The over-the-top party in the photogenic Italian city mixed Hollywood, Silicon Valley and political overtones.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Venice\u2019s canals filled with polished motorboats bearing Hollywood stars, millionaires and Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian in a cape of pink feathers as they headed to Jeff Bezos\u2019 wedding to Lauren S\u00e1nchez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, it was the turn of dozens of public order police officers on foot, boats and water skis.<\/p>\n

A day after Ms. S\u00e1nchez took to Instagram on Friday night to introduce herself to the world as Lauren Sanchez-Bezos, wearing a lacy white mermaid dress, Venice braced for protesters who threatened to descend again on the city to voice their anger over the wedding \u2014 and armed conflict around the world.<\/p>\n

Despite his efforts to have a private if star-studded multimillion-dollar wedding in Venice, Mr. Bezos\u2019 wealth and powerful connections left the couple\u2019s thoroughly curated celebrations caught up in an intensely political and moral debate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

From Venetian bars to British newspapers and even among Italian politicians in Rome, the wedding became a topic of conversation, focusing not on the bride\u2019s outfits, but on Mr. Bezos\u2019 businesses, money and friends.<\/p>\n

The result was an over-the-top party in one of the world\u2019s most stunning cities mixing Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Ivanka Trump and political overtones.<\/p>\n
