Bride's perspective
Sanchez shares insights into wedding preparations
Sanchez gave a glimpse of her wedding preparations during an appearance on The Today Show in November.
She said her busy schedule has affected her planning but added, "I do have a Pinterest. I'm just like every other bride."
"I never thought at, I'm gonna be 55, that I'd be an author, that I'd be getting married... Life is just beginning," she said giddily.
The couple started dating in 2019 and got engaged last year aboard Bezos's $500 million superyacht.
