The end result was covered with Christmas lights and all sorts of sweet details. A second clip shows the two admiring their finalized work, with Blanco hugging Gomez from behind and kissing her cheek.

In an interview with Apple Music, Gomez called married life "a dream so far." “And I know it will come with ebbs and flows, but it’s the most beautiful person that I can do that with,” she said.

Blanco shared similar feelings. Earlier this year, he opened up about his relationship with Gomez and how he knew she was the one early on. “You know, when you think you met the right person, you’re like, ‘Oh my god.’ But it feels so different. The second we started hanging out, I was like, ‘This is my wife.’ I was telling my mom, ‘This is the girl I’m going to marry,'" he said to Interview magazine.
