JEFF Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are getting ready to marry in an “extravagant” Aspen ceremony with their A-list friends during Christmas.
An insider exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Bezos, 60, and Sanchez, 54, have been quietly planning their star-studded wedding for the holiday season.
“They’re getting ready for a winter wonderland wedding in Aspen this Christmas,” the insider said of the Amazon founder and his soon-to-be bride.
“They’re planning an extravagant ceremony and are sparing no expense in creating a white Christmas affair,” the insider continued.
The fete is expected to be a star-studded event, with the who’s who of Hollywood and business expected to attend.
The couple, who are often spotted around Aspen, found the town to be the “perfect location” for their long-awaited wedding.
Guests can expect “festive décor, twinkling lights, and holiday charm.”
The well-placed source says the nuptials are “shaping up to be the event of the season.”
“He loves her and would marry her tomorrow, the only thing holding up the wedding is his, and her, lawyers.”
The U.S. Sun exclusively reported that Bezos’ 60th birthday party earlier this year was packed with star power, and their wedding is gearing to be no different.
The couple was seen taking in the scenery and enjoying the winter wonderland in Aspen together over the Christmas season back in 2022.
Bezos proposed in May of 2023 while they were on vacation in the South of France aboard his super-yacht.
AN AMAZON-ING RELATIONSHIP
The pair began dating while Sanchez was still working her way through a divorce from her husband of 13 years, Patrick Whitesell.
They came out publicly as a couple in 2019.
After their engagement, they celebrated with a party in Positano, Italy, with other big names in attendance, including Bill Gates, Leonard DiCaprio, and Queen Rania of Joran, according to Page Six.
