The article describes the extravagant celebrations surrounding Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding in Venice, dubbed the "wedding of the century." Despite a glamorous guest list, including Bill Gates, many attendees appeared less than thrilled, with some bolting to avoid social events like a life drawing and party. The grandeur of the festivities, featuring various themed parties, contrasted with the unclear connections between guests and the couple, emphasizing a superficial gathering of the rich and famous, drawing in numerous high-profile individuals who seemed ambivalent about their attendance.
Gates was in Venice as a guest at the little-reported union of Jeff Bezos to Lauren Sanchez. The wedding of the century saw the Floating City at risk of sinking under the weight of expectation.
What seemed more likely was that invitations were sent to the 1,000 wealthiest and most famous people on the planet, and around 200 thought: 'Yeah, why not? I'm free that weekend.'
There were superstars, foreign dignitaries, fashion doyennes, middling celebrities and miscellaneous rich people, but the thread between most of them and the happy couple was rarely clear.
Some guests were surely ready to flee Venice when dozens left to avoid the day-four life drawing and tarot after-after-after party.
