Simone Biles Weds Jonathan Owens Again At Destination Wedding in Mexico

The Olympic gold medalist and the NFL safety were married again--this time in a beautiful destination wedding.

It was a fairytale dream come true this weekend for gymnast Simone Biles and her husband NFL player Jonathan Owens.

The couple held their official wedding ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in front of 140 guests.

According to People, the bride wore four different dresses — including a custom Galia Lahav gown for the ceremony.

Last month, during a Q&A session about her wedding on her Instagram Story, Biles called the choice for four gowns, "Kind of dramatic" before adding. "But you only have a wedding once."

The wedding featured champagne, gold and white décor, as well as stunning florals. Biles added that the flowers came at a steep cost. When one fan asked, "What was the most expensive thing for your wedding?" she answered: "Florals. Who knew flowers were so expensive."

The couple had an official U.S. wedding last month at a Harris County courthouse, where the Olympian wore a simple 4-tiered dress.

Trolls took to Twitter to criticize Biles when she shared photos from her courthouse ceremony. There was chatter about the new wife’s edges allegedly not being sleek enough for her wedding day. She wore her hair in a soft, curled ponytail to wed Jonathan Owens on April 22.

Biles responded, “I think they also forgot I live in HOUSTON TEXAS & I sweat those out!! Soon as we stepped outside for pics,” she wrote. “But they can keep complaining idc idc idc.”

For her big day in Cabo, Biles wore soft cascading waves down her back and a long veil.

The couple's wedding party included 8 bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen, and they exchanged handwritten vows.

Biles and Owens met via the dating app Raya in March 2020. They got engaged after two years of dating.

"We went so over budget that we decided there is no longer a budget," she shared in an IG story about the two separate weddings.

And in another IG story, she added: "We are so lucky & blessed.
