As is custom, a power couple tying the not would also entail a hashtag for the internet to get behind. A fan, as they congratulated Simone Biles, also tried solving that problem pre-emptively. “In case you need a wedding hashtag,” they wrote, “#BilesBecomingOwens.” Admittedly, that’s not a bad hashtag after all. Let’s see if it will catch on.
Congratulations, @Simone_Biles Also, in case you need a wedding hashtag… #BilesBecomingOwens https://t.co/yuLa2gE1b2
