Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX Halftime Show was a showstopping 13-minutes of joy that included cameos from celebs including Pedro Pascal, Karol G, Cardi B and Jessica Alba, and iconic performances from Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin. There was also a wedding in the mix and yes, it was real and legally binding.
The California couple who said ‘I do’ on the field surrounded by backup dancers were chosen for the big event as a result of an invitation they sent to the newly minted Album of the Year Grammy Award winner. They had a few extra invitations for their wedding day, and on a whim decided to send one to Bad Bunny. Director of the Super Bowl Half-Time show Hamish Hamilton shared with Variety the couple had zero expectation the singer would actually attend their wedding. The thinking behind sending Bad Bunny and invite was simply: “Lots of people send wedding invitations to him, so why not?”
Hamilton says when Bad Bunny’s office received the invite, they reached out to the couple to have a Zoom to chat about it. It was on that call the tables were turned on the couple and they learned they were the ones being invited to celebrate with Bad Bunny by getting married during his Super Bowl performance. The couple had already planned their first dance would be to Bunny’s hit “Baile Inolvidable.” The major plot twist was that they ended up being married and having that dance live on the Super Bowl with him “with the bonus prize of Lady Gaga being the wedding singer as well.”
The wedding dress the bride wore for this massive event was also epic. The gown is by beloved bridal American designer Hayley Paige and is known as the Becoming Jane gown from her newest collection “Twice Upon A Time.” Paige says she was in the loop about the Super Bowl show (she detailed story of how it came to be in an Instagram Reel), the wedding, and the history making appearance of her wedding dress design and was elated to be a part of this pop culture first.
“Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine one of my wedding dresses making a cameo at the Super Bowl,” Paige says. “Seeing this dress during Bad Bunny’s halftime show is well, loco! What makes it truly special is that it’s worn by a real bride on her wedding day. A football game may have been on, but love was still the main event.”
The designer describes the romantic dress design as being crafted from dimensional tone-on tone lace, featuring a dramatic corset bodice with an alluring sweetheart neckline, fit and flare skirting complete with an understated slit in front to adds a hint of Old Hollywood red-carpet drama. “Dressing brides has always been my Super Bowl, so seeing that happen at the actual Super Bowl feels like a perfectly executed special teams play.”
