In fairness to the couple, the bulk of protests aren’t about Jeff and Lauren tying the knot, the people of Venice aren’t terribly worried about their union. Many of the protests are about Venice, a city with very limited space, being used as a playground for billionaires, and about how the extreme levels of tourism render the city an uncomfortable place to live for actual Venetians.

I can’t help thinking that Lauren and Jeff’s wedding might signify the official ending to the “Mega Wedding”. That all the backlash will lead to a sort of trickle down social economics thing where us normies are put off the formerly aspirational celebrity wedding because it all just sounds a bit… much.
I’m only in my early thirties and the idea of having to go to a foam party feels painfully juvenile, so I’m not really sure how people in their fifties are going to find the experience of getting foam sprayed into their eyes while navigating sea sickness.
The weddings with the endlessly enormous budgets often seem to be the least fun, though, picking overly fancy locations where it’s impossible to cut loose, or serving a sliver of wood pigeon for the meal when everyone really just wants a plate of carbs.

Perhaps it’s my snobby Britishness, but I can’t help thinking that the Bezos wedding is suffering from having too few limitations. When you’re that rich, there’s nothing you can’t do, which must make it enormously easy to lose sight of good sense and, sadly, good taste.
It would also, helpfully, have avoided becoming a shorthand for a tourism crisis in a sinking city, the kind of wedding unlikely to attract literal protests. But perhaps I’m speaking of the kind of retrained good sense that seems to evaporate once you become one of the richest men in the world.
