Amazon boss Jeff Bezos’ plans to marry his fiancee, former TV journalist, Lauren Sánchez in Venice this weekend have been met with protests from locals who feel the event is taking over the city.

According to reports in the Italian press, wedding planners have fully booked five of Venice’s plushest hotels and reserved almost the entire fleet of the city’s water taxis as well as a dock for Bezos’s mega-yacht, with hundreds of guests expected.

We’d like to hear from couples who have weddings planned in Venice this weekend. Apart from the ceremony, do you have any other events organised for your forthcoming nuptials? Do you have any concerns about your guests travelling to the city?
