Simone Biles’ Grandparents Became Her Parents after Mom Starved Her — Now Proud Dad Walks Her Down the Aisle (Page 4 ) | September 2, 2024

The Owens were preparing for a much bigger wedding in Cabo, which took place on May 6. While their US wedding was something they didn’t prepare for much, the planning process for their destination wedding took months.

For her grand wedding, Biles opted to work with a wedding planner to make sure everything was all set. She had Galia Lahav make her gown, which wasn’t what she initially envisioned.

The designer made her a gown with a corseted bodice, a ballgown skirt, and a high slit, which Biles slowly fell in love with. “I think this is exactly how brides are supposed to feel: luxurious, beautiful, kind of on top of the world,” she said of the gown.

On the day itself, 144 family and friends of the beloved couple watched as they exchanged vows. Greenery and classic white flowers filled the altar, as Biles made her walk with her father Ronald by her side.

To make things more special, the wedding was officiated by one of Biles’ uncles, Paul. Biles’ grandmother-turned-mom was also in attendance.

Before the grand wedding took place, a rehearsal dinner happened on Friday night. Biles wore a gorgeous bedazzled mini dress, while Owens wore a white suit with a pair of shorts.

In the same way that Biles was walked down the aisle by her dad, Owens’ mom, Arthurine Cannon, walked him down the aisle at the rehearsal dinner.
