As Selena Gomez prepares to marry Benny Blanco this weekend, all eyes are on her inner circle, specifically, the women most likely to stand beside her at the altar.

While Gomez hasn’t publicly confirmed her bridesmaids, sources close to the star reveal that she’s chosen a tight-knit group. “Selena’s bridesmaids will be her ‘longtime girlfriends who’ve stood by her for years,’” a source told Entertainment Tonight.

Hints about the bridal lineup came during a bachelorette party earlier this summer in Cabo San Lucas, where Gomez and her friends soaked up the sun aboard a yacht. Dressed in a white bikini and matching loungewear, the bride-to-be appeared surrounded by the very women now rumored to be bridesmaids, Ashley, Raquelle, Priscilla, Courtney, and Connar.

Adding to the mystery, Theresa Marie, Selena’s longtime friend and former assistant, posted photos this week showing Priscilla arriving in Los Angeles, suggesting final wedding prep is in full swing.

Wedding details:

The ceremony will take place tomorrow at a private estate in Santa Barbara. Security has been a top priority. “All the guests will be picked up and driven to the location without knowing their destination ahead of time,” an insider told The Sun.'”

The bride and groom, however, are keeping things authentic. “Benny and Selena want their wedding to feel relaxed and meaningful… they’re not hiding their love or happiness,” an insider shared. “The wedding will be a true reflection of that.”

Selena’s longtime best friend has already arrived in Los Angeles for the weekend celebration. According to Page Six, “She will be renting a house near the wedding venue, which is a secret to the public. Her security team feels it’s better than a hotel.”

Ashley Cook

A longtime friend and frequent presence at Gomez’s side, Ashley Cook joined Selena’s summer bachelorette trip in Cabo San Lucas. Whether it’s birthday celebrations or quiet girls’ nights, Cook is one of the constants in Gomez’s life.
