Jeff Bezos wedding – level 2

27-06-2025 15:00

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez will have a big wedding party in Venice, Italy.

At first, the party was planned in a busy area called Cannaregio. But now, it will happen in a quiet, old place called the Arsenal. This place is hard to reach because it is surrounded by water.

Around 200 to 250 special guests will come. Some guests, like Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, already arrived. The party will last three days and cost up to 55 million dollars. People are flying in with private jets, and five luxury hotels are fully booked.

Some local people are not happy and plan peaceful protests. They say Venice is becoming a fun park for rich people. The exact day and place of the wedding are still a secret.

Difficult words: surrounded (all around), luxury (expensive), secrets (something the others don’t know about).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

Why do some local people plan peaceful protests against the wedding party in Venice?
