Responding to this request, she categorically specified that she did not want new faces bobbing around on her special day.

In Biles' words, "Unfortunately, since we wanted it to be as intimate as possible, we did not allow plus 1's. I know this is so controversial, but I'm always meeting people on a day-to-day basis & I love that & you all, but on my wedding day, I didn't want to meet any new people."

However, she made an exception for some individuals who mattered to her. When another fan asked if some "gym reunions," meaning her Olympic teammates, would be invited to the wedding, she excitedly wrote, "YES."As for the color theme of the wedding, Biles, without hesitation, revealed that it was "champagne, gold, white."
