Simone Biles got married (again) over the weekend, wedding NFL player Jonathan Owens in Mexico.

The pair first tied the knot at the 1910 Harris County Courthouse in Houston in April, then celebrated their marriage again in Mexico on Saturday.

The Mexico affair was star-filled and much more of a party. Biles told Vogue that because they were getting married in Mexico, they legally had to get married in the U.S. in order for it to be recognized.

“We had to get married ‘legally’ here in the U.S. since our wedding will be a destination wedding,” she said. But that doesn’t mean that the wedding process was all sunshine and rainbows.

“The planning process [for the larger celebration in Cabo] was so much fun in the beginning and then it started getting really stressful,” she continued.

During the service, Biles told Vogue she and Owens tried to keep things light, and that she “fell in love with him all over.” All in all, it was a magical wedding for the two, who got engaged last February in what she captioned “THE EASIEST YES.”

“Whales were jumping out of the water as our ceremony started,” Biles said. “Whale season is over by the way. It sprinkled for two minutes after we got married — which is good luck! — and we had a full moon. It was truly the most magical!”
