Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos tied the knot yesterday in a multi-million dollar celebration surrounded by plenty of A-list friends in Venice, Italy – but some weren’t pleased
Jeff Bezos’ wife Lauren Sanchez has been labelled “tacky” by Katie Couric on her wedding day. The billionaire couple tied the knot this week in their no expenses spared celebration.
However, it seems that one journalist wasn’t too impressed by the event as she called Lauren “tacky”. Katie Couric got involved in the last post from Jack Schlossberg, who is a writer famous for being the nephew of John F. Kennedy Jr. and the daughter of Caroline Kennedy.
Schlossberg appeared to have poked fun at Bezos and Sánchez over the wedding celebration in Venice, Italy, this week. He reposted the cover of Vogue on Friday which showed Lauren in her white lace wedding dress.

He captioned the photo: “Like I said … vogue.” Lauren looked stunning in the snap as she smiled from ear to ear while wearing her dress which featured long sleeves and a figure hugging shape.
It also had floral lace which hugged her hips before fanning out at the knees. Couric then left her comment where she called the bride “tacky” in a cruel dig.
“Welcome to the eighties — when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled. Apparently tacky is back,” she wrote.
The world’s second richest man Jeff Bezos got married to with his long-term partner Lauren in Venice, Italy yesterday. The couple are husband and wife after they said their “I do’s” in an extravagant £48million ceremony surrounded by their famous friends and family – despite already having a smaller, legal ceremony beforehand.
The couple said their vows in a ceremony lasting around 25 minutes, with family and friends gathered at the event. They were heard cheering, clapping and whistling for the pair after they said “I do”.
The pair got married in front of a number of celebrities including the Kardashian-Jenners, Oprah Winfrey and Leonardo DiCaprio. Ivanka Trump was also in attendance as was Rania Al Abdullah, the Queen of Jordan.
Despite the pair celebrating their nuptials in Venice this week, it has been reported that the pair had actually tied the knot weeks ago.
According to an insider involved in the event planning, they said: “They have been married for at least a month, more than a month. The marriage is fully legal and took place in America under American law.”
This week’s festivities have been widely billed as their wedding, but the source revealed it’s purely ceremonial. “When they were planning the wedding, they were clear about the fact that they were already secretly married,” they said.
It has been reported that Bezos himself confirmed the legal union and noted the pair had arranged a prenuptial agreement to safeguard his $244 billion fortune. Bezos and Sanchez reportedly married privately in the U.S., well before the high-profile celebration began.
