Venice, Italy, is buzzing as Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez prepare to tie the knot on June 28, with a five-day celebration packed with celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Leonardo DiCaprio. But one name on the guest list, former President Donald Trump, won’t be there, despite an invite, leaving fans and followers curious about his absence from this star-studded event.
The couple’s wedding plans hit a bump when protests from “No Space for Bezos,” upset about Venice’s overtourism, forced a venue change. Still, the festivities are in full swing, with A-listers like Tom Brady and Orlando Bloom joining the party. Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband, plus Donald Trump Jr., will attend, but Trump himself had to pass due to scheduling issues, as White House officials told The Telegraph.
A leaked wedding invitation has added to the excitement, though not for the reasons you’d expect. It asked guests to skip gifts, with donations made in their honor to UNESCO for Venice’s heritage, CORILA for lagoon protection, and Venice International University for sustainability research. It read, “We’re so excited you’re here. We’re donating to Venice’s future in your name to keep this city magical.” The message was sweet, but the design got roasted online, with comments like “Microsoft Paint vibes” or “made on Canva during a quick space trip.”
Trump’s absence is raising eyebrows, especially since he’s known for sharing his thoughts on everything via Truth Social. Missing such a high-profile wedding seems out of character, but with his family there, he’s still connected to the event. The mix of celebrity sightings and the invite’s quirky design has kept social media buzzing.
Bezos and Sanchez’s wedding is shaping up to be a glamorous spectacle, with a focus on giving back to Venice. Trump’s no-show adds a dash of intrigue, but the real story is the couple’s big day, blending star power with a mission to preserve a beloved city. It’s a celebration that’s got everyone talking.
