Tying The Knot

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are in a state of bliss post-wedding, floating like a water taxi through Venice ... and locking lips on a ship as hundreds of photogs snapped pics.

JB and LS were spotted in the city Saturday ... and, they gave paparazzi a show -- full of smiling, waving and, eventually, a big old kiss.

The two are dressed to the nines in the pics ... clearly headed to the next big event of their wedding week.

Only the star-studded wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Bezos could make Paris Fashion Week look like an also-ran of who's who.

Over on the Boot ... the billionaire and now-bride were living it up with 200 of the richest and powerful people on the globe ... while over in City of Light, stars who did not land a wedding invite were strutting their stuff.

Paris Fashion Week participants included the likes of Rihanna, Sabrina Carpenter, Tori Brixx, Rich The Kid, Duarte and Delphin Musquet -- certainly no slouches in the world of fame!

There has been rampant speculation about where exactly Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez would say their "I do's" for the epic days-long celebration in Italy ... and now we know it was all well-"staged."

Aerial snaps of Venice's historic island of San Giorgio Maggiore showed a portion of the ceremony took place at Teatro Verde -- "Green Theater" -- close to the edge of the tiny island.

See for yourself ... it's clear a massive structure was constructed for the event -- and it was more than big enough to hold the 200 superstars invited to celebrate with the couple.

Orlando Bloom is playing it cool at the Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez wedding ... he's single after splitting from Katy Perry, but we've learned he's not trying to hook up with other wedding guests.

Our sources tell us Orlando is being very guarded in the way he's dealing with women in Venice ... even though he's around some very sexy, single and eligible celebs.

Orlando's in the midst of party central at The Gritti Hotel in Venice ... but he's mostly been bro'ing out with Tom Brady, Leonardo DiCaprio and Scooter Braun.

Jeff Bezos is keeping it classic on his wedding day ... because he's rocking a tuxedo.

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.

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.

We're told Kygo's a close friend of the soon-to-be husband-and-wife duo ... and, he's ready to rock the iconic Italian city to celebrate their love!

We caught Kim and Khloe Kardashian smiling as they surfaced at Marco Polo Airport ... Kim wearing a two-piece set from Balenciaga and KoKo showing off her assets in a skin-tight cheetah-print mini-dress. Their mother, Kris Jenner, also appeared to be in high spirits as she rocked a flowing, comfy-for-travel gown.

Orlando Bloom is psyched to let loose at the Bezos/Sanchez wedding, and all indications are ... he's now a single man.

Sources in the know tell TMZ ... Orlando may make his debut as a single man during the festivities. As one source put it, "He's the life of the party and he's gonna hit the dance floor hard!"

We're told Orlando might even sneak away with Leo DiCaprio for some bar crawling!

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.
