VENICE, Italy (AP) — Hundreds of protesters marched through Venice’s central streets on Saturday to say “No” to billionaire Jeff Bezos, his bride and their much-awaited wedding extravaganza, which reached its third and final day amid celebrity-crowded parties and the outcries of tired residents.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez attend the amfAR gala Cannes 2025 presented by Chopard at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on May 22, 2025 in Cap d'Antibes, France. Venetians have been protesting the wedding because they feel as though it is making overtourism worse. The sisters wore Dolce & Gabbana and Roberto Cavalli.

The lavish wedding party of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and TV presenter Lauren Sanchez concludes this evening in Venice with the main gala event. But as their celebrity guests step into water taxis from their luxury hotels, paparazzi poised, some Venetians are gathering to protest against the big event.
