The wedding celebration of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez culminated on Friday night when Ms. Sanchez confirmed that couple had tied the knot with an Instagram post, showing herself, looking ecstatic, in a lacy white wedding gown alongside a tuxedoed Mr. Bezos. She posted under the name Lauren Sanchez Bezos.
The ceremony, marking the second marriage for both parties, took place in Venice’s verdant San Giorgio island, facing the Doge Palace, which the couple, and some 200 designer-clad guests, had reached via motorboat earlier in the evening.
From the shores of an island opposite San Giorgio, the crowd was heard roaring on Friday evening, before Matteo Bocelli, the son of the Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, sang an emotional love song.
The wedding of the tech billionaire, who also owns The Washington Post and is one of the world’s richest men, came in the middle of a flashy three-day celebration in Venice, which had attracted huge attention — and some controversy.
Vogue magazine confirmed the nuptials in a cover look released on Friday, with the bride in a dress by Dolce & Gabbana.
