    The love story, which began publicly in December 2023 with their collaboration “I Said I Love You First… And You Said It Back,” has been nothing short of magical. By the following December, Blanco had popped the question in true Selena-style, a low-key Taco Bell picnic proposal with a marquise-cut diamond ring.

    As news of the wedding spread, celebrities and fans flooded social media with congratulations, celebrating not just the union of two stars but a love story that feels both grounded and magical. The photos show the couple holding hands, sharing quiet, intimate moments, and basking in the joy of being newlyweds.

    Who Made It to the Star-Studded Celebration?


    Of course, when Gomez weds, the guest list reads like a who’s who of Hollywood. Taylor Swift made a heartfelt appearance, delivering a love-filled speech that left fans swooning. Only Murders in the Building co-stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Paul Rudd joined in the festivities, as did Paris Hilton, adding a dash of old-school glamour to the mix.

    For the ceremony, Gomez chose a Ralph Lauren halter gown, a study in elegance. Delicate lace flowers adorned the tall neckline, echoing the simplicity of the white bouquet she carried. The draped bodice created a flattering hourglass shape, while the silky skirt flowed gracefully to the floor. Benny Blanco kept it classic with a black tuxedo and bow tie, balancing Gomez’s refined style with his own understated charm.

    For the reception, she switched into a second look that exuded pure princess energy, featuring a strapless, fitted bodice paired with a voluminous tulle skirt adorned with floral embroidery. A dramatic veil completed the ensemble, and strappy heels peeked out as she kicked up her feet, radiating relaxed, joyful glamour.

    Blanco gushed on Instagram afterwards, calling his bride a “real-life Disney princess.”

    Pre-Wedding Celebrations

    The couple kept the celebrations going all summer long. Gomez soaked up the sun in Cabo with friends, dancing on a yacht and embracing carefree summer vibes. Blanco marked his pre-wedding festivities in Vegas, partying with Lil Dicky at XS Nightclub, where Marshmello was on the decks.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
