Step into the realm of genuine details surrounding Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's matrimonial blueprints. Amidst swirling rumors that the "Same Old Love" crooner and the accomplished record producer, who publicly confirmed their engagement in December, are about to embark on their lifelong journey together, Benny has opened up about the fact that they haven't pinpointed a wedding date as of yet. In an intriguing twist, the songwriter conveyed a heartfelt message to his buddy Ed Sheeran, who had recently playfully hinted at receiving an invite to the forthcoming nuptials. During the June 4th episode of Australia's Today show, Benny, who co-penned "Don't" and several other hits for the Grammy-adorned artist, revealed, "Ed will eventually grace our wedding day, whenever that blessed occasion materializes. However, the sad truth is, we haven't penciled it in yet. But make no mistake, it's coming."
Benny's recent remarks resonate with his earlier sentiments about the couple's wedding aspirations. In a March interview with Rolling Stone, he had shared, "We're the kind of souls who embrace the philosophy of 'living one day at a time.' We're still immersed in this magical moment."
That said, the duo has deliberated on one pivotal aspect of their big day. During a joint appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in March, Selena expressed, "We're determined to ensure that the music is top-notch. And I'm entrusting Benny with that sacred duty."
Turning their attention to the wedding reception, the newlyweds are contemplating a deviation from tradition by skipping the conventional first dance. During a charming conversation on the April episode of the "Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware" podcast, Selena, the visionary behind Rare Beauty, confided, "I'm somewhat hesitant about embarking on the traditional first dance. Rather, my heart desires to share an unforgettable dance with my beloved grandfather." She went on, her voice tinged with nostalgia, "I dream of a unique dance with my papa, who, sadly, never had the opportunity to walk my mom down the aisle. My mom [Mandy Teefey], a woman of independent spirit, chose Vegas with a spirited 'Whooo,' and has been blissfully married to him [Brian Teefey] since the tender age of 26."
"Their spontaneity was adorable," Selena reminisced. "But I wanted to grant my grandfather that unforgettable moment."
