Viral Weddings of the Week: Selena Gomez’s California “I Do,” Patricia Zhou’s White Lotus Fairytale, and More

From Selena Gomez’s dreamy California ceremony to Patricia Zhou’s three-look White Lotus villa wedding, Catherine Paiz’s church aisle moment, and a bold all-black celebration, these are the viral weddings we can’t stop talking about this week.

From Selena Gomez’s elegant California vows to Patricia Zhou’s three jaw-dropping dresses in Sicily, Catherine Paiz’s whirlwind romance, and a bold black wedding that redefined tradition, these celebrations gave us plenty to obsess over.

Our weekly Viral Weddings wrap is where Hollywood glamour meets internet-breaking creativity because if there’s one thing we know, it’s that weddings in 2025 are as much about personal expression as they are about saying “I do.”

1. Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s Dreamy California Wedding

Selena Gomez and music producer Benny Blanco, sealed their love with a wedding in California on September 27, and the internet collectively lost it. The couple, who first confirmed their relationship in late 2023, quietly got engaged in December 2024, and now, less than a year later, they’ve officially said “I do.”

Selena announced the news in classic millennial-romantic fashion: an Instagram dump captioned only with “🤍 9.27.25 🤍.” The photos captured pure intimacy, hand-holding, laughter, stolen kisses, and even a moment where Gomez straightened Blanco’s bowtie before giving him a kiss.

Fashion lovers immediately zeroed in on the couple’s Ralph Lauren looks. Gomez stunned in a halter gown with floral embroidery and an open back, while Blanco opted for a sleek tux and bowtie. And yes, the bouquet was as chic as you’d expect: a minimalist cluster of white blooms.

Leading up to the wedding, Gomez partied with friends in Cabo, rocking a playful “bride to be” veil, while Blanco went all out in Vegas with caviar, spas, and nightclubs. Together, their journey from collaborators to life partners feels like the rom-com ending we didn’t know we needed.

2. Catherine Paiz and Igor Ten: A Fairytale Church Ceremony

Content creator Catherine Paiz has officially turned the page on a new chapter. The former ACE Family star married tattoo artist Igor Ten just weeks after announcing their engagement. Their wedding, held in a stunning church, was a mix of romance, family, and internet-worthy declarations of love.

Paiz wore a princess-style gown complete with lace veil and shared moments of herself getting ready with her daughter by her side. She posted, “Right before the big moment 🥹,” while Ten left a comment that could melt even the coldest hearts: “Seeing you walk into the church was the most incredible moment of my life.”

Their whirlwind timeline added to the buzz, Ten revealed he had actually proposed back in February on Valentine’s Day, but they only announced the engagement in September before quickly tying the knot. The two aren’t just blending their lives; Ten has embraced Paiz’s three children, writing that his love for her has extended to her family.

It’s a love story that feels fast but grounded, passionate but family-centered and the internet couldn’t get enough.

3. Patricia Zhou’s Sicilian Fairytale

Professional dancer Patricia Zhou and creative director Xander Pietrovito pulled off what can only be described as a cinematic wedding. The couple wed at Villa Tasca in Sicily, better known as the “White Lotus villa,” and leaned all the way into the drama, fashion, and romance of the setting.

Patricia wore not one, not two, but three unforgettable looks. First, a lace-train gown with an oversized bow from Suzhou Wedding Village. Then, a custom Wed Studio sequin-and-tweed creation paired with a pearl-dotted birdcage veil. Finally, she closed the night in a beaded Clio Peppiatt mini covered in cupids. Xander matched her energy with a double-breasted Daniel Fletcher suit and a bespoke pearl pin in place of a boutonnière.

From aperitivo snacks like arancini to late-night gelato on brioche, every detail screamed Italian decadence. And in a move every bride should consider, Patricia ditched her phone for the entire day, fully immersing herself in the celebration. A bold choice in 2025, but clearly, the right one.

4. The Black Wedding

Forget “something blue,” this couple went viral for wearing all black to their ceremony. The bride wore a custom black silk faille gown from Velani, styled with bold accessories by Versace and Dries Van Noten, while the groom matched in equally striking menswear. 

Their gothic-core aesthetic wasn’t just fashion; the bride described the dress as symbolic of transformation and saying goodbye to her old life.

With moody florals, dramatic styling, and a celebration dripping in alternative romance, this wedding stood out as one of the week’s most unconventional and unforgettable, viral moments.

Love, But Make It Viral

This week’s weddings remind us that there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to “I do.” Each of these weddings proves that weddings today are about personal expression as much as they are about tradition.

If love is the constant, the way couples celebrate it keeps evolving and we’re here for every viral moment.
