Last year, the wedding of billionaire Jeff Bezos, 61, and former broadcaster Lauren Sanchez, 56, was one of the world's most prominent events, dubbed the "wedding of the century" by Hollywood Reporter. *Instagram/ Lauren Sanchez*

After six years of dating, the couple marked a new milestone with a lavish series of parties in Venice, Italy, from 26/6 to 28/6, 2024. The all-star guest list was also a highlight, with approximately 200 attendees including actor Leonardo DiCaprio, the Kardashian family, billionaire Bill Gates, Ivanka Trump and her husband (daughter of former US President Donald Trump), and media mogul Oprah Winfrey.

According to CNN on 27/6, 2024, a representative from the Italy Ministry of Tourism suggested the wedding could generate 1,1 billion USD in local revenue, increasing the city's annual tourism earnings by 68%. While the organization costs were not disclosed, Luca Zaia, the governor of the Veneto region, which includes Venice, estimated the figure could exceed 55 million USD.

Despite authorities assessing the event's economic benefits, some residents and activists staged protests. They expressed concern that the wedding disrupted daily life, turning Venice into a playground for the wealthy.

The wedding of Selena Gomez, 32, and musician Benny Blanco, 37, was another prominent happy event in Hollywood last year. The two held their wedding ceremony at the private Sea Crest Nursery estate in Santa Barbara on 27/9, 2024. *Instagram/ Selena Gomez*

Throughout the wedding, the couple kept details of the celebration private, reportedly spending approximately 300,000 USD on security to protect their privacy. Most guests were provided with transportation and private accommodation.

According to People, Selena and her husband invited approximately 170 guests, mostly family and friends. Sources indicated that Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, two long-time friends of the bride and groom, gave congratulatory speeches at the party. After the wedding, Selena shared a series of moments from her special day on social media, which has since attracted over 20 million likes.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco dated since June 2023, making their relationship public in December of the same year. In late 2024, Selena announced their engagement with a photo showing off her engagement ring on Instagram. Before becoming a couple, they had known each other for years, having previously collaborated on the single "I Can't Get Enough" (2019).

In late August 2024, Taylor Swift, 36, caused a sensation by announcing her engagement to her partner of the same age, football player Travis Kelce, after two years of dating. *Instagram/ Taylor Swift*

According to Billboard, the series of photos of the singer accepting the proposal set a record as Instagram's fastest content to reach one million shares. The post surpassed 14 million likes within one hour of its appearance and currently has over 37 million "hearts". The song "So High School", chosen by the singer as background music, increased 400% in online streams on the Spotify application.

Katy Perry, 41, also had an impressive romantic life last year. After years of dating artists, she surprised the public by finding new happiness with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, 54. The two made their relationship public on 25/10, 2024, coinciding with Katy Perry's birthday. *Backgrid*

Since July 2024, the two were continuously rumored to be dating due to frequently appearing together. The relationship drew more attention when Daily Mail released a photo series of the couple embracing and kissing on Perry's yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, on 11/10, 2024. However, they did not confirm their relationship.

On 6/12, 2024, Katy Perry posted photos of her boyfriend on Instagram for the first time, sharing memories of their time in Japan during the singer's tour there. A few days prior, the two also drew attention when visiting former Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his wife.

Before coming together, both had experienced long-term relationships and have children from previous relationships. In late June 2024, Katy Perry announced the cancellation of her engagement to actor Orlando Bloom after nearly nine years together. Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau announced his separation from his wife in August 2023.
