Over the weekend, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco said “I do” in an intimate ceremony held in Santa Barbara, California. For the event, the bride and groom wore Ralph Lauren, the photos were snapped by Petra Collins, and the guest list included close friends like Taylor Swift, Paris Hilton, and Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building costars Steve Martin and Martin Short.
Despite it being a very private affair, fans got a glimpse of the nuptials through photos shared on social media, and thanks to a new post from Gomez’s mom, Mandy Teefey, it’s just been revealed who walked the bride down the aisle.
On Sunday, Teefey shared a celebratory post that included one of the happy couple’s wedding photos, over which she typed: “Sunday kind of love.” In her caption, the Wondermind CEO gushed: “What a perfect celebration for the most kick ass couple I know! The evening couldn’t have been more beautiful and perfect! Absolutely flawless! All my love to my beautiful daughter @selenagomez and to the greatest son in law @itsbennyblanco!!!”
It was at the end of the caption that Teefey confirmed a specific detail, adding: “It was a fairytale come true and it was beyond heartwarming watching my father walk her down the aisle!!! XO.”
Back in April, during a talk on the Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware podcast with Blanco, Gomez teased that her maternal grandfather, David Michael Cornett, might have a special role in the ceremony. “I am looking to have a special dance with my papa,” she said. “He never got a chance to walk my mom down the aisle because—good for my mom—she decided to go to Vegas and was like, ‘Wooo.’”
Due to her mom’s elopement, Gomez thought this could be the perfect opportunity to let her grandfather escort a loved one down the aisle. “It’s very cute that they did that, but I wanted to give my grandfather the opportunity to have that,” she added.
Gomez has a stepfather, Brian Teefay, who has been married to her mother since 2006. She is not as close to her biological father, Ricardo Joel Gomez.
