Jeff Bezos wedding – level 3
27-06-2025 15:00
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are hosting a high-profile wedding celebration in Venice, Italy.
Originally planned in the busy nightlife district of Cannaregio, the party location was moved to the historic Arsenal area due to security concerns and fears of protests. The Arsenal, a 14th-century complex surrounded by water, becomes inaccessible by land when its bridges are raised. Around 200 to 250 VIP guests, including Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, are expected to attend. The celebrations will last three days and are estimated to cost between 46 and 55 million dollars. The first private jets began arriving on Tuesday, and five luxury hotels in Venice have been fully booked. Organizers also arranged at least 30 water taxis for transporting guests.
Local activists, including the No Space for Bezos group, criticized the event, saying it turns Venice into a playground for the wealthy. However, they called the move to the isolated Arsenal a great victory. The exact date and location of the wedding ceremony remain confidential.
Difficult words: inaccessible (a place that is difficult to get to), confidential (kept secret or private).
