VENICE, Italy (AP) — Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have invited celebrity friends like fellow space traveler Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey, Mick Jagger and Ivanka Trump for their Venice nuptials later this month, but the couple hopes to put a spotlight on Venice’s traditions during the celebrations.

An officials' statement read, "Protest initiatives are in no way representative of the majority of citizens, who are proud that Venice has been chosen as the wedding location."
