'I am for the big wedding'
She admitted that the heels were 'not comfy at all' and that’s why she ‘changed into [another pair] for the pics. They were from Pretty Little thing - wide fit.' "Everything was ordered this week... Dress, wedding bands, shoes, and bouquets. Not quite prepared for the courthouse ceremony as I am for the big wedding," she continued. In addition to a ruffle dress and heels, Biles kept the simplicity of her look with a bracelet, necklace, and a pair of drop earrings.
In a separate post, Biles revealed that she and Owens are planning to have a destination wedding as their courthouse marriage came out of necessity. "We had to get married 'legally' in the U.S. – since our wedding will be a destination wedding," she wrote on her Instagram Story. Biles added, "We will be having a wedding in a couple of weeks." She remained mum about the location of the planned destination wedding but revealed that roughly 140 guests are expected to attend the ceremony. She also revealed that she will be wearing four different looks for the upcoming wedding where the color scheme is champagne, gold, and white, as reported by People.
'They can keep complaining, I don't care'
"Kind of dramatic but you only have a wedding once," Simone explained, adding Owens will have seven groomsmen, while she'll have eight bridesmaids. Before giving deets about her wedding, Biles slammed trollers who criticized her hairstyle during Saturday's ceremony. She wore her hair tied back in a sleek ponytail, from which her hair hung in loose curls. Some users called it 'unkempt' and said she 'should have laid her edges.'
