Tying The Knot

Tom Brady and Orlando Bloom are making it easy for all the single ladies in Venice ... with the two bachelors cruising around town in the same water taxi ahead of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding!!

The NFL G.O.A.T. and British actor kept it casual as they hopped in a boat together on Friday ... with TB12 rocking a white shirt, black shorts, green hat and some Nike sneakers -- and Bloom electing to bare his arms with a black tank and shirt and white shorts.

The hunky stags were accompanied by friends -- including Scooter Braun and Alex Spiro -- for the ride through the canals ... although it's unclear where exactly they were headed.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez made it crystal clear no grumpy locals were gonna rain on their parade ... but Mother Nature had other plans, literally soaking them before their big "I do."

Catch the clip ... Jeff and Lauren got hit with a serious downpour after their Italian rehearsal dinner bash Thursday -- the billionaire holding onto his bride-to-be with one hand and sporting an umbrella in the other as they scrambled to a water taxi.

There were a bunch of security guards hovering to make sure the soggy dash went off without a hitch -- but all good, Jeff and Lauren looked totally chill as they kept the party going.

The KarJenner clan might be going to the wedding of the century ... but, they won't be playing second fiddle to the bride and groom -- 'cause they're already stealing a ton of attention with their fashionable looks!

Kim Kardashian led the group out of a swanky Venetian hotel, slithering through the streets in a gorgeous low-cut, snake-print ensemble ... kicking off the festivities for Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.

KK and her sister Khloé Kardashian -- clad in a tight silver-and-black cocktail dress -- were throwing up peace signs as they floated down the canal in a little boat while a pal took a pic of them.

Brooke Schofield just confirmed all the online rumors ... because she announced on her Instagram today that her Cabo vacay turned out to be an "engagement-moon" with her now-fiancé Miles McFly!!!

The "Cancelled" Podcast cohost -- alongside bestie Tana Mongeau -- is arriving back in the States with a ring on her finger after fans have been speculating for weeks the content creator is secretly engaged.

Earlier this month, Brooke made an oopsie by posting a video accidentally flashing a ring on THAT finger ... but she addressed it with a comment claiming she was "just manifesting" -- so she was either lying, or she needs to give us tips on talking to the universe.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are kissing like there’s no tomorrow -- playing lovestruck teens while cruising to their fairy tale wedding rehearsal in Venice … while all the world watches.

The PDA was full throttle -- the couple were smooching and waving like royalty from their water taxi Thursday, with Jeff grinning ear to ear and Lauren beaming just as hard ... looking surprisingly comfortable for someone dripping in extreme, skintight couture

Lauren was serving bombshell -- rocking a sculpted off-the-shoulder midi with a metallic bodysuit that snatched her waist to perfection. If there was a pre-wedding health kick, it definitely did the job!

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have a big surprise for their A-list wedding guests -- whisking them away to a top secret location, but before they depart they gotta part ways with their phones ... TMZ has learned.

The wedding festivities are in full swing right now ... with some of the celebs sitting down for a fancy rehearsal dinner ahead. After that, our sources tell us all the guests are heading to a mystery island near Venice -- but, no one's been told where the fun's going down.

We're told most of the Bezos-Sanchez partygoers spent most of Thursday lounging by the pool of the swanky Hotel Cipriani, and some others chilled at fabulous restaurants around the Floating City.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are going with a DJ instead of a live band for at least one performance during their wedding week ... and, they're bringing out the best -- Kygo!

Multiple sources connected to the couple and Kygo tell TMZ ... the Norwegian DJ is headed to the City of Canals this week to perform at one of Jeff and Lauren's many wedding events.

Not all Venetians are losing sleep over Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez tying the knot in their city -- in fact, TikToker and proud local Giulia Raffaello is welcoming the whole circus with open arms.

Giulia joined us Tuesday on "TMZ Live" to point out ... this isn’t the first celeb wedding Venice has hosted, and when done right, these events breathe life into the floating city. Think support for small businesses, jobs for locals and a rare spotlight on forgotten Venetian gems.

While critics and protestors are up in arms over Bezos' billions, Giulia says the focus should be on what’s really impacting Venice day to day -- not a couple dropping serious cash and lots of good intentions for local citizens.

And about all those heavily scheduled wedding events? Giulia’s betting the merchants of Venice ... boat drivers, flower vendors and other community pros are already in the mix.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez don't want any gifts for getting married ... and their wedding invite says as much.

The billionaire and his fiancée sent out wedding invites making it clear they don't want presents and are instead making donations in their guests' honor to organizations that benefit Venice, Italy, where the wedding is happening.

The invitation, first obtained by 'GMA,' features a bunch of imagery from Venice ... canals and gondolas ... plus shooting stars, birds and butterflies.

A handful of businesses in Venice, Italy are reaping the rewards of the Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez wedding -- but, others are worried their city is ripe for a terrorist attack with local authorities focused on the days-long event and subsequent protests.

TMZ spoke with several Venetian businesses, and most were more worried about what the wedding will do to the city -- rather than being optimistic about what it would do FOR the city.

An employee of the historic restaurant Enoteca Al Volto tells TMZ ... she and locals she's chatted with only reaction to the wedding is fear city leaders and law enforcement are so laser-focused on security for the roughly 200 A-list, ultra-wealthy guests ... a blind spot may exist for a terrorist attack.

Ivanka Trump is rolling into Venice serving looks -- sunnies on, chic 'fit locked in, and Jared Kushner by her side -- all set to slay at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s luxe 'I do’s.'

Catch the pics -- Ivanka was giving full-on sweltering Euro summer vibes in a patterned two-piece set as she and Jared boarded a boat Tuesday, likely en route to the ultra-posh Aman Venice hotel ... aka HQ for Bezos, Sanchez, and their A-list wedding squad.

With under 200 names on the guest list, Ivanka was a no-brainer -- especially with that effortlessly luxe style that screams VIP and upscale glam.

Those hoping to hear more about Aaron Rodgers' wife can stop holding their breath ... the quarterback just made it crystal clear he's going to keep his relationship private.

The new Steelers star finally addressed his recent marriage on Tuesday's "The Pat McAfee Show" ... and as he was talking about the matter, his frustration with those prying into the minutia of it was palpable.

Rodgers ranted for several minutes about how pissed he was with the way people have been obsessed with trying to find out more about his forever partner.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have range -- they and their guests will move from PJs to Gatsby-esque fashion during the 3 day festivities.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... one of the theme nights will be a swanky cocktail party where guests will dress like F. Scott Fitzgerald's famed character.

We're told lots of the guests have had designers turn the imaginary outfits into real life.

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding will be the G.O.A.T. -- or at least in the presence of one ... 'cause TMZ Sports has learned Tom Brady is slated to attend the festivities!!

We're told TB12 is one of countless big names on the guest list for the Amazon billionaire's nuptials in Venice this week ... even though just under 200 people are expected to be there.
