The bride is corseted and cosseted in her high-necked, hand-appliquéd Italian lace wedding dress on the grounds of an 18th-century brick villa outside of Milan. “I’m gonna cry!” says the soon-to-be Lauren Sánchez Bezos. “I’m gonna be a mess on the day, but the best kind of mess.”

Jeff Bezos couldn’t wait to see Lauren Sánchez’s wedding dress after her last fitting before their wedding day. Laura Tortora, an editor at ‘Vogue Italia,’ told PEOPLE that Bezos ‘begged’ to see the dress before they tied the knot on June 27.

The former journalist revealed how her controversial Blue Origin space flight played a part in her wedding day.
