Whispers, Wobbles, And Drama: Inside Jeff Bezos' Star-Studded Wedding Chaos

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's $20 million Venice wedding may have been the event of the year.

However, behind the glitz and glamor were slip-ups, stumbles, and surprisingly candid celebrity moments.

Thanks to an expert lip reader, fans now know what really went down as A-listers boarded water taxis, and let’s just say, it wasn’t all smooth sailing.

Expert lip reader,  Nicola Hickling, has revealed some of the everyday struggles celebrities had to deal with during Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's lavish wedding.

Hickling told the Daily Mailthat as Oprah Winfrey approached the water taxi in her glamorous pink gown and matching glasses, her composed presence masked a tinge of unease.

“I need to grab the bottom of my gown,” she told a porter. Pausing dramatically, she added, “Hang on, let me wave, I'm gonna wave,” before insisting, “No, you climb in first.”

As she carefully boarded, Oprah could be heard urging, “Let me hold onto you. Don't let me fall. Be careful with me.” Then, reassuring herself, she said, “It's okay, okay.”

Oprah Winfrey's anxieties were justified.

Fashion mogul Tommy Hilfiger slipped while boarding. “You can go after me,” he said before losing his balance.

Frustrated, he asked, “Why do we need to stand here?” and, after hearing the explanation, muttered, “This is so sh-t.”

A smiling staffer appeared to tease, “You’re drunk, don’t say that.” Hilfiger, now on the boat, threw up a peace sign and laughed it off.

Someone behind him added, “You’re doing this because you’re drunk, and this is why you fall,” prompting Hilfiger to point and say, “I’ve got him who is mad at me.” The man behind him shot back, “Can you just get on?”

Khloé Kardashian's birthday coincidentally fell on the same day as the big wedding, and she celebrated it in style, though not without drama.

As she approached the water taxi in a stunning pale pink gown, she asked, “Is this our taxi?” Turning to her sister, Kim Kardashian, she sighed, “It’s so complicated, oh down we go.” Once on board, Kim said, “Here we go, I'm on,” while Khloé muttered, “I might tumble, let’s sit inside.”

Kylie Jenner, glass of wine in hand, turned to Kendall nervously. “Which way?” she asked a porter. “Can you hold this? Thank you.”

She then told Kendall, “Let’s hold hands and go together.” Kendall offered, “Want me to go?” Kylie stepped aside, stumbled slightly, and exclaimed, “Uh oh.”

Even Kim tried to lighten the mood later that day. While leaving the Gritti Palace Hotel with Khloé en route to more Jeff Bezos wedding festivities, she tried to lift her sister’s spirits, saying, “He’s a fun guy, that’ll make you smile.”

However, the fun guy she was referring to remains a mystery.

While her daughters struggled with their steps while boarding the water taxis, Kris Jenner was unshakably in control.

Boarding the taxi with partner Corey Gamble, she accepted a paper towel to dry off splashes and told the staff, “Tell them I said thanks.”

When a porter asked if she wanted to travel alone, Kris made her stance crystal clear.

“We’re happy to travel on our own, it’s what Kris would like to do,” Corey relayed. However, Kris wasn’t done. Turning to him, she appeared to say, “What are you doing? Do you need to talk?... I told you... for God’s sake... I’d like to travel alone.”

After a brief back-and-forth, Corey exited, then eventually re-boarded the boat with Kris.

Amid the water taxi chaos during the wedding festivities, the day still belonged to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, and the Amazon founder pulled out all the stops for his new bride.

Insiders claimed the billionaire gifted Sánchez a breathtaking diamond necklace and matching earrings worth between $3 million and $5 million.

“It’s a diamond necklace that circles her neck with a large center stone and matching earrings,” a source told Page Six.

The insider said of the jewelry piece, “You won’t be able to miss this elegant diamond necklace as it’s almost as massive as Jeff’s superyacht.”

They added, “Lauren is thrilled with her blinding new necklace and earrings that take her already impressive collection up several notches.”
