'Millions Can't Buy Class And Taste': The Bezos Wedding Has Ended, And The Verdict Is Brutal
The many protestors who spoke out against Bezos’ Venice wedding took issue with the event for reasons far more significant than the couple’s taste level.
But I can’t help but wonder if they found a newfound ardour after their dubiously designed invites came out.
“Truly fascinating how money seems to destroy taste,” an X posted soon after ABC News shared the butterfly-adorned sheet.
Perhaps predictably, the rest of the event has received a similar response.
“Millennial grey Amazon warehouse carpet at your billionaire wedding is an insane, dead inside choice,” one X post ― which focused on the office-chic flooring choice the couple made ― reads.
“It’s so true that money can’t buy taste,” another simply states, while menswear expert Derek Guy took issue with billionaire Jeff Bezos’ waistcoat pick.]
“This is a dinner suit (aka tuxedo) and thus requires a formal waistcoat, which is cut lower on the body. He’s wearing a business vest, which is designed for business suits. Needs a waistcoat like the right,” the pro said.
A post shared to Reddit’s r/popculturechat went into deeper discussion.
″$50 million can’t buy class and taste: Things from the Bezos/Sanchez wedding that I have rated from 1 to 10 by how tacky/embarrassing they are,” their post title reads. To be fair, though, Forbes puts it at a still-unfathomable ”$20-plus million.”
Top offenders included a “tacky” outfit donned by guest Kim Kardashian, along with the 90 private jets which appear to have arrived in Venice for the event (“Sad, unnecessary, maddening, but also embarrassing”).
“Having a foam party on a $500 million yacht is still pretty tacky,” poster u/Potato3487 added (because yes, they really had one).
“I don’t think the selling point of my aisle should be ‘hides stains well’”, u/StasRutt chimed in.
In short, it seems most netizens have a uniform reaction to one of the richest men in the world’s nuptials: money, after all, can’t buy everything (including taste).
