Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos ridiculed by tech giant over wedding detail
Billionaire Jeff Bezos has just tied the knot with Lauren Sanchez in a luxurious ceremony in picturesque Venice, Italy.
Their long-awaited day, dubbed the ‘wedding of the century,’ was flooded with A-list stars and celebrity friends who journeyed to enjoy the $20 million wedding.
Despite designer dresses and crisp tuxes, there was one aspect of the fabulous day that raised eyebrows – the couple’s initial invitation.
The invite, which was obtained by ABC News earlier this week, featured what appeared to be computer-generated designs of butterflies, doves, the Venice canals, gondolas, and feathers in purple, gray and pink.
But, on Thursday, Adobe Express – a content creator tool – took to Instagram with a subtle slight to the bride and groom.
After receiving mixed reviews about their ‘cringe’ wedding invitation, the creative tool posted a much more sophisticated-looking version.
‘I know you said no gifts, but… it really only took us a couple minutes. XOXO, Adobe Express,’ the post’s caption read.
The new design was set on a cream backdrop with one lone butterfly at the top above a sleek line and the words, ‘Jeff & Lauren.’
In large, swirly font, it read, ‘Join us in Venice’ before it mirrored the text on the newlywed’s invitation.
‘We’re excited for you to join us! We have one early request: please, no gifts,’ it read.
‘Instead, we’re making contributions in your honor and with gratitude to you for making the journey to celebrate with us in Venice.
‘Donations on your behalf are being made to the UNESCO Venice Office to safeguard the city’s irreplaceable cultural heritage, to CORILA to restore the lagoon habitats that protect Venice’s future, and to Venice International University to support research and education for sustainable solutions.
‘This magical place has gifted us unforgettable memories. Our hope is that through these efforts and by you joining us, Venice will continue to inspire wonder for generations to come.’
Fans were quick to flood the comments, praising Adobe Express for its cleverness as it poked fun at the newlyweds.
‘Jeff could have used a little help from Express,’ one user stated.
‘The Adobe Express social team working overtime for this masterpiece,’ another wrote.
‘Jeff Bezos works hard but the Adobe social team works harder,’ someone else joked.
‘The world is on fire, but I deeply respect the shade game of whoever is running the @AdobeExpress Instagram account. Dragging Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez on their ugly Venice wedding invites,’ someone wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Others were shocked after realizing the invitation with birds and butterflies was that which was actually sent out to celebrity guests.
‘Wait… what?!? They sent the second slide? Seriously?’ a comment said.
‘I was so confused – I legit thought the first one *was* the invite. What in the Word Clip Art is going on in the second slide??’ a user asked.
Last night it was revealed Bezos, 61, and Sanchez, 55, have already married legally ahead of today’s ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore Island.

It came as guests including Kylie Jenner were forced to take cover from a freak thunderstorm during the couple’s pre-wedding party inside the historic Madonna dell’Orto cloisters.
A-listers including many of the Kardashian sisters and Kris Jenner, Oprah Winfrey and Orlando Bloom jetted in to Italy earlier this week for the nuptials which come two years after Bezos asked Sanchez to marry him on his $500 million superyacht.
But preparations for the couple’s big day have been far from plain sailing with protesters planning to disrupt the celebrations, even forcing a late venue change.

She doubled down with a blistering message that’s already going viral: “Shoot this right into my veins—it’s exactly what we all need to hear and say.” Then came the sharpest warning yet: “The criminal in the White House will not be able to save you.” And she wasn’t finished. Sheriff Bilal went on to reveal a new measure—one that supporters are already calling one of the boldest and most powerful actions ever taken against federal overreach.
