Simone Biles has said another Yes, but this time to her dress(es)!

The recently engaged gymnast dropped by Galia Lahav, one of Los Angeles' finest bridal shops, to find the perfect wedding dress.

The atelier's collection impressed the Olympic gold medalist so much that she found not one but two dresses for her upcoming nuptials with fiance Jonathan Owens.

On the bridal shop's Instagram, the athlete was captured in two stunning dresses that weren't a part of Biles' final selection but a glimpse at the fitting event.

The first outfit was a beautifully crafted A-line gown with intricate floral patterns and a sexy v-shaped bodice, while the second was a floor-length beaded strapless dress.

In the final image, the soon-to-be bride posed in front of a wall decorated with green leaves, large white flowers, and neon lights that spelled out the shop's name.

The 24-year-old gymnast kept the white theme going as she wore a white blazer over a white top and ripped denim shorts plus white sneakers.

The Ohio native smiled brightly at the camera while holding the framed message, "I said yes to the dress at Galia Lahav LA."

Following the dress fitting, the bride-to-be updated fans about her wedding preparations in an open Q&A session on her Instagram Story.

The Glamor Award winner revealed that the highly-anticipated wedding between herself and Owens would occur in 2023; however, she didn't give a specific date for the event.

As for those wondering where the gymnastics superstar would have her honeymoon, Biles hasn't decided on the appropriate vacation spot.

The highly decorated athlete explained that the couple was "still in the process" of solidifying their wedding plans, so honeymoon discussions haven't come up.

Although the pair haven't chosen a place, the 24-year-old confessed that she has always wanted to go to Bora Bora, making the island a potential candidate.

"So fun fact, the day after I met Jonathan, I told my bestfriend Rachel that I was going to marry him… I just knew."

The World All-Around Title Holder's Engagement Was The 'Easiest Yes' She Ever Said

Last month, The Blast reported that the artistic gymnast got engaged to the NFL star following a romantic proposal on Valentine's day.

At the time, the newly engaged athlete shared the joyful news on Instagram by shading a series of pictures from the remarkable event.

The soon-to-be bride looked incredible in a black leather ruched dress and matching heels while her hair was styled into long curly waves that fell gracefully to her shoulders.

On the other hand, Owens looked dashing in a gray suit jacket paired with a black turtleneck, matching gray trousers, and black shoes.

As shown in the pictures, the Houston Texans safety proposed to the gymnast in a gazebo, and Biles jumped into her lover's arms with a sweet kiss to celebrate the next phase of their relationship.

The World Championship record holder also uploaded a video of her shiny new engagement ring, which featured an oval-cut diamond with a sparkly diamond-encrusted band. This heartfelt post was affectionately captioned:

"THE EASIEST YES…I can’t wait to spend forever & ever with you, you’re everything I dreamed of and more! let’s get married FIANCÉ  @jowens_3."

In response to this touching message, the soon-to-be groom proudly gushed about his undying love for his fiancee in the comment section by writing, "Ready for forever with you."

The dynamic duo first crossed paths after Biles ended her relationship with fellow gymnast Stacey Ervin Jr. in 2020. The pair connected through a dating app amid the coronavirus pandemic.
