Celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Bill Gates, and Oprah Winfrey are arriving in Venice to attend the extravagant wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.
Usher, Kylie Jenner, and Ivanka Trump were among those seen boarding water taxis before the lavish ceremony, which is expected to take place this weekend and cost more than €40m (Sh7 112 376 000).

It's the wedding that everyone is talking about - US tech billionaire Jeff Bezos is set to marry TV presenter Lauren Sanchez, and the million-dollar party in Venice has caused quite a stir.
Activists have been protesting against the event, with "No Space for Bezos" posters and banners plastered across the city.
But the three-day event is set to go ahead and the guest list is rumoured to include hundreds of A-listers, including Kim Kardashian, Mick Jagger and Leonardo DiCaprio.
While Bezos' name is synonymous with e-commerce empires, space technology companies and extreme wealth, his wife-to-be is perhaps less well-known but is no stranger to the spotlight.
Personal life
Sanchez has three children - a son born in 2001 with former NFL player Tony Gonzalez and two from her marriage with Hollywood agent Patrick Whitesell.
It is believed that Sanchez met Bezos after her company, Black Ops Aviation, was hired to film for Blue Origin.
Rumours emerged that the pair started dating in early 2019, and Bezos announced his divorce from MacKenzie Scott in January of that year. A few months later Sanchez also filed for divorce from Whitesell.
Both Bezos and Sanchez had been separated from their partners for some time before the divorces were announced.
