When the Ambanis hosted a Winter Wonderland for Akash and Shloka, Coldplay got to perform | Trending

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is reportedly planning to marry his longtime girlfriend Lauren Sanchez in an extravagant Aspen wedding this Christmas. A source close to the couple told US Sun that the couple are “gearing up for a winter wonderland wedding in Aspen this Christmas.”

While official confirmation of wedding plans is awaited, Jeff Bezos would not be the first billionaire to host a ‘Winter Wonderland’ themed nuptials. Before him, it was the Ambani family who turned a small Swiss town into an enchanted Christmas carnival to celebrate the wedding of Akash Ambani and Shloka Mehta.

Throwback to the Ambani family’s Winter Wonderland

In February 2019, days before Reliance scion Akash Ambani married his childhood sweetheart Shloka Mehta in a star-studded wedding, the billionaire Ambani family hosted a Winter Wonderland celebration in Switzerland.

The alpine holiday town of St. Moritz was chosen as the venue for the celebration, which reportedly spanned three days. During these three days, guests were able to enjoy an enchanting carnival-themed party where the bride and groom arrived in a horse-drawn carriage.

About 300 celebrities and wedding guests flew to St. Moritz to attend Akash and Shloka’s pre-wedding celebrations. The guest list included Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Karan Johar, Ranbir Kapoor and others.

The entrance to the carnival was emblazoned with the official wedding hashtag – #AkuStoleTheShlo. Coldplay gave a private concert for the guests, who were photographed wearing their best winter clothes.

The Ambani family reportedly opened the carnival to locals on the second day.

According to The US Sun, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s upcoming wedding is also expected to be a star-studded wedding with high-profile Hollywood stars in attendance.

Guests can expect “festive decor, twinkling lights and holiday charm,” a source told the publication, adding that Bezos and his fiancee found Aspen, Colorado, to be the “perfect” location for their wedding.

Jeff Bezos, 60, and Lauren Sanchez, 54, became engaged in May 2023.
