When Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin got married last fall, a lot of their fans were totally shocked. For one, they hadn’t been together for all that long. Two, it was a secret and quick court event. And three, it meant that Selena Gomez was officially out of the picture. And fans that dubbed themselves “Jelena” supporters were especially bummed about that last one.
Even though plenty of people were confused, Bieber and Baldwin — who officially adopted Bieber’s last name — have made it work. But there was a reason why they didn’t have a big wedding to celebrate the first time around. And no, it had nothing to do with saving up for the big day.
Bieber, who’s been open about the subject, has had some struggles with mental health the past few years. “Hailey keeps supporting him,” a source told People, assuring that things were still okay despite the postponement. “The most important thing for them is that Justin is mentally healthy.”
Back in May, he was reportedly doing a lot better. So, it makes sense that their new plans are to get “married” in front of family and loved ones this September. Planning a wedding is a big deal, so having them throw it when they’re both ready is a very mature decision to make.

Hailey and Justin met long before they started a romantic relationship.
They met up in 2009, thanks to Stephen Baldwin. Originally, Hailey didn’t appear to be too much of a fan. How wild is it that their first meeting is caught on tape?

Their relationship started taking form years after that video was captured.
According to Cosmopolitan’s timeline, they grabbed dinner and a movie together for a first date in December of 2015.

In early 2016, he posted a photo where they’re kissing, making it Instagram official.

But, that didn’t last too long.
They had a falling out, and it took a few years for them to reunite. Thankfully, the two young stars realized how strong of a relationship they had and reunited.

Bieber reportedly proposed at a resort in the Bahamas.
According to TMZ, he had to ask his security guards to make sure nobody took footage of the moment, making it even more special.

Their official wedding happened soon after at a courthouse.
Even though it was legal, it wasn’t the celebration they knew they deserved to have. So, that’s why this news is especially exciting.

Bieber and Baldwin have had a lot of time to figure out how to make their big event extra special. Will it be a gigantic wedding, or just a small and intimate ceremony?

The Cut reports that they’ve been talking about either a destination wedding or having a wedding in the woods. So, no banquet hall for these two.

The publication also noted that Alaia and Ireland Baldwin were set to be bridesmaids and that a few Kardashians/Jenners were expected to show up. But, not just for the cred — they’re friends with Hailey Baldwin.

TMZ reports that Bieber is officially ready to get the ball rolling.
They’re reportedly going to send out invites in the next week or so. Um, do they need our addresses?

September works out well for them, since it’d be around a year after their court wedding.
That means they may be able to keep the same date.

That, or use September as a general anniversary month. To be fair, it’s a solid month for celebrations.

The big question is — will Gomez get an invite? Likely not, even though it’d be a shame if the two were no longer on speaking terms.

In July, fans of the couple believe that artist Taylor Swift officially outed Bieber as being a cheater. Well — sort of.

Swift reportedly liked a comment on Tumblr that stated it, so many are viewing that as fact. If that’s the case, Gomez may not even want to be on the guest list.

Even though the first wedding took a lot of people by surprise, it’s good to know they’ve paced themselves with the second.
