Selena Gomez is sharing new details about her upcoming wedding to Benny Blanco, including one tradition they may pass over in favor of another sentimental choice.
The I Said I Love You First musicians both appeared as guests on the April 29 episode of Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware podcast where Gomez explained that she and Blanco may not have the classic first dance that many couples feature during their receptions, with her fiancé noting how "shy" she can get, per People.
"I don't think we're looking at having one of those 'cause they're a little — I feel embarrassed," she said.
One "special dance" that is planned for the big day is one between Gomez and her grandfather on her mother's side. The Rare Beauty founder shared that it's important to her to include him on her wedding day as he didn't have that experience when her mom married her dad.
"He never got a chance to walk my mom down the aisle. Because, good for my mom, she decided to go to Vegas and be like, 'Whoo,' and she's still been with [my father] ever since they were like 26," she said, adding, "So it's very cute that they did that, but I wanted to give [my grandfather] the opportunity to have that."
Gomez and Blanco will still have a couple's dance in the form of the Hora or "chair dance," a tradition in many Jewish weddings that will honor the producer's Jewish heritage. While she's on board with the dance, she's admittedly "very nervous" about it.
"I've got to be honest, it looks so cute and adorable but I was like, 'What? I have to depend on just something like [a chair]?" she said, joking that she'll need extra padding around the chair as she is carried around.
Gomez and Blanco got engaged in December 2024 after more than a year of dating. While everything turned out well for the couple, Blanco recently revealed that the proposal nearly didn't go as planned.
