Inside Jeff Bezos sumptuous three-day wedding from which stars will be there to why the billionaire has banned gifts
THE private jets have landed, the celebrities are filling the grand hotels and billionaires are taking over the city. Yes, the wedding of the decade is finally here — and true to form for space-loving Advertisement 19 The wedding of Jeff Bezos and his bride Lauren Sanchez will be out of this world Credit: Getty 19 Celebrations have already been taking place on board Jeff's £370million superyacht Koru Credit: Splash 19 Guests will head to the Venetian island of San Giovanni Evangelista for a sumptuous banquet Credit: Alamy Tonight, approximately 200 of the world's wealthiest and most famous faces will gather at the 15th-century Madonna dell'Orto church in The next day Jeff, 61, and Lauren, 55, will finally say 'I do' at the open-air amphitheatre on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore — both most likely draped in Dolce & Gabbana haute couture. And that is just a slice of what is to come. Forget everything you know about vow exchanges, wedding breakfasts and DJ'd dancefloors, this super wedding, with an expected bill of around £35million, is going stratospheric. Advertisement READ MORE ON JEFF BEZOS Today may be the official start to proceedings, but celebrations have already been taking place 160 miles away, on board Jeff's £370million superyacht Koru, which is anchored off the The yacht was supposed to be a focal point for the three-day event in Venice, but thanks to heightened security measures and local protests, it is staying put in Croatia. According to insiders, there had to be last-minute changes to some wedding plans following the US bombing raid on Iran and the threat of the war in the Middle East escalating. Bezos, who is worth £165billion, and his billionaire friends are potential American targets, making his over-exposed yacht too much of a risk. Advertisement Most read in Celebrity Latest Foam party There have also been left-leaning protests bubbling away on the ground, with posters popping up saying 'No Space for Bezos' and 'If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax'. With that in mind, it was decided that arriving on the world's largest sailing yacht might not have helped the cause. LIVE: Katy Perry & Lauren Sanchez blast off into space with Blue Origin's all-female crew Instead, they flew in on private jet, but not before hosting a massive foam party on their boat. Frolicking in the soapy suds, it was clear that the Amazon and Prime founder and former Fox news journalist Lauren were starting as they meant to go on — with fun, fizz and a bit of extra froth. Advertisement High-profile guests including Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka have been pouring into the city of love. Other famous faces believed to be checking into one of Venice's most luxurious hotels include Kim Kardashian and her mum Kris Jenner, The five-star Aman Venice, where Jeff and Lauren will be staying and where suites cost as much as £10,000 a night, has been fully booked out for the occasion, as have several other high-end hotels. And they are not the only businesses profiting from the Bezos bonanza, with around 80 per cent of provisions for the wedding apparently being sourced locally. Advertisement Rosa Salva, Venice's oldest pastry maker, is certainly not against the couple choosing her city to tie the knot. She told reporters earlier this week: 'I don't see how an event with only 200 people can create disruptions. It's responsible tourism. 'It's prestigious that a couple like this, who can go anywhere in the world, are getting married in the city.' Mayor Luigi Brugnaro added: 'We are very proud. I don't know if I will have time, or if he will, to meet and shake hands, but it's an honour that they chose Venice. Advertisement 19 200 of the world's wealthiest and most famous faces will gather at the 15th-century Madonna dell'Orto church in Venice Credit: Alamy And it appears that Jeff and Lauren do want to honour the city. In their wedding invitation — which was leaked this week and looked like it had been designed on clip art with its illustrations of birds and butterflies — they told guests they do not want presents. Instead, they would be making donations on their behalf to 'safeguard the city's irreplaceable cultural heritage' and to 'restore the vital lagoon habitats'. Advertisement As for the lavish events to come, tonight is just an appetiser. With luxury wedding planners Lanza & Baucina at the helm — whose founders come from Italian royalty — it is no surprise they have access to some of the city's most exclusive sites. The firm also planned George and Amal Clooney's Venetian nuptials in 2014. The ceremony tomorrow promises to be a spectacular and sumptuous affair fit for the third richest man in the world. Advertisement Earlier this week, construction workers were seen building a white cover above the breathtaking amphitheatre at San Giorgio Maggiore, guaranteeing privacy from drones. Once Mr and Mrs Bezos have made things official there, the party will dine out in style, with the requisite fireworks launched to seal the deal. Closing the epic three-day event will be a grand ball on Saturday at the Arsenale, the city's ancient shipyard. The original plan was to end up at the city's majestic Scuola Grande della Misericordia building in the centre, but the site has been deemed 'logistically unfeasible' given the need for high security. Advertisement The Arsenale, which is practically unreachable to any would- be protesters, will see a performance by opera singer Matteo Bocelli, son of Andrea Bocelli. As for the dress, it is widely believed that previously married mum-of-three Lauren will plump for Dolce & Gabbana for the ceremony itself. Vanity project She is close friends with the sartorial duo, who even featured her son Nikko, 24, in a fashion show last year. She and Jeff were then spotted visiting their iconic store in Milan during March for an apparent dress fitting. Advertisement Nevertheless, multiple events call for multiple