Gondolas and guerrillas: divisive Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez wedding in full swing | Jeff Bezos
Black Death. Byron sneaky. Rising water levels. Cruise sends the size of the city blocks. For centuries, Venice may have endured many turbulent events and ominous difficulties, but rarely in its long history, the world’s fourth richest people had to deal with a strange and quite separatist issue as the marriage.
Friday found what the city of Lagun has done best: it looks great and a little unreal while hosting thousands of tourists posing in silver gondolas, pulling Spritzes in the middle of the morning or just fading in faucet temperature.
However, in front of the water coming from St Mark’s Square, the big day of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez was beginning. The exact choreography of the events may not be completely open, but there was definitely things on the island of Küçük San Gorgio Maggiore, where the couple was caused by the commitment of eternal love and loyalty in front of a crowd of 200 famous guests.
A handful of camera crew, a pair of tight lips, but polite individuals sitting in front of the monitors under a gazebo and politely eliminated the demands of information Giorgio Cini Foundation wandered around the entrance.
And no, they didn’t really know when the ceremony would start. According to reports, the couple has already tied the node in the US, and the event on Friday is only symbolic.
A local man, a hundred meters away, pulled the deck of the deck of the boat in the port of the island, presented a little boring of an unknown laconic, known as the “wedding of the century ..
What did he do from the whole fuss? Orum I never think of that, ”he said. “I don’t care.”
Wedding celebrations, which started seriously on Thursday night and caused the peak in a reception at the Arsenale Historical Shipyard Complex on Saturday, divided the city into three groups. There are those who don’t care like a yacht; There are angry ones who prostrated themselves before a man with an estimated net value of Venice, and like the mayor of the city, there are those who see Extravaganza £ 40 million as a pleasant currency curve and a great showcase for the attraction centers of the region.
Bezos and Sánchez’s famous friends do not seem to have been postponed by the debates that have seen creative protests in the last few days-including a reserve arma rumors of inflating blockable crocodiles.
On Thursday night, celebrities such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Oprah Winfrey, Kim Kardashian, Ivanka Trump, Tom Brady and Orlando Bloom attended the monastery of Madonna Dell’orto, a 14th century church in Cannaregio region.
However, another incompetent show shows this. Just before 11:00, a green laser was used to syllab the slogan “No King, No Bezos” in Belltower on St Mark’s Square. In recent days, similar guerrilla actions involved the emergence of a poster reading: iz If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more taxes. ”
A coalition of the groups behind the protests-groups angry with the sale of the city, housing activists and anti-cruise ship campaignists-pentning’s “None for Bezos” says the alliance. At least the threat of releasing the crocodile fleet of the explosion, but at least the couple’s reception, a 16th century magnificent building in the city center Scuola Grande Della Misericordia asked to change more private Arsenale.
Others take a different look on the superyats and 90 special jets descending to Venice this week. Luigi Brugnaro, the mayor of the city, dismissed the protesters as “shameful ve and said that the Bezos-Sánchez Union would fill the Venice chests.
This view is shared by Italy’s Tourism Minister Daniela Santanchè.
“There will be photos everywhere, social media will go crazy on the bride’s dress,” Associated Press said.
“All this turns into a big free promotion campaign. In fact, they will enrich Venice because they will spend a lot of money – tradesmen, craftsmen, restaurants, hotels. So a great opportunity to spend and introduce Italy in the world.”
But a man has his own reasons to wish the best to the founder of Amazon.
Cagdas Halicilar, a 47 -year -old German who runs a delivery truck company, has a very convincing bezos -like side line.
He had traveled to Venice to greet and mix the crowds, and also hoped to encounter a quick encounter with Bezos, so he could give him a 3,000 € (£ 2,600) bottle whiskey he bought as a wedding gift.
“I noticed similarity three years ago,” he said. “My life has changed a lot since then. Wherever I go, people ‘Jeff! Jeff!’.”
On Thursday night, he approached Doppelgänger near a beautiful burgundy boat, close to Doppelgänger.
“He saw me, and I waved my hand and gave me a thumb,” he said. “I was very happy. I cried.”
If the German delivery boss finally meets Bezos, he has a simple message.
“I will tell him that I am proud to look like him. That’s not all. He’s not arrogant and he has a big heart. He makes people smile and I am a great fan.”
(Also, if Bezos reads this piece, he hopes that his people can hold a meeting to deliver whiskey.)
As the day we wore secret preparations continued and the vicious June Sun was beaten in tourists, guests and journalists, a visitor San Gorgio Maggiore proceeded around. All this is proof if more evidence of the great power of the 21st century super wealth is needed.
“This is strange,” the woman from Northern Spain said. “Is it two hundred and fifty guests and € 50 million? So I don’t get anything in Amazon.”
