Weddings are always a celebratory occasion. But the upcoming wedding of Amazon founder and billionaire Jeff Bezos, 61, and journalist Laura Sanchez, 55, in Venice, Italy is raising tensions among the residents of the famous tourist destination.
Locals tired of over-tourism held a protest against the wedding last week, fearing the impact of the throng of celebrity guests on the scenic city. Local authorities have assured that Bezo’s guests will be limited to 200 and they won’t disrupt Venetians’ everyday life, according to a Reuters report.
Meanwhile, a 42-year-old Texas man received on 13 June a gift bag containing Bath & Body Works products. Also in the bag were a copy of his marriage certificate and a photo showing the sender, Kristin Marie Spearman, 36, holding up the document.
The recipient reported the matter to the police, telling them that while he and Spearman went to the county clerk’s office to obtain a marriage license on 2 June, they never made it to the altar because they got into an argument and broke up, New York Post reports.
