The journalist’s big day was even more special as her two Nikko and Evan did the honors of walking her down the glamorous aisle to meet the love of her life.
Her 17-year-old daughter, Ella, reportedly took on the role of maid of honor, ensuring that her mother was well cared for. Ella also delivered a reading at the wedding, matching with her mother in a Dolce & Gabbana suit.
The wedding was held in a strictly black-tie ceremony on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, Italy, on Friday. Sánchez looked angelic in a custom-made Dolce & Gabbana mermaid-styled dress with a high neck and corset.
Sánchez had gushed about how the whole design team and she had enjoyed styling the kids during her interview with Vogue. She noted that her daughter, who is not particularly a fan of dressing up, even enjoyed the process.

Now that their life is sealed in ink, Sánchez did not forget to inform the world that she is now officially a Bezos. Her first course of action was updating her Instagram account to reflect the name "Lauren Sánchez Bezos."
As reported by The Blast, it is unclear whether her name has been legally changed to reflect Bezos, but her social media followers are free to refer to her by that name.
She also deleted all her previous posts and started her Instagram feed on a clean slate, with the very first picture being one of her and her husband wearing the biggest smiles.
The first look from the ceremony showed the duo posing against a backdrop of their equally happy guests. Bezos could not hold back his joy as he carefully placed his arm on his now-legal wife’s lower back.
The journalist’s celebrity friends, including Kim Kardashian, Piers Morgan, and Katy Perry, reacted to the post.

Sánchez was more than willing to give fans a full run-down of her modest dress, revealing that while it may appear so simple, it carries a rich history. She posted pictures of herself during fitting sessions surrounded by a team of designers and wardrobe experts at Dolce & Gabbana.
Sánchez's dress featured an Italian lace-covered neckline sitting on a mermaid frame and finished with a corseted button-up bodice and a short, flowy train. "Not just a gown, a piece of poetry. Thank you @dolcegabbana for the magic you made," the journalist penned down in the caption.
The slides from Sánchez's post demonstrated that she collaborated closely with the team to achieve her dream of a wedding dress. Domenico Dolce was even spotted putting the veil in place during fittings, as shown in the slides she uploaded.
