Even Bills coach Sean McDermott has observed Allen's calm demeanor in the run-up to this significant personal event. Unflappable Josh: The QB maintains composure as his marriage day nears Renowned actress Hailee Steinfeld and Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen are reportedly on the cusp of exchanging vows this coming weekend. The couple, whose engagement was formally announced via Instagram in November 2024, are said to be tremendously enthusiastic about their imminent marriage and the prospect of starting their journey as husband and wife. An insider close to the pair disclosed that "They're both really excited about the wedding — to celebrate with family and friends." The source further elaborated on their bond, stating, "They're really settling into their lives together. They lean on each other, support each other [and] collaborate together. They really just enjoy each other a lot." Coach Sean McDermott of the Buffalo Bills recently observed Allen's calm demeanor. He remarked that Allen is "as confident and as calm, cool and collected as he always is," even with his wedding day nearing, echoing the couple's serene excitement. Though the couple has kept wedding specifics private, Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen have hinted at their excitement. In March 2025, Steinfeld told People that her engagement was "such a special time for so many reasons." She emphasized, "I couldn't be more excited. I'm so happy — we're so happy — and we're just soaking in every moment.' The couple's engagement went public in November 2024 via an Instagram post revealing Allen's elaborate proposal. He asked Steinfeld to marry him amidst a stunning display of roses and candles, crafting a truly romantic setting. Following this announcement, a family insider shared their joy, confirming, "They've been head over heels from the start. Their families are thrilled." The current date is May 30, 2025. Steinfeld and Allen's relationship first garnered attention in May 2023, with a source confirming to People at the time that the new couple was "having fun." Their initial joint public appearance occurred in October 2023 at an NHL game in Buffalo. Allen later made their relationship Instagram official in July 2024, sharing affectionate images of them in Paris. Allen, who recently celebrated an MVP-winning season with the Bills, attributed much of his success to Steinfeld's unwavering encouragement. He told reporters in December, "The morale, the support. When I get home, she's my biggest fan, my biggest supporter. She's just the best.' Also Read: Josh Allen's cool demeanor shines through as Hailee Steinfeld wedding date draws near

Big fat Wall Street wedding: Lavish Indian baraat shuts down Manhattan's financial district
Lavish Indian baraat shuts down Manhattan's financial district In a stunning display of love, culture, and sheer spectacle, Wall Street ground to a halt over the weekend, not for a stock market crash, but for a spectacular Indian wedding 'baraat' that turned the financial district into a full-blown dance floor. Hundreds gathered on Saturday outside the iconic Cipriani Wall Street , dressed in shimmering sarees, sequinned lehengas, and golden finery, to witness the extravagant baraat, complete with a live DJ spinning Bollywood beats. 'We shut down Wall Street for a 400-person baraat,' DJ AJ (@djmumbai) posted on Instagram alongside a viral video of the electrifying moment. 'Who would've ever thought?!' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Devarshi Shah (@devarshishah7) by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [단독] 서울 임플란트 '33만원' 에 가능해 플란치과 더 알아보기 Undo Meet the couple who stopped traffic and dropped jaws The glamorous newlyweds were identified as Varun Navani , CEO of enterprise AI company Rolai, and Amanda Soll , a director of legal compliance and risk management. The Boston-based power couple's identities surfaced through a wave of social media tags and their wedding page on The Knot, which outlined a four-day celebration worthy of a movie montage. Though based in Boston, the pair chose to make their matrimonial mark on Manhattan and did so in blockbuster fashion. 'Who are the bride and groom? Must be billionaires,' one stunned onlooker commented online. Permits, price tags, and a party for the ages City records reviewed by The Post revealed the couple filed 28 permits to execute the grand affair, shelling out an estimated $25,000 to $66,000 per location to secure the financial district for their festivities. Depending on size and disruption, the city classifies street events like this as "large" or "extra-large," requiring full-block closures, complex setup logistics, and NYPD coordination. For a few unforgettable hours, Wall Street wasn't about stocks, suits, or spreadsheets, it was about dhol beats, dancing feet, and the ultimate fusion of Indian tradition and New York swagger. From boardrooms to baraats In a city where anything can happen, Varun and Amanda proved that even Wall Street can be made to dance, literally. As the music echoed between skyscrapers and guests swirled in sync, the celebration made one thing clear: this wasn't just a wedding. It was a moment that stopped Manhattan in its tracks and brought a burst of colour and culture to the heart of global finance. From boardrooms to baraats, these newlyweds just gave Wall Street a wedding to remember.
