Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are ready to tie the knot.

The couple arrived in Venice, Italy, on Wednesday — just days before they’ plan to say’ll say “I do” during a lavish wedding ceremony. The former journalist, 55, and the Amazon founder, 61, were photographed getting out of their helicopter in style and being helped into a water taxi.

Sánchez looked chic in a sleeveless black dress, sky-high stilettos and sunglasses, while Bezos wore white pants and a black polo.

The two were clearly in good spirits, smiling and waving at onlookers in their water taxi.

Sánchez was also snapped with a big smile on her face as she was being escorted into a tent by security.

The couple and their guests are staying at the ultra luxe Aman Venice, which comes with a $500,000-a-night price tag. An insider told Page Six, “Guests who had previously booked [at] the hotel for Wednesday night a long time in advance were booted once Bezos rented the entire space a few months ago.”

A-lists guests are said to include Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Barbra Streisand, Kim Kardashian and more. AP
