Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are preparing for a luxurious winter wedding in Aspen this Christmas, according to an exclusive source who spoke with The U.S. Sun. The Amazon founder, 60, and his fiancée, 54, have been meticulously planning their highly anticipated nuptials, which are set to be an extravagant affair.
Winter wonderland wedding
“They’re getting ready for a winter wonderland wedding in Aspen this Christmas,” the insider revealed. “They’re planning an extravagant ceremony and are sparing no expense in creating a white Christmas affair.” The event is expected to be filled with festive decorations, twinkling lights, and a holiday charm that will leave guests in awe.
A star-studded guest list
The wedding will be a star-studded occasion, with a guest list that includes some of Hollywood’s biggest names, as well as influential figures from the business world. Aspen, the picturesque mountain town, has been chosen as the venue due to its natural beauty and appeal to the couple. The source mentioned that the couple, who have often been seen vacationing in the area, consider it the “perfect location” for their long-awaited celebration.
From love story to engagement
The couple’s love story began in 2019, when they publicly came out as a couple while Sanchez was still finalizing her divorce from her ex-husband, Patrick Whitesell. Their engagement came in May 2023, when Bezos proposed during a vacation on his super-yacht in the South of France. The pink diamond engagement ring, valued at an estimated $2.5 million, was a stunning gesture of love.
Celebrations in Italy and beyond
In celebration of their engagement, Bezos and Sanchez hosted a lavish party in Positano, Italy, attended by several prominent figures, including Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Queen Rania of Jordan. Their wedding is poised to be just as glamorous and unforgettable, according to sources close to the couple.
Wedding delays and legal hurdles
Despite the extravagant plans, the wedding has been slightly delayed, as the couple continues to navigate legal details with their respective lawyers. However, their deep affection for one another remains steadfast, with one insider remarking, “He loves her and would marry her tomorrow; the only thing holding up the wedding is his, and her, lawyers.”
