Lauren Sanchez stuns in $20 million white gown as she and Jeff Bezos share first photos from Venice wedding

Lauren Sanchez has shared the first look at her stunning wedding dress from her and Jeff Bezos’ $20 million Venetian wedding in front of their glamorous celebrity friends.
The bride, 55, took to Instagram moments after saying ‘I do’ to share a snap of her and her new husband together, where she showed off her glamorous Dolce & Gabbana gown.
Described as the ‘wedding of a century,’ the 61-year-old Amazon founder and the former journalist have welcomed nearly 200 VIPs to Venice for three days of lavish celebrations.
Oprah Winfrey, Ivanka Trump, Usher, Kim Kardashian, and Orlando Bloom are among the stars who have traveled to Italian city to watch the couple exchange vows – two years after Bezos asked Sanchez to marry him on his $500 million superyacht.
The romantic ceremony took place on San Giorgio Maggiore island, and guests were treated to trumpets, violins and a Gospel Choir when they arrived.
The festivities kicked off earlier in the week, and the multi-day affair is said to have cost $20 million.
Last night, as the couple enjoyed a pre-wedding party inside the historic Madonna dell’Orto cloisters, it was revealed Bezos and Sanchez had already married legally.
But the couple’s lavish celebration has been far from plain sailing with a freak thunderstorm forcing guests to take cover during Thursday night’s party and protesters planning to disrupt the celebrations, even forcing a late venue change.
Lauren Sanchez calls her stunning gown a ‘piece of poetry’ as she shares behind-the-scenes look at her pre-wedding preparations
Lauren gave fans a glimpse into her wedding preparations on Instagram, revealing it took a massive team to get her into her stunning gown.
One photo showed her surrounded by seven different people as she put on the Dolce & Gabbana dress.
Two of them were seen adjusting the back of it while a third worked on the enormous train; the rest stood around the blushing bride.
In the caption, she wrote, ‘Not just a gown, a piece of poetry. Thank you @DolceGabbana for the magic you made.’
Another image showed her standing in the gown, while a third featured a man helping her put her veil on.
