Jeff Bezos' wedding to Lauren Sánchez is underway in Venice.
Power players in the business and entertainment spheres have arrived in Italy to celebrate.
The wedding has also drawn unwelcome guests: protesters.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's multiday wedding is kicking off this week, and power players from politics, business, and Hollywood have converged in Venice to celebrate.

The Amazon founder and his fiancée, a former news anchor, are getting married in the Floating City in front of about 200 of their closest family and friends.

Famous faces like first daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, and fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg began to arrive in Venice on Tuesday. By Thursday, power players like Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, and members of the Kardashian-Jenner family were being photographed around the city.

Since Bezos and Sánchez's relationship went public in 2019, they have been a fixture of A-list events, such as the Met Gala, Vanity Fair Oscars Party, and Formula 1 races, often photographed with celebrities, rather than people from the tech world.

Some unwelcome guests are also planning on attending. Venice locals have been protesting against Bezos ahead of the wedding this month, with signs posted around the city that read, "No space for Bezos."

Protest organizers, who have cited concerns with overtourism, have vowed to disrupt the wedding, saying they would potentially try to block access to some venues. The city, for its part, has denounced the protests and said it welcomes the wedding.