outfits and, according to insiders, designers Versace and Oscar de la Renta are also on the docket. The latter was responsible for Lauren's line of Blue Origin spacesuits that she and her all-female space-mates wore for their 11-minute rocket trip in May. Lauren had intended that adventure to empower women by gathering a gaggle of girls, including singer Katy Perry and TV anchor Gayle King, and launching into space on a flight funded by Jeff's space exploration firm. But the journey was slammed for being just a self-congratulatory vanity project, not least because Katy Perry took the chance to announce her latest tour's setlist while in zero gravity. Advertisement Needless to say, Lauren will this time be keen to strike that fine balance between ex- travagant and modest, proving that despite their love for rockets and superyachts, she and Jeff do have their feet firmly planted on the ground. Still, the couple have survived rockier terrain. After all, news of their relationship came out in 2019 while they were both still married to other people. 19 Where the wedding banquet will be held Credit: Alamy 19 The location of the lavish wedding, Venice Credit: The Mega Agency Advertisement Indeed, it was Lauren's then husband, Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell, who introduced the pair. Both Jeff and Lauren say their respective marriages had secretly ended before they got together. They both then divorced their spouses, with Jeff's ex-wife MacKenzie Scott — with whom he has four children — walking away with Amazon stock worth £36billion, making her one of the richest women in the world. Since getting together with Lauren — and proposing to her with a 30-carat ring worth a reported £3.6million in 2023 — Jeff has transformed from a so-called nerd to a buffed-up tech guy. Advertisement He now seems happier hobnobbing with celebrities than he is chairing board meetings. Lauren, for her part, has always lived a starry existence. Her mega hen do weekend in Paris in May, which cost around £500,000 and gathered besties including Kim Kardashian and Eva Longoria, was a lesson in camera-ready luxury. So, despite nerves surrounding security and an emphasis on discretion, it is only a matter of time before we see a gym-buffed Jeff and his designer-clad missus smiling broadly in their bridal best — either in the pages of Vanity Fair or Vogue. Advertisement In the meantime, it is safe to say that over the next few days they will be putting the more in amore. 19 Leonardo DiCaprio will be a guest at the wedding Credit: Getty 19 Kim Kardashian will be another star at the do Credit: Getty 19 Oprah Winfrey has been invited Credit: Getty Advertisement 19 Fellow billionaire Bill Gates will attend Credit: Getty 19 Orlando Bloom is also on the guest list Credit: Getty 19 Kris Jenner will make an appearance Credit: Splash 19 Other high-profile guests include Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka Credit: Getty Advertisement 19 Eva Longoria will also attend Credit: Getty 19 Greenpeace deployed a giant banner displaying a picture of Jeff Bezos, reading 'If you can rent Venice for your wedding you can pay more tax' Credit: AFP 19 Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Lauren Sanchez and Eva Longoria on the hen do in Paris Credit: Instagram 19 Bride-to-be Lauren was aboard the recent Blue Origin shuttle Credit: The Mega Agency Advertisement 19 Lauren with ex Patrick Whitesell Credit: Getty - Contributor 19 Bezos' ex-wife MacKenzie Scott Credit: Getty

Is it safe to holiday in Turkey, Cyprus, Egypt and more? Latest advice for Irish
The Middle East has entered another period of uncertainty, as Israel and Iran exchanged missiles over 12 days. Despite both countries entering a ceasefire, as announced by US President Donald Trump, the countries began further exchanges just hours after it was announced, with both countries accusing the other of breaking the agreement. But with some Irish people potentially heading on holidays to surrounding regions, the Department of Foreign Affairs have issued updates surrounding their travel advice to countries near the region. Pic: Abdullah Al-Eisa/Getty Images The DFA have said that regional tensions mean that there may be possible attacks on military installations and/or strategic infrastructure. Missile debris may also become an issue. 'Ongoing hostilities in Iran, Israel, Palestine and in Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen may escalate, leading to possible attacks on military installations and/or on strategic infrastructure,' the DFA wrote on their website. 'Debris from intercepted missiles or drones may cause localised damage over urban areas. The most immediate risk remains delay or cancellation of flights.' The DFA have said that people travelling to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), i.e. to Dubai, must exercise a high degree of caution when travelling. Pic: Getty. The DFA have said that people travelling to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), i.e. to Dubai, must exercise a high degree of caution when travelling. Due to the ongoing tensions in the region, airport travel disruptions are anticipated — with the DFA advising that people contact the airline they're travelling with for relevant updates prior to the travel. 'The Embassy of Ireland, Abu Dhabi is closely monitoring the current regional situation and advises that Irish citizens exercise heightened caution,' the DFA have said. 'Please follow the instructions of local authorities. For further updates, please monitor the Embassy's social media channels. Pic:The country was recently hit by Iranian missiles, with a number of flights being cancelled and delayed as a result — with the DFA saying that they're continuing to monitor the situation. 'We continue to monitor ongoing regional tensions,' the DFA say. 'Please exercise caution, monitor local and international media, follow the advice of local authorities, and observe any additional security measures imposed during this time. 