Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding in Venice sparked interest yet ambivalence among locals. While some vendors participated in the lavish ceremony, many Venetians showed little interest or excitement about the high-profile event. A Business Insider reporter interviewed residents, discovering that the wedding was not a primary topic of discussion among locals, who preferred their morning espresso at the counter over engaging in conversations about the spectacle, highlighting a cultural divide in perspectives on the event amid Venice's ongoing struggles with overtourism.
"On the morning of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding ceremony, I wanted to ask Venetians what they thought of the spectacle dividing the city, so I headed to the one place I knew I'd find locals: a cafe."
"Surprisingly, for some locals, the Bezos-Sanchez wedding isn't exactly the talk of the town."
