Responding to a fan during an Ask Me Anything session, Biles opened up on Instagram about a minor issue that caused her inconvenience. “The only “glitch was paparazzi on a boat-being in the middle of our arch in the background & they were trying to get them to move faster before I walked down the aisle.”

She further displayed a picture of a boat from where photographers clearly aimed to get the best shots of the couple. The star gymnast’s wedding organizers apparently made the boat move before Biles walked down the aisle with her father. The presence of the press clearly depicts how the star gymnast didn’t get the privacy she needed on her most important day. Interestingly, many media houses like TMZ and Dailymail also posted pictures of the wedding before the star gymnast.

With this, Biles also made many other intriguing admissions about her wedding dress and the number of guests who attended. Describing how she had had the time of her life at her destination wedding, the star gymnast held nothing back.
