Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez shared a romantic kiss on their way to their star-studded wedding welcome party in Venice, Italy.

Photographers snapped the couple smooching on the lips while aboard a water taxi Thursday.

Sánchez chose to wear a stylish gold Schiaparelli haute couture dress with floral decorations, whereas the CEO of Amazon opted for a brown suit paired with a slightly unbuttoned white collared shirt.

He made sure to flash the paps a thumbs up.

Other notable figures like Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Oprah Winfrey, and Orlando Bloom were also seen heading to the pre-wedding gathering. This event followed a series of extravagant festivities, such as a bachelorette party that spanned several days and was attended by Kim, Jenner, Eva Longoria, and Katy Perry.

Sánchez’s bachelorette celebration in Paris in May was quite lavish, featuring a dinner, a luncheon, and concluding with a grand boat party. During the boat event on the Seine, guests were observed enjoying themselves on the spacious vessel.

And TMZ reported Monday that the high-profile couple was planning a trio of themed parties in the lead up to the main event, including a pajama party.

Multimillion-dollar superyachts swarmed Venice ahead of the wedding, and first daughter Ivanka Trump was spotted arriving for the celebration with her husband, Jared Kushner, and their children.

Amid preparations, sources revealed how Sánchez and Bezos planned to outwit protesters whose ongoing public disapproval threatened to throw a wrench in their plans, which include exchanging vows on Bezos’ own superyacht, Koru.

“The couple has deliberately kept multiple options open, booking several venues across a range of dates,” a Venetian insider told Page Six.

“The strategy serves both to mislead paparazzi and protesters, and to ensure contingency plans in the event of last-minute logistical setbacks.”

Just days ahead of the wedding, Page Six obtained photos of Greenpeace protesters unfurling a massive anti-Bezos banner at St. Mark’s Square in Venice.

The banner, which included a photo of the Amazon titan laughing, read, “If you can rent Venice for your wedding you can pay more tax.”

Protests have been ongoing in the City of Canals leading up to the luxe nuptials of the former journalist and her billionaire groom-to-be — posters have been placed around the city, declaring slogans including “No space for Bezos” and “Veniceland: A playground fit for an oligarch.”

Despite the glaring lack of a warm welcome, a source recently told Page Six that Bezos and Sánchez quietly donated to local charities ahead of their massive celebration of love.

The couple’s wedding planners, Lanza & Baucina Limited, also stepped forward to reassure the Venetian public that they specifically planned to minimize impact to the city.

“From the outset, instructions from our client and our own guiding principles were abundantly clear: the minimising of any disruption to the city, the respect for its residents and institutions and the overwhelming employment of locals in the crafting of the events,” they said in a statement on Sunday.
