God. It never occurred to me once that anybody would take issue with people attending a wedding. Truly, it really didn't. It didn't. When I was posting these fantastic pictures of me, all these gorgeous Monique Lhuillier dresses, it just didn't occur to me that it was going to be such a polarising. It really didn't. I guess I'm stupid. Maybe I'm stupid."
Erin Foster teased Sarah by saying it was disappointing that such a big, fancy wedding turned out to be a mess. The host even admitted that she really just wanted to hear fun stories, gossip or something exciting from the event. But she was annoyed that Sarah didn't share anything, no celebrity names, no dance moments, not even outfit details. In response, Sarah explained that there were actually many guests at the wedding who were never photographed. She said it was surprising how many well-known people stayed out of the spotlight.
Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' wedding caused anger among some people in Venice. Locals, already upset about too many tourists, showed their frustration during the event. They came up with posters and stickers around the city against the Amazon founder. Many Venetians felt like the wedding just added more trouble to the city's growing tourist problems.

Why Is Everyone Suddenly Tying Rakhi To Bhabhi? How E-Commerce ‘Refashioned' Raksha Bandhan
The Lumba Rakhi tradition involves tying a decorative rakhi to the wrist of the brother's wife. Raksha Bandhan is one of India's most cherished festivals, celebrating the bond between brothers and sisters. On this day, sisters tie a rakhi (a sacred thread) on their brothers' wrists as a symbol of love, care, and protection, while brothers promise to stand by them. In recent years, however, another thread has been finding its place in many homes — the Lumba Rakhi. Unlike the traditional rakhi, this one is tied to the brother's wife, or bhabhi. Originating in Marwari and Rajasthani communities, the practice has now crossed cultural boundaries and become part of celebrations across the country. Over the last 15 to 20 years, its popularity has grown significantly, with e-commerce playing a major role in spreading the tradition. What Exactly Is A Lumba Rakhi? The Lumba Rakhi tradition involves tying a decorative rakhi to the wrist of the brother's wife. These rakhis are usually more ornate, designed with beads, sequins or decorative tassels to complement a woman's festive attire. The custom has symbolic depth. In many traditions, a wife is regarded as her husband's 'ardhangini" (the other half of his being). Rituals and blessings often include both husband and wife. Tying a rakhi to the bhabhi is a way of wishing safety and happiness for the couple together. It also highlights the idea that the bhabhi plays an equal part in caring for and supporting her husband's sister. How Online Platforms Made It A Pan-India Feature Special Festival Sections On Shopping Apps In the weeks leading up to Raksha Bandhan, platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, Blinkit, Instamart and Ferns N Petals create dedicated festival sections on their apps and websites. These sections display Lumba Rakhis alongside traditional ones. This ensures that shoppers who may never have heard of the tradition encounter it while browsing for their purchases. The Rise Of Bhaiya-Bhabhi Rakhi Sets As the tradition has grown, many people have wondered how to choose the right rakhis for both the brother and his wife. E-commerce has solved this by introducing 'Bhaiya-Bhabhi Rakhi Sets", which include one rakhi for the brother and a matching Lumba Rakhi for his wife. These are often packaged as complete gift items, which makes shopping easier while celebrating both family members together. Designer And Custom Options Online platforms have brought a wave of creativity to Lumba Rakhi designs. Open any shopping app and you will find countless choices such as delicate bangle-style rakhis, heavily embellished pieces and luxury-themed sets. Many are created as matching pairs for both the brother and his wife, which makes them visually appealing. This variety has played a big role in increasing the popularity of the Lumba Rakhi tradition across the country. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FNP (@fernsnpetalsindia) The Impact Of Global Shipping For Indians living abroad, e-commerce has made it easy to send Lumba Rakhis to their families in India, while families here can ship them overseas just as conveniently. This global reach has allowed sisters to include bhabhis in the tradition even when separated by continents. Visibility Through Social Media It is hard to ignore the role social media plays today. Platforms like Instagram and Facebook are filled with Raksha Bandhan photos and videos where brothers and bhabhis proudly show the rakhis tied to them. Seeing these moments online has made the Lumba Rakhi tradition more familiar to people everywhere. Over time, it has started to feel like a natural part of the festival for many families.

Meet the Seattle teen who became a millionaire at 7 by inventing a card game and here's how he did it
While most kids his age were busy playing video games or kicking a ball around, Alex Butler was busy building a business empire.

With the help of his parents, Leslie Pierson and Mark Butler, Alex launched a GoFundMe-style campaign that raised $25,000 to cover production costs. The family even formed their own company, Hot Taco Inc., to bring the game to life and sell it on Amazon for $20 a deck. The gamble paid off. By 2018, Taco vs. Burrito had become Amazon's No. 1 bestselling game and earned the family nearly $1.1 million. The game's runaway success recently caught the attention of toy and game maker PlayMonster, which bought the rights — though the sale price remains undisclosed. "Alex loves games and decided to dream up his own. He put on his thinking cap and came up with TACO VS BURRITO, spending months coming up with ingredients, planning, tinkering with the gameplay and testing it thoroughly with people of all ages. When you buy TACO vs BURRITO, you're not only getting an amazing game that you'll love, but you are also helping a 7-year-old's dream become a reality," reads the page of Taco vs Burrito game. Live Events Now 15, Butler admits he's not emotionally attached to his creation. 'It's not super important to me,' he told The Seattle Times . 'I just kind of wanted to get the most money out of it.' As for how he'll spend his windfall, there's only one thing on his wish list: a Lamborghini. Butler's story reflects a growing trend among American teens — according to the New York Post, nearly 2 in 5 are finding ways to make money online. 'In the past, you had to find somewhere to sell a product, set up a payment platform, network and build up a community of potential customers before you could even think about launching your own business,' Cameron Zoub, co-founder and chief growth officer at Whop, a Brooklyn-based online business platform, told the Post. 'Now, all you need is a phone and an internet connection.'
