Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos are expected to walk down the aisle next month and the unusual venue for the ceremony is raising some eyebrows.
The couple, who have reportedly booked Elton John and Lady Gaga to perform, could say their ‘I dos’ on a Venetian island in an open-air theater.
‘The word is that they have booked the theater which has been restored,’ a source told The US Sun.
‘It’s not your usual venue for a wedding, it would be iconic,’ the alleged insider asserted adding, ‘Everyone is talking about the wedding and it’s going to be a huge celebration.’
The outlet said it chose not to identify the venue, but had checked and could confirm dates had been blocked out for two weeks around the time the wedding was set to take place, which is supposed to be between June 24 and 26.
The billionaire, his bride and some 200 guests have reportedly already booked rooms at the best hotels.
