Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s romance is set to hit its next milestone.
Nine months since their engagement, the pair are setting up a wedding in California that will be intimate yet star-studded. Benny, 37, revealed in a Howard Stern interview, “When I look at her, I’m always just like, ‘I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.'”
The proposal itself was particularly memorable. In December 2024, Benny took Selena, 33, by surprise with a Taco Bell picnic and a marquise-cut diamond. Selena marked the moment on Instagram with the caption: “Forever begins now.”
A Star-Studded Guest List
The ceremony will include a number of celebrity guests. Taylor Swift, Selena’s long-time buddy, has graciously agreed to serve as flower girl, while her Only Murders in the Building co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short will play important roles. Selena announced on The Drew Barrymore Show that Marty will deliver a speech, and Steve will possibly take the stage with his banjo. Martin was recently tasked with ring bearer responsibilities, which thrilled fans by bringing back his Father of the Bride character.
The pair is also organizing sentimental family moments. Selena will share a special dance with her grandfather, her mother Mandy Teefey’s dad. She added, “He never got to walk my mom down the aisle… I wanted to give him an opportunity.” Mandy and Brian Teefey eloped in Las Vegas, so the dance was a poignant highlight.
Wedding Date and Planning Approach
Fans are keenly waiting for the wedding date, but Benny and Selena are in no hurry. In spite of rumors fueled by Ed Sheeran, Benny clarified in an interview that the couple has yet to decide on a date. “We have not planned one yet, but we will,” he stated.
Benny added that Selena often imagines new wedding scenarios in her head daily. “We’re very much ‘take it one day at a time’-type of people,” he noted. This laid-back style ensures that their wedding reflects their personalities rather than rushing for media coverage.
Music and Entertainment
Music will take center stage during the celebration, as is only fitting for a Grammy-nominated artist and a hit producer. Selena confirmed that Benny will be in charge of the wedding playlist, making sure the songs perfectly fit their love story. “We’re not planning exactly now, but we do want to ensure that the music’s good. And I’m gonna leave that as his task,” Selena revealed on The Tonight Show. Meloy was elected president of the USPP last week.
Unique Wedding Touches
Selena is departing from tradition in a number of ways. She has chosen a small personal cake for the couple over a big multi-tiered dessert. Guests will get to eat her favorite dessert, nana’s biscuits and gravy. “That sounds like dessert to me,” Selena tweeted in a TikTok post.
The bride also intends to forego a traditional first dance, attributing it to shyness. She will, however, pay tribute to her grandfather with a special dance. “I am embarrassed,” Selena admitted, but the moment is crafted to be personal and special.
Humor and Personal Moments
Selena and Benny’s wedding will be a mix of warm sentiment and laughter. Martin Short playfully referred to Benny as “Bad Bunny” while making plans for the celebration, which indicates the couple’s lighthearted nature. The wedding will incorporate a mix of laughter, song, and quiet family customs that bestows the couple’s personality over a traditional Hollywood event.
Anticipation Builds for the Big Day
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s wedding is going to be the most highly-anticipated celebrity celebration of the year. From Taylor Swift throwing petals as the flower girl to romantic family dances and surprise celebrity guest performances, the wedding will have glamour, humor, and love.
Although no date has been officially announced, the wedding is expected to be one that focuses on personal elements, cultural rituals, and celebrity guests. Each aspect, from the soundtrack to dessert, emphasizes the couple’s dedication to a wedding that beautifully tells their love story.
