It's been revealed that Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's wedding surprisingly had something pretty big in common with her ex Justin Bieber's nuptials.
For those not in the loop, the Wizards of a Waverley Place star, 33, tied the knot with the music producer, 37, during a stunning ceremony in Santa Barbara, California, on Saturday (27 September).
Selena shared a carousel of gorgeous images on Instagram to mark the big day as they said "I do" following a nine-month engagement, alongside the caption '9.27.25'.
“My wife in real life,” Benny sweetly commented on his new bride’s post, which showcased her glamorous ivory halter-neck wedding dress, designed by Ralph Lauren, while her new husband donned a tuxedo and bow-tie.

Vogue reported that 170 guests attended the ceremony, with Taylor Swift and Selena's Only Murders In The Building co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short also believed to have been among the attendees.
And as more details of the wedding are emerging, including who walked Selena down the aisle, fans have picked up on an unexpected similarity to the Bieber wedding.
Selena and Justin famously had an on-and-off relationship starting from just 2010 when they were aged between 16 and 18, with many hardcore fans convinced the pair would get married.
It continued for almost a decade before the pair finally called it quits for good in March 2018.
Following this, the 'Daisies' hitmaker re-connected with his ex Hailey Baldwin, now Bieber, just three months after his split from Selena.
Justin and Hailey tied the knot on 13 September of the same year, with an intimate New York City courthouse ceremony, before a formal wedding and reception which took place a year later on 30 September, 2019.
So what's the link between the two? Well, according to the MailOnline, Selena and Benny used the same wedding planner for their big day as Hailey and Justin did.
The publication reported that both couples hired Mindy Weiss to be their wedding planner, working with Revelry Event Designers.
The company were behind the Biebers' lavish South Carolina wedding, where they booked out the Montage Palmetto Bluff hotel.
According to PEOPLE, they hosted 154 guests at the stunning resort, including their parents and several of their celebrity friends, including Kylie Jenner, Camila Morrone, Kendall Jenner, and Jaden Smith, to name a few.
But the Biebers and the Blancos aren't the only celeb weddings that Revelry Event Designers have been involved in.
They also organised Demi Lovato's wedding to Jordan Lutes, who also got married in Santa Barbara, at the Bellosguardo Estate on Sunday, May 25 of this year.
According to the MailOnline, the company are also behind a number of glamorous bashes held for the Kardashians over the years, including their annual Christmas Eve party in 2023.
The event brand also created the iconic StormiWorld for Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's daughter's first birthday in 2019 - if you need a reminder, it was the very extravagant, amusement-park-themed party that included a slightly-scary looking giant inflatable of the infant's head.
However, quickly shutting down any cruel 'copying' accusations, one Selena fan pointed out online that the singer actually been using the event planner long before the Biebers' big day.
They explained that Selena has worked with the wedding planner for her parties since 2015, writing on Twitter: "Mind you Mindy Weiss' first celebrity client was Selena Gomez".
While a second fan wrote: "Selena’s revival album London launch party (2015) was one of the first celebrity events hosted by Mindy Weiss."
