00:00It's the wedding of the year, billionaire style.

00:04Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are saying I do in Venice, and it's not just any ceremony.

00:08It's a three-day, multi-venue, super-yacht-studded extravaganza with more secrecy than a CIA

00:14mission and more phone than a college frat party.

00:17The guest list?

00:18Absolutely stacked.

00:19Oprah, Kim Kardashian, Bill Gates, Barbra Streisand and Leonardo DiCaprio are all expected.

00:25But so far, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are among the first bold-faced names spotted

00:29arriving in style, with their kids in tow and cameras clicking.

00:33As for when the actual I do's are happening, Jeff and Lauren are playing it coy, but according

00:38to Reuters and the New York Times, the multi-day wedding is likely set for June 26th through

00:43the 28th.

00:44Ahead of the big day, Jeff and Lauren were spotted living their best sudsy lives on his $500 million

00:50super-yacht, Kourou, throwing a phone party for her son Evan's 19th birthday.

00:55Picture Bezos shirtless, Lauren in a string bikini, golf balls flying off the deck, and

01:00a whole lot of PDA.

01:02Bezos even proposed on this yacht last year with a 20-carat diamond ring worth about $2.5

01:08million.

01:09So yeah, it's kind of their thing.

01:11Now let's talk wedding logistics, because things are complicated.

01:14Between rumors, paparazzi, and full-on protestors from a group called No Space for Bezos, the

01:19couples kept everyone guessing by booking multiple venues over multiple days.

01:23Think of it like a wedding, choose your own adventure, except you need a private water

01:27taxi and a security detail to play.

01:30Protestors are calling out the event as representative of Venice's commodification and tourism crisis,

01:36even forcing Bezos to relocate a planned after-party from a historic palace to an old shipyard

01:42venue known as Letese.

01:44But city officials, they've rolled out the red carpet, saying events like this are business

01:49as usual.

01:50Guests are staying in five-star icons like Cipriani and Hotel Danielli.

01:54Venetian artisans are supplying everything from hand-blown Murano glassware to pastries

01:59from the legendary Rosa Salva.

02:01Rumor has it, the ceremony will happen on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, possibly at

02:06the open-air Teatro Verde or the Fondazione Giorgiosini.

02:10With secret locations, luxury catering, and enough yacht footage to launch its own Bravo

02:15franchise, Bezos and Sanchez are clearly aiming for a spectacle.

02:19And despite the noise from foam parties to protest chants, love is the main headline here.

02:24So whether they're tying the knot on an island, a yacht, or a historic Venetian theater, one

02:29thing's clear.

02:30Jeff and Lauren are doing this wedding their way.

02:32Lavish, chaotic, romantic, and very, very expensive.

02:37Mamma Mia, that's Amore, billionaire edition.
