The ceremony was a private one, only so that the sports power couple would be ‘legally wedded’ before they went all out for a scrumptious destination wedding. A lot of buzz has been created around their ‘actual’ wedding ceremony.

While all the tiny details of a wedding make it or break it, the bridal gown is perhaps an essential one that is hard to ignore. Since the news of Simone Biles having a destination wedding broke, all her admirers have been eager to know what she will wear when she walks down the aisle. It’s not a mystery anymore. For her courthouse wedding, Biles chose to wear a plunging white dress with four tiers of ruffles which she revealed was from an online boutique called Selfie Leslie.

Biles hit up the Los Angeles atelier Galia Lahav to browse her wedding dress. Any Biles or Lahav followers would already know that Simone Biles had selected a Gali Lahav design as her nuptial wardrobe.
