Jeff Bezos & Lauren Sanchez
Even Our Billions Can’t Shut Down Wedding Island …
Just Half of It!!!

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez can’t buy everything in the world with Amazon money, it turns out … ’cause the island they’re getting married on isn’t closed completely!
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … businesses on one side of the island of San Giorgio Maggiore — including two museums, the sailing club and a café — are open all day and will close at normal times, and the side of the island they’re on won’t be shut down for the event.
However, the islet is set into two pretty distinct parts … with one half covered by businesses and the other dominated by the Basilica of San Giorgio Maggiore and the Teatro Verde — an amphitheater — as well as sprawling greenery.
We’re told guests are going to stay on that side of the island … and will most likely arrive at the side with the church and amphitheater on it instead of walking through the other side.
Our sources say there’s a simple reason Sanchezos can’t shut the whole place down … the island isn’t available to totally rent out — no matter where you rank on Forbes’ World’s Billionaires List.
The wedding ceremony is expected to take place soon … unclear if guests will have their phones or if they have to surrender them like they’ve been doing.
The weather looks good on the small island — which is about 25 acres in total size — with lots of sunshine, as Lauren arrived in a stylish white dress earlier today … and, a repeat of last night’s torrential downpour is not expected.
Bottom line … if you’re a tourist in the area, you can always head over to the island for a coffee and a museum tour — just don’t expect to see Leonardo DiCaprio or Kim Kardashian!
