Rain caused quite a stir.
Attendees at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s pre-wedding celebration found themselves drenched as a thunderstorm unexpectedly interrupted the festivities in Venice, Italy, on Thursday evening.
Sanchez was spotted exiting the Madonna Delto church, hurrying to her water taxi while staff members sheltered her with umbrellas.
Kim and Khloe Kardashian were also seen making a run for their taxis amidst the downpour.
Meanwhile, Chris, Kendall, and Kylie Jenner were also making their swift exits.
Kylie shared images of the rainy water taxi ride on her social media account.
The heavy rain prompted the early conclusion of the party, with a water taxi being prepared just 45 minutes before the event was supposed to end.
Oprah Winfrey appeared to be in high spirits, alongside her friend Gale King, as they made their way to a water taxi. Orlando Bloom was also photographed smiling and chatting while waiting to leave.
An observer noted the unpredictability of the weather, saying, “You can have all the money in the world, but you can’t control the weather.” They added, referencing an Italian saying, that “wet brides are lucky brides.”
This event kicked off a three-day wedding celebration for Bezos and Sanchez.
Numerous celebrities, including the Kardashian-Jenner clan, Ivanka Trump, and Tom Brady, were photographed departing the hotel en route to the pre-wedding party.
The 61-year-old Amazon founder and his bride, who are already married, were seen sharing a kiss as they rode to the party.
Sanchez donned a strapless couture gown, elegantly styled with her hair pulled back into a ponytail.
Sources reveal that guests remain unaware of the weekend’s specific wedding plans. “The guests don’t know where,” one insider said. “They weren’t given the time and details. They just go wherever they’re taken.”
