His bride wore an elegant cream Dior suit to get there, with a choice of designer dresses lined up for the exchange of vows. Dozens of A-list guests flew in for the occasion in a fleet of private jets.<br \/>\nThe extravagance and opulence of the wedding also set off a string of protests in Venice. Bezos said he would donate more than a million to local charities.
