Billionaire Jeff Bezos and fiancée Lauren Sanchez are preparing for an opulent $600 million wedding in Aspen, Colorado. Engaged since May 2023, the couple has selected Matsuhisa, a luxurious sushi restaurant, as the venue for their winter wonderland-themed celebration.

Matsuhisa will be exclusively reserved from December 26 to 27 for the event, hosting an elite guest list of 180. This grand celebration follows their lavish engagement festivities in Positano, Italy, attended by Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Queen Rania of Jordan.

The main ceremony is scheduled for December 28 at Dunbar Ranch, a sprawling 160-acre property owned by actor Kevin Costner. Sources suggest the wedding and related festivities will total an estimated $600 million. Reports also indicate that the couple has arrived in Aspen, fueling anticipation for their star-studded nuptials.

Five-star hotels and private mansions have been secured in Aspen to accommodate the high-profile guests. Vendors from across the country have been enlisted, working under strict non-disclosure agreements to maintain secrecy. Wedding planners described the event as one of the most extravagant in Aspen’s history.

Lauren Sanchez hinted at her wedding dress during an earlier interview on the Today Show. However, the couple has not confirmed further details about the ceremony. Bezos and Sanchez, who started dating in 2019, got engaged last year aboard Bezos’ $500 million superyacht.

The wedding promises to be a spectacular affair, featuring global icons and unmatched luxury. With its exclusive setting, high-profile attendees, and staggering budget, the event is expected to leave a lasting impression.

The casting process for Spider-Man: Homecoming brought unexpected challenges for Laura Harrier, who played Liz Toomes. Harrier recently revealed that she initially believed Zendaya had taken her role after her screen test. Speaking with Net-a-Porter, Harrier shared, “After my screen test, reports surfaced that Zendaya was cast in the movie. I thought I’d lost the role. My agent reassured me I was still in the running, but it was a nerve-wracking moment.”

Zendaya, already a Disney star with a massive fan following, was widely speculated to be playing Mary Jane Watson. Instead, she portrayed MJ, while Harrier took on the role of Liz Toomes, bringing a fresh dynamic to the franchise.

Marvel Studios’ casting of two women of color in key roles was groundbreaking. Harrier praised the studio’s approach: “It wasn’t about our blackness; it was about reflecting the diversity of New York City. That’s what films should do. Zendaya and I had so much fun making the movie, and we’ve remained friends since.”

While Harrier did not return for Spider-Man: Far From Home, she cherishes the relationships formed during her Marvel journey. “Friendships with people like Zendaya, Yara Shahidi, and Alycia Debnam-Carey make this sometimes-strange industry less intimidating and much more rewarding,” Harrier shared.

More than seven years since Spider-Man: Homecoming, Harrier has built a strong career, starring in projects like Ryan Murphy’s Hollywood. Meanwhile, Zendaya has achieved critical acclaim with roles in Dune and Euphoria.

Their shared experience on Spider-Man symbolizes Marvel’s commitment to diversity and highlights the importance of camaraderie in the entertainment world.
