Philanthropist and entrepreneur Mona Patel , accompanied by her husband Dr. Chintan Desai, made a glamorous arrival in Venice this weekend for the much-anticipated wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and media personality Lauren Sánchez.
Dressed in head-to-toe Dolce & Gabbana, Mona joined an exclusive guest list that included global A-listers, tech moguls, and Hollywood royalty. “My heart was filled with love and emotion witnessing this magical union and beautiful vows,” she told us. “Lauren looked radiant, and every detail felt deeply personal and full of heart. I felt honored to witness such an intimate and meaningful moment in their lives. Lauren is one of the most generous, radiant souls I know, and seeing her so happy was incredibly moving. She brings light wherever she goes.”
The wedding, held at a private palazzo overlooking the Grand Canal, was a blend of old-world Venetian romance and contemporary luxury. With candlelit tables, opulent florals, and gondoliers ferrying guests along the water, the multi-day celebration was as extravagant as it was heartfelt. Sources close to the event say the couple exchanged vows during golden hour, with Lauren wearing a custom couture gown and Jeff keeping it classic in a white tuxedo.
The weekend included private dinners, an art-themed cocktail reception, and a farewell brunch hosted on a yacht. While guests kept most of the details off social media, insiders say the atmosphere was equal parts luxurious and heartfelt — a true reflection of the couple’s journey together.
