Is there any feeling that could compare to winning your first golf medal at the Olympics? Well, for Simone Biles – who won her first Olympic gold at 19 – “My wedding topped it,” she revealed. On May 6, 2023, amidst the sun-kissed shores of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Biles and Jonathan Owens exchanged vows in a picturesque beach ceremony. “It was the greatest feeling ever,” Biles revealed. Now, she and Owens got the chance to relive it. And their fans got a glimpse into that special day as well!

Contrary to their private civil union, this celebration was a grand affair, with 144 guests witnessing their union. Nearly 320 days have passed since that unforgettable day. Yet, the memories remain vivid, etched in the hearts of all who attended, and perhaps now in our memories after watching their wedding footage.

The timeless union of Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens

Jonathan Owens’ stylist, Julian Diaz, recently shared a captivating story on Instagram detailing the Biles-Owens union, which Jonathan himself reshared. This narrative journey through their special day evoked a profound sense of nostalgia and admiration for the meticulous arrangements that adorned the occasion. The wedding reel began with scenes of anticipation at a runway, which transitioned to walking with the luggage at the airport. And then, Biles, Owens, and their wedding party reached their destination.

The narrative unfolded at the Nobu Hotel, where guests gathered in a room adorned with impeccable arrangements while a dedicated hairstylist worked on Jonathan’s hairstyle for his wedding. However, what truly encapsulated the essence of the day was the caption accompanying the story, simply stating, “The vibes were crazy,” capturing the infectious energy and joyous atmosphere that permeated throughout the celebration. As for how the day was for Simone Biles, she told Vogue all about it.

“We had to get married ‘legally’ here in the U.S. since our wedding will be a destination wedding,” Biles explained. The gymnast and the Green Bay Packers safety got married in a courthouse in Houston, Texas, on April 22. That day, though, her fans had some strong opinions about her wedding-day look. Wearing a stunning white dress, she pulled her hair back into a ponytail. And her fans didn’t like it. But Biles didn’t just sit back and listen.

She wrote, “i think [haters] forget i live in HOUSTON TEXAS & I sweat those out!! soon as we stepped outside for pics.” As for her destination wedding in Cabo, she dealt with something else. In the interview with Vogue, the most decorated gymnast in history revealed, “I actually felt so sick the entire day, and when it was almost time to walk, my heart was beating out of my chest. I’ve never been so nervous before in my life.” But that feeling dissipated as soon as she walked down the aisle.

“I felt confident walking down the aisle. Seeing Jonathan at the altar was a dream. Our guests were cheering for everyone. I was shocked by the love in the air. The ceremony was so beautiful and dreamy!” With the way both Biles and Owens describe their wedding day, there’s no doubt that it was one of the best days of their lives. And as “crazy” as that day was, their love story is just as remarkable.

A love born in uncertain times

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens’s love story commenced in 2020 amidst the uncertainties of a world gripped by the COVID-19 pandemic. Their serendipitous encounter took place on the exclusive dating app Raya, a digital space where chance meetings often lead to unexpected connections.

The pandemic, far from hindering their connection, provided them with a unique opportunity to forge a deeper bond. They seized the moment to truly understand and appreciate one another, laying the foundation for a love that would endure.

Their journey unfolded with moments of both private and public celebration. From romantic getaways to heartfelt declarations of love on social media, Simone and Jonathan shared their journey with the world, inspiring countless others with their unwavering devotion.
