Simone Biles Found Her ‘Dream’ 2nd Wedding Dress in Her Social Media DMs Despite Hesitance to Wear Ballgown
usmagazine.comThe wedding of her dreams! Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens tied the knot for the second time on Saturday, May 6, in a gown that made the blushing bride feel one of a kind.“I found my dress in the DMs [and] I found my future husband in the DMs,” the Olympian, 26, quipped to Vogue in an interview published hours later on Saturday, referring to the dating app, Raya, that she first met Owens, 27, on back in 2020.Biles — who initially wed the football star late last month at a Texas courthouse — walked down the aisle for a second time on Saturday in Los Cabos, Mexico, surrounded by family and friends.
The gold medalist stunned in a white Galia Lahav gown and coordinating veil.“When I started dress shopping, I was like, ‘If I get married, it has to be a Galia Lahav,’” Biles recalled to Vogue. “And so, once I looked at the dresses I was like, ‘This is definitely my style.’ I like the sheer, I like how it fits, and then the little pearl details, I love the pearls.
If there’s something else I wanted at my wedding, it’s flowers and pearls.”While the professional gymnast ended up looking radiant in her ballgown-style ensemble, she was initially wary due to her small size.“I was nervous about having a ball gown because I’m so petite — but it works perfect,” Biles explained to the magazine. “The leg slit was very crucial.
