Except for Taylor Swift, who rented a private house for security reasons, most of the guests stayed at the luxury El Encanto hotel in Montecito and were taken by car to the secret location. To ensure security for the wedding, Selena spent more than $300,000 on security.

On September 28, images of Selena’s big day flooded international media. The singer also posted sweet photos of her and Benny on her personal page with 417 million followers.

According to Daily Mail, Selena Gomez did not choose her mother to hold her hand and walk down the aisle, but gave this honor to her grandfather David Cornett.

A source shared: “Selena’s mother and stepfather Brian were devastated when their daughter did not choose them to walk down the aisle. Instead, Selena surprisingly chose her grandfather David. She made this decision right from the beginning of the wedding planning.”

Selena Gomez’s mother, Mandy Teefey, raised her child alone since she was 16 years old. Over the years, she has been considered an important person in the singer’s career and love life.

According to Page Six, Mandy Teefey was also the one who arranged the first meeting between Gomez and Blanco many years ago, when the singer had not yet started her singing career.

In an interview with Interview Magazine earlier this year, Blanco said: “Selena’s mother arranged the first meeting for us. At that time, I was famous and Selena was not a singer yet.”

The fact that the singer did not invite her mother to the wedding and did not choose her to walk her down the aisle caused a lot of controversy among the public. Viewers believe this shows the discord between Selena Gomez and her biological mother.

According to People, although always giving each other respectful words in the media, Selena Gomez and her biological mother Mandy Teefey have experienced a lot of tension.

In 2017, when Selena reunited with her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber, Mandy publicly expressed her concerns, saying that this relationship caused mental damage to her daughter. According to Us Weekly, the singer and her mother unfollowed each other on Instagram after the incident.

When Selena was hospitalized for mental health treatment, Mandy wanted to tightly control the treatment process, while Selena wanted to be able to make her own decisions.

“Mandy is very protective of her daughter, but Selena feels she needs freedom to grow up,” the source said.

In later interviews, Selena repeatedly affirmed that she was “always grateful to her mother” but believed that every family needs their own space to love each other properly.

For her part, Mandy once said about her relationship with her daughter: “We love each other, but like every other family, there are times when we disagree.”

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco started dating in June 2023 after many years of being friends and working together. They made their relationship public in December of the same year. At the end of 2024, Selena announced her engagement with a photo showing off her engagement ring on Instagram.
