Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has married American broadcaster Lauren Sánchez, according to Vogue. The couple is celebrating their wedding in Venice, Italy, from June 26 to 29, in what many have dubbed the wedding of the century.

Venice residents staged protests against the event, reportedly planning to block off streets and canals. In response, Bezos and Sánchez asked their guests to donate to Venetian charities instead of giving wedding gifts. The couple also pledged €1 mln to help protect the Venetian Lagoon.
