Lavish Celebration, Legal Loophole

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have already tied the knot before stepping onto a Venetian water taxi. According to multiple insiders, the couple is legally married in the U.S., despite throwing a star-studded wedding bash on Italy’s scenic San Giorgio Maggiore island.

While all eyes were on their $10 million wedding weekend in Venice, few noticed the legal puzzle behind the glamour. Sources close to the pair revealed to Page Six that Bezos and Sanchez signed a multi-million dollar prenup and made their marriage official stateside, weeks before their destination affair.

The decision to wed in the U.S. came as no surprise to some legal experts.

No Italian Paper Trail

“Often, marriages in foreign countries are not valid in the U.S. or cause complications,” one Florida attorney explained. “It’s likely they married beforehand to avoid legal pitfalls.”

An Italian source echoed that. “They did not register to wed under Italian law. It’s confirmed, there was no official request.”

City officials in Venice outright denied involvement in the wedding, saying no civil ceremony had been authorized. Italian law requires an affidavit from the U.S. consulate and town hall participation for legal marriage status.

Glamour, Guests and Gold Gowns

Still, the celebration in Venice didn’t lack sparkle. Sanchez stunned in a gold floral Schiaparelli gown, while Bezos opted for a sleek brown suit. The couple shared a romantic kiss aboard a private boat before heading to a welcome dinner.

Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian, and newly single Orlando Bloom were just a few of the high-wattage names in attendance. Guests shuttled between palaces and parties by water taxi, with flashing cameras capturing every angle.

Signed and Sealed Prenup

Behind the scenes, the financial side of this union was handled with precision. At least three prominent attorneys confirmed knowledge of a vast prenuptial agreement between Bezos and Sanchez.

“They can get married anywhere,” one legal source said. “The prenup was drafted to be enforceable across jurisdictions.”

But there’s a catch. “Divorce must occur in the state of primary residence,” the Florida lawyer added. Since the couple resides mainly in Miami, any future split would go through Florida courts.

No Witnesses, No Mayor

Italian wedding law is specific. Civil weddings must happen at the town hall or another designated legal venue with two witnesses and an officiant from city government. None of those requirements appear to have been met.

City officials confirmed to reporters there was no record of such arrangements. One cultural commissioner confirmed that no public venues or legal figures were involved in the Bezos-Sanchez ceremony.

Celebrities Hit the Canal

As legal questions loomed in the background, the celebration powered on. The couple was spotted leaving the Aman Hotel. Sanchez dazzled in vintage Alexander McQueen, while guests like Kim Kardashian rocked snakeskin dresses.

Tom Brady looked dapper as ever, while Khloe and Kris Jenner made grand entrances. Oprah glided out of the Gritti Palace, arm-in-arm with Gayle King.

Even billionaire Barry Diller and designer Diane von Furstenberg arrived by boat. Amazon execs rubbed elbows with NFL legends and Hollywood royalty.

From Miami to Matrimony

Jeff and Lauren’s main residence is in Florida, where Bezos recently snapped up three homes on Indian Creek, aka “Billionaire Bunker.” That Florida address gave them the perfect legal base for their prenup and wedding paperwork.

One thing’s clear: Bezos and Sanchez spared no expense, but also no legal detail.

Legal Wedding, Glamorous Party

Ultimately, this wasn’t just a wedding; it was a global headline. From golden gowns to secret legal filings, Bezos and Sanchez crafted a love story as polished as a diamond ring.

And as the canals of Venice sparkled beneath their water taxis, one thing was certain: the wedding may have been private, but the spectacle was impossible to ignore.
