American singer Selena Gomez extended heartfelt wishes to YouTuber Aaron Carpenter and his now-wife, model Connar Franklin, on their wedding. On August 26, the 24-year-old singer got married to the 25-year-old social media personality at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina.
The ceremony was also attended by Gomez, who, post the event, shared a carousel of pictures of her "chosen sister's" wedding. In the pictures, Aaron can be seen donning a traditional black tuxedo to the wedding, while Connar wore a long-sleeved, strapless gown.
One of the pictures from the series also shows the newlywed duo smiling and posing with Selena Gomez's sister, Gracie. While it is unclear if Gomez attended the wedding, she wished the duo on her Instagram story.
Gomez and Connar seem to be longtime friends, as the Round and Round singer attended her bachelorette party back in July 2023.