'Continuing airport disruptions are anticipated. Please contact your airline for relevant updates prior to travel.' With Gaza being accessible via Egypt, the Department of Foreign Affairs has advised visitors to exercise a high degree of caution, and is strongly advised against: Pic:Travelling to the Governorate of North Sinai including the Taba-Suez Road where the security situation is extremely dangerous Travelling to Gaza via the Rafah border crossing, as the vicinity of the Rafah border crossing is particularly dangerous at the moment and the border crossing is currently closed And independently travel to remote desert areas close to the Libyan and Sudanese borders DFA have also advised visitors to travel by air to: Sharm El Sheikh, Hurghada and immediate surrounds and Marsa Alam and immediate surrounds Tourist areas in the Nile river (such as Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel). Irish citizens should be aware of the hazardous driving conditions in Egypt. Following a period of unrest which began in March, the DFA have updated Irish travellers to issue a high degree of caution when entering the country. Visitors are advised to follow the guidance of national and local authorities, stay fully informed of what's going on by monitoring local news and devise a security plan. 'Large demonstrations have taken place in Istanbul and other Turkish cities since March 19 2025,' the Department of Foreign Affairs wrote on their website. 'A ban on demonstrations is currently in place and a number of restrictions on transport and movement within the city have been in effect. 'Avoid all protests and demonstrations and minimise time spent in crowded areas, particularly those frequented by foreigners. Carry an ID or photocopy of passport at all times and present to security officers if requested. Please be aware that police in Türkiye can take measures such as the use of tear gas to control protesters. It is advisable to carry a charged mobile phone with connectivity at all times.' The DFA have also strongly advised against all travel to regions within 10km of the border between Türkiye and Syria, as well as advising against all but essential travel to the provinces of Hatay, Kilis and Sirnak. The Department of Foreign Affairs have said that people should take normal precautions when travelling to Cyprus. However, the northern part of Cyprus proclaimed itself as the 'Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus', and while it's not recognised internationally by any country other than Türkiye, entrance to the region may be restricted.

Urgent holiday warning for Irish tourists as measles outbreak hits top travel spots
As the summer holiday season approaches, the HSE has issued a critical warning to Irish travellers due to a concerning rise in measles outbreaks across numerous popular tourist destinations. Cases have been reported not only in various European countries but also in North America and parts of Asia, leading the HSE to express its worry about potential measles outbreaks in Ireland this summer. Measles, one of the most highly infectious diseases, continues to "spread rapidly among individuals who are unvaccinated". Several countries experiencing significant outbreaks include many top holiday destinations, prompting Ireland's health officials to encourage travellers to ensure their vaccinations are up to date before travelling abroad. The HSE strongly recommends all travellers, particularly families with young children, to verify their vaccination status and receive the MMR vaccine if necessary. A spokesperson stated: "The best way to protect you and your family against measles is to ensure all family members are up to date with the recommended doses of MMR vaccine before travelling abroad. "MMR vaccine is available free of charge at your GP for individuals born on or after January 1st 1978 who are not age-appropriately vaccinated. In addition, infants aged 6 months to under 12 months are eligible to receive an MMR vaccine, free of charge at their GP, prior to travel abroad. It is recommended that individuals receive MMR vaccine at least 14 days prior to travel." "HSE recommends that all people who are eligible for MMR vaccination should be vaccinated, regardless of whether planning on travel abroad or not." This warning is issued in response to "large outbreaks" of measles reported across Europe. The most recent measles report from the ECDC indicates that the highest number of cases were recorded in France, Spain, Romania, Netherlands and Belgium, reports the Irish Mirror. Significant numbers of cases have also been reported in the USA, Canada and some Asian countries - including Vietnam, Cambodia and the Philippines. The HSE explains that measles begins with cold-like symptoms around 10 days after infection. A measles rash appears a few days later. This rash emerges around two to four days following the onset of your first symptoms and fades after about a week. It typically starts on your head or neck before spreading to the rest of your body. The rash can be flat or slightly raised, merging into large blotchy patches. On white skin, it appears brown or red. It may be less visible on brown and black skin. The rash may cause slight itching for some individuals. You will feel most unwell on the first or second day after the rash appears. Some individuals may also develop small grey-white spots in their mouth. However, not everyone with measles will have these spots. These spots usually appear before the measles rash. If you have these spots along with other symptoms or a rash, it's highly likely you have measles. These spots usually last for a few days. Measles is highly contagious, spreading through coughs and sneezes from someone who's infected. To help prevent its spread, the HSE advises: "Tell your child's school or childcare if your child has measles. Children in your child's group or class may need to get the MMR vaccine. Do not go to work, school or childcare until at least four days after you first got the measles rash. Avoid contact with young children, pregnant women and people who have a weak immune system."
