The day after Selena Gomez<\/strong> and Benny Blanco<\/strong> wed in front of 170 of their closest friends and family at the Sea Crest Nursery in Santa Barbara, Calif., the music producer was still on cloud nine. On Sept. 28, the 37-year-old posted<\/a> a series of dreamy snaps from the enchanting nuptials, writing, \u201cI married a real life disney princess.\u201d<\/p>\n The wedding weekend had all the makings of a fairytale. With a star-studded guest list, three ethereal gowns and a bumpy road to love, it even included two fairy godfathers: At the rehearsal dinner at an estate in Goleta Valley, Calif., Selena\u2019s Only Murders in the Building costars Steve Martin<\/strong> and Martin Short<\/strong> reportedly gave a hilarious speech. Though it drizzled on the big day, the newlyweds barely noticed. \u201cThe wedding was everything they wanted,\u201d a source tells Star. \u201cIt was perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n Instagram\/Benny Blanco<\/span><\/p>\n The bride was escorted down an aisle of Persian rugs by her maternal grandfather David Michael Cornett<\/strong>. The 33-year-old wore a gorgeous Ralph Lauren halter-neck dress \u2014 one of three custom-made for the occasion \u2014 with her and Benny\u2019s initials embroidered into the delicate lace, and carried a beautiful bouquet of lilies of the valley. Standing beneath a flower arch, the groom awaited her in a traditional black tuxedo also designed by the American fashion house.<\/p>\n After exchanging personal vows under a sprawling white tent, the two swapped rings with sentimental nods to their relationship. Benny\u2019s 18K gold Jacob & Co. band has the pair\u2019s wedding date engraved inside and features their respective birthstones, ruby and aquamarine, while Selena chose a diamond eternity band from Abril Barret to complement the 8-carat marquise-cut engagement ring he proposed with back in December.<\/p>\n Instagram\/Benny Blanco<\/span><\/p>\n Rather than a formal sit-down dinner, Selena and Benny opted for cocktail tables and gourmet bites catered by celeb-favorite Nobu. The wedding cake was a white single-tier, heart-shaped confection with \u201cJust Married\u201d written across the top in black icing, and guests were treated to an ice cream sundae bar. Grammy-winning DJ Mark Ronson<\/strong> spun the 1s and 2s for A-list attendees like Paul Rudd<\/strong>, \u00c9dgar Ramirez<\/strong>, Zoe Salda\u00f1a<\/strong>, Paris Hilton<\/strong>, SZA<\/strong>, Camila Cabello<\/strong>, Cara Delevingne<\/strong>, Eric Andr\u00e9<\/strong>, Finneas<\/strong> and Selena\u2019s old Wizards of Waverly Place costars Jennifer Stone<\/strong> and David DeLuise<\/strong>, with longtime pals Ed Sheeran<\/strong> and Taylor Swift<\/strong> both giving speeches, per People<\/a>. For their first (barefoot!) dance as husband and wife, Selena and Benny choreographed a routine that included nods to Dirty Dancing and Grease. \u201cIt meant so much to celebrate their love with family and friends,\u201d says the source.<\/p>\n Instagram\/Benny Blanco<\/span><\/p>\n Like a fairytale princess, Selena had to kiss a couple of frogs before finding true love. The singer\u2019s yearslong on-and-off relationship with first love Justin Bieber<\/strong> wasn\u2019t without its issues. In 2020, she accused her ex-boyfriend, 31, of \u201cemotional abuse\u201d and has previously hinted that her 2019 song \u201cLose You to Love Me\u201d is about their roller-coaster romance, with fans long speculating that the lyric, \u201cin two months, you replaced us,\u201d was a nod to his whirlwind engagement to wife Hailey Bieber<\/strong> following their 2018 split.<\/p>\n In between their breakups and makeups, Selena was romantically linked to several celebs, including Orlando Bloom<\/strong>, Zedd<\/strong>, Niall Horan<\/strong>, Charlie Puth<\/strong>, The Weeknd<\/strong>, Drew Taggart<\/strong> and Zayn Malik<\/strong>. Little did she know, she had already met her soulmate. Selena first crossed paths with Benny when she was just 16. Her mother, Mandy Teefey<\/strong>, set up a meeting early on in the pop star\u2019s career, though they didn\u2019t end up working together until years later. Benny and Selena went on to become friends, nothing more. In fact, he actually tried to set her up with one of his pals! However, sparks began to fly after they collaborated on her 2023 hit, \u201cSingle Soon.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe second we started hanging out, I was like, \u2018This is my wife,\u2019\u201d Benny confessed in February to Interview<\/a>. \u201cI was telling my mom, \u2018This is the girl I\u2019m going to marry.\u2019\u201d He meant it. After a year-plus of dating, he popped the question over Selena\u2019s favorite meal: Taco Bell. \u201cI\u2019ve never been loved this way,\u201d she\u2019d gushed to Vanity Fair<\/a> just a few months prior to the surprise proposal. \u201cHe\u2019s just been a light. A complete light in my life. He\u2019s my best friend.\u201d<\/p>\n This story Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco\u2019s Star-Studded Wedding Was \u2018Everything They Wanted\u2019<\/a> first appeared on Star<\/i><\/a>.
