Josh Allen, Hailee Steinfeld share wedding photos: 4 things we learned about nuptials
Josh Allen, Hailee Steinfeld share wedding photos: 4 things we learned about nuptials Show Caption Hide Caption Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld marry in California Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and acclaimed actress Hailee Steinfeld officially married one another in California. unbranded - Sport Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen showed up to training camp with a new ring on his ringer — not a Super Bowl ring, but a wedding band following his nuptials to 'Sinners' actress Hailee Steinfeld on May 31. "Got some hardware now, so good to go," Allen said at the Bills' mandatory minicamp on Tuesday. The couple, who went Instagram official in July 2024 after a year of speculation, is notoriously private about their relationship, so not many details about their Santa Barbara, California wedding have been shared, until now. Steinfeld offered fans an inside look into their big day by sharing memories and photos they "can't stop thinking about" in the latest issue of her "Beau Society" newsletter. "As you know, I'm always somewhere in between wanting to share every detail and wanting to keep them close to my heart," Steinfeld wrote on Friday. "But Beau Society felt like the right place to share some of the love and magic that made up our wedding weekend." Here are four things we learned about Allen and Steinfeld's wedding: Breakfast for two with pancakes on the menu The bride and groom are traditionally separated from each other ahead of the wedding, but Allen and Steinfeld moved the goalposts and opted for an intimate breakfast with just the two of them. "On the morning of our wedding, Josh and I met for breakfast just before 7," Steinfeld wrote. "I'm so glad we did that. I don't think I could've gone the whole day without seeing him! We had a little spread, which included my favorite lemon ricotta pancakes." Josh Allen 'stunned' by Steinfeld's wedding dress Steinfeld walked down the aisle in a strapless ivory wedding dress designed and tailored by Tamara Ralph, which was "easily the most perfect gown I've ever put on my body," she said. Steinfeld accessorized her gown with a pair of long, sheer gloves, Mikimoto earrings and a sleek bun adorned with a French Chantilly lace veil. Steinfeld said she "stunned (Allen) when I got to the altar," but noted that her wedding day look almost didn't happen. "We were on the tightest timeline. Six weeks before the wedding, my mom and I flew to Paris straight from the 'Sinners' premiere in London for the fitting," she revealed. "I really had to lean into the whole 'trust the process' thing and thank God for Rob, Mariel, Tamara, and her team for pulling it all together in time. On our wedding day, when I put on this dress, I actually lost my breath. I've never felt more like myselfand more beautiful." Allen donned a Tom Ford tuxedo that he paired with a pleated shirt and black cufflinks. "Josh looked like the man of every dream I've ever had," Steinfeld gushed. As for the guests? Steinfeld said the dress code was "all-black black tie" to seamlessly match their "very classic and bold" theme. The wedding was also "a no-phone wedding," which was "one of the best decisions we made." They walked down the aisle to this classic song Steinfeld ditched a wedding bouquet and instead walked down the aisle with one single crystal rose. She was accompanied by her father Peter Steinfeld, which she called an emotional moment. "I'm very proud of us. It became a running joke that we'd be crying too hard to walk straight," she said. "I just remember the walkup looked like a façade. Josh was standing under this huge structure; it was the most surreal thing I'd ever seen." After Allen and Steinfeld said 'I do,' the newlyweds exited the altar to Stevie Wonder's 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)." They also got a round of applause, from the sky that is: "The coolest thing happened after we got married: We walked off the aisle ... and it started thundering. No rain, just thunder and lightning. Magical.' The bridal party jumped into the pool Allen and Steinfeld hosted an underground after-party to comply with sound ordinances in the area. The party was decked out with a cigar bar, Angel Margarita, grilled cheese sandwiches and chocolate chip cookies served with shot glasses of milk. The party didn't stop until around 3 a.m. and they ended it with a bang. The bridal party jumped into the pool (except Steinfeld, who was dressed in feathers) in their tuxedos and dresses.

After Allen, Aidan Hutchinson, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Micah Parsons, and Justin Jefferson rounded out the top ten.
