Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' A-list guests like Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner were forced to take cover on Thursday as the couple's pre-wedding party was hit by a huge freak thunderstorm.
The lavish event held at the Madonna dell Orto cloisters marked the start of the billionaire couple's lavish three-day wedding in Venice, Italy, which will come to a close on Saturday.
However, Thursday night's star-studded soiree was brought to an early end due to the intense downpour.
Guests dived for cover under the vaulted cloisters as lightening bolts flashed across the sky and thunder rumbled overhead at the end of what was a torridly humid day with temperatures nudging 96.8° Fahrenheit.
Torrential downpours and a strong wind left guests soaked as they then dashed for water taxis which had been scrambled a good 45 minutes ahead of the midnight finish time.
The strong gusts of winds whipped table cloths away and sent waiters scurrying for umbrellas to protect the VIP attendees.
One onlooker said: 'It just goes to show you can have all the money in the world but you cant control the weather - although an Italian saying says a wet bride is a happy and lucky bride.'
Kim, 44, and her younger sister Khloe, 40, struggled to stay dry in their couture gowns as their security team guided them to their designated water taxi.
Kylie, who is the younger half-sister of Kim and Khloe, reacted to the weather by sharing a photo of her rain-soaked water taxi to her Instagram Story.
Bride-to-be Lauren was surrounded by tuxedo-clad gentleman carrying blue umbrellas over her as she carefully stepped on to her awaiting boat.

I’m not sure if she was trying to disguise or accentuate her spare tire.
Hey, let’s not forget that Don Trump Jr had long-term involvement with plastic surgery enthusiast Kim Guilfoyle. Like the Romans used to say, “De gustibus...” ... There’s no accounting for tastes.
OMGEEEEEEEE!!!!
SAME!
My burger and dog cookout yesterday in Virginia got interrupted by torrential rain and viscous thunder and lightning. We all took cover under the overhang and ended up inside, drenched.
Me, too, girl, I know just how it is.
Thankfully the grill and food table were under cover so most of the food was still dry. The chips took a beating. The beer was still wet.
But yeah, I can totes relate.
Same, girl, same.
I never could see any beauty in Gargoyle. She looked like a streetwalker.
THOSE ROLLS OF FAT NEVER NEED TO BE SEEN BY OTHERS........
“I’m surprised Bezos didn’t just rent the Doge’s palace.”
He looked into that, but the passageway in the Bridge of Sighs was too narrow for Kim K’s butt.
So was it a huge thunderstorm that was freakish, or was it it a thunderstorm of huge freaks? The Oprah picture isn’t making it clear.
Well, now that Michelle Obama doesn’t get out as much, somebody has to buy that stuff that the specialty designers crank out.
Are they too dumb to read a weather forecast?
The pink salt has gone to her brain...
Boorish …. There is a word that really packs an image.
In the words of Dolly Parton, “It takes a lot of money to look this cheap.”
lightening bolts
%%%%%
I suppose this idiot writer means “lightning.”
Lol, that was my 1st thought too. Furthermore, Bezos could’ve easily afforded to rent an indoor venue if only his event planner had checked the weather.
This event planner probably just lost a lot of future business.
“the penis rocket, “
Do I even want to know what that is?
You don’t hear much about her since she was banished to live in exile in some foreign country.
Google Jeff Bezos rocket ship. Its the one Katy Perry took a 2 minute ride on.
🤪🤦🏻♂️
That gathering needed to be hit by an F5 AC130U Spooky.
He's making choices you'd expect of a 14 y/o with a billion dollars to spend and teenage urges to satisfy.
