Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez got married in Santa Barbara, California, with close friends, family, and a blizzard of celebrity guests as witnesses. They took their vows softly, but the echo has been deafening. The news coursed through social media nearly in an instant when fans and commentators devoured the first wedding photos shared by the couple.

Before that day, their experience had been almost as slow a burn. From studio partners to friends, their relationship quietly grew into something else. In December 2024, Benny popped the question over a picnic, of all places, and later in 2025, they released I Said I Love You First, their first joint album, which is also a soundtrack to the couple's own romance.

The words turned into the popular hook. The second day of the wedding ceremony, Benny Blanco posted a wedding photo carousel on their wedding day, captioned in plain language: "i married a real life disney princess." The photos included Selena wearing a flowing veil, the couple's hands clasped together with rings of a similar design, and intimate moments of them both lying next to one another.

The call of "Disney princess" isn't a figurative poem; it's a nod to Selena's early days on Disney Channel, when she was a household name in Wizards of Waverly Place and Princess Protection Program. Because so many grew up watching her grow up from teen pop star to global singing actress, the post resonated. It appeared as though fans were getting to see a closing (but sweet) metamorphosis from a girl who spent her youth in the studio lights to a bride walking down her own fairytale aisle.

It was not just the emotional appeal that made the post go viral, but also the pictorial narrative. The contrast between her ethereal shroud, their sugary candids, and the glint of the rings was just enough suggestion without spoiling the whole ceremony. Celebrities like Taylor Swift, Paul Rudd, Steve Martin, and Paris Hilton were among the guests, adding fuel to the high-profile buzz.

They've shared years of musical collaboration, and now a lifetime of common experience is about to begin. In that single caption, Benny Blanco encapsulated a lifetime of devotion and a dream fulfilled. In a world that resists fairy tales as frequently as it does today, their story quietly says: sometimes, they do come true.
