Over the weekend, Jeff Bezos hosted a wild foam party on his $500 million yacht Koru, stationed off the Croatian island of Cres. The yacht played host to a foam cannon, typically retailing for €69.99 on Amazon, blasting a mountain of white bubbles onto the deck. Amidst the foam chaos, none other than Jeff Bezos and his future wife, Lauren Sanchez, found themselves waist-deep, clad in a blue swimsuit and a red, black bikini respectively. They looked like overexcited toddlers as they splashed about, sharing a laugh and creating a scene reminiscent of elementary school recess.
The celebration marked Lauren Sanchez's son Evan's 19th birthday, who celebrated with friends on board. Teenagers with selfie sticks captured the joyous moments, holding their cameras high as they snapped away. Meanwhile, protest signs in Venice seemed to have little impact, despite the couple setting sail for the iconic city, as they planned to tie the knot there on June 27th, inaugurating celebrations that would last for three days. "Bezos Outta Here" has been scrawled all over Venice, as citizens who wrestle with overtourism, labor under the weight of the "Wedding of the Century."
The Bezos camp, it seems, is attempting to win the city's favor from their floating home, the Koru. According to Page Six, the "power couple" has quietly donated funds to Venetian charities in the planning stages of the wedding, as well as pledging to contribute for charity in the names of their esteemed guests—including Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Kim Kardashian, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Ivanka Trump. The couple, who are rumored to own everything, have forsworn gift-giving.
In addition, a touch of Venetian heritage has been woven into the wedding prep. Bezos and Sanchez have enlisted the help of local artisans for over 80% of their wedding materials, including Rosa Salva, the city's oldest confectioner, and Laguna B., a glassblowing workshop on the island of Murano.
The wedding organizers themselves have broken their silence: Antonio Licata di Baucina and Riccardo Lanza, who have planned several celebrity weddings in Venice, including Salma Hayek and François-Henri Pinault's nuptials in 2009 and George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin's festivities in 2014, have stated that they were committed to respecting Venice and its citizens from the beginning. Their goal has been to keep any negative impacts on the city's residents and visitors minimal, even before the recent protests became public knowledge.
Rumors abound that all of Venice's water taxis have been booked by the wedding party, but Lanza and Baucina deny such allegations, claiming that the number of reserved water taxis was in proportion to the size of the guest list. Some 200 guests have reportedly been invited.
