Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have invited celebrity friends like fellow space traveler Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey, Mick Jagger and Ivanka Trump for their Venice nuptials later this month, but the couple hopes to put a spotlight on Venice’s own traditions during the celebrations.

Residents of Venice, already fed up with crowds of tourists cramming into their canal city, now have one more gripe: Jeff Bezos. The UNESCO-listed city, famous for its romantic gondolas and canals, is a favourite spot for lovers.

Protesters in Venice are trying to stop Amazon founder Jeff Bezos from marrying Lauren Sanchez in their crowded city. Celebs are expected to swarm the area for three-day event.
