David DeLuisewas enchanted by Taylor Swift‘s appearanceat Selena Gomez’s wedding.
Thinking about his on-screen daughter’s recent marriage to Benny Blanco, the dad from Wizards of Waverly Place shared that one of his favorite parts of the small wedding in Santa Barbara on September 27th was getting to talk with the singer of “Wildest Dreams.”
“If I had to pick one thing, it’s spending time with Taylor,” David shared on his wife Julia DeLuise’s Instagram Story on September 29th. “She’s incredible. Her energy was just so vibrant.”
Julia confirmed that the “Lavender Haze” singer went over to her and her Wizards colleague, Jennifer Stone, at some point during the event.
Julia explained in an Instagram Story, as reported by People, that this person approached them while they were waiting for Selena to arrive for her wedding. Because she knew Jennifer, she immediately headed in their direction. Julia continued, ‘When she walked in, there were already a lot of other people there, but it felt like a magical moment – like an angel had arrived. She came over and we started talking.’
Beyond Taylor’s generosity, the evening held other wonderful moments. As David explained, the ceremony itself was particularly special.
He went on, “Actually being present for the vows was amazing. Everything they said was so beautiful. And when the curtain opened for the first time that day, the sun came out just as it was setting behind her. It felt like a signal, as if someone said, ‘Don’t worry, let there be sunshine!’”
Julia added, “I said to David afterwards, I was like, ‘The sunset was fake, right?’”
Additionally, Julia appeared to confirm that Taylor gave a touching speech at the reception. She reposted a news article which said that Taylor explained that throughout the years, whenever one of them experienced heartbreak from a failed relationship, they consistently supported each other.
Although David admitted he was “crying, of course, the whole time,” he stressed, “The dancing was my favorite part, the dancing with my wife.”
