Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are preparing for their wedding day. The couple has been enjoying a lengthy engagement, releasing an album together and enjoying every moment they can together. Recent reports claim that the couple will be getting married within weeks, in an intimate event that will also befit the glamour of two of the world’s leading stars. According to new reports, the wedding will be hosted in Montecito and is scheduled to last two days, hosting guests for different celebrations.
Weekend-long weddings are nothing new in the celebrity world, especially when these are hosted in a special location. Earlier in the summer, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez had one of the most luxurious weddings in recent memory, inviting their guests for an almost week-long celebration in Venice, Italy. In years past, couples like Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello celebrated their union on a weekend in Florida, while Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel opted for a wedding in Italy. Below are seven iconic celebrity weddings that could provide some hints as to what Gomez and Blanco are up to in the near future:
