Hailey Bieber opens up about delay on the big day
Hailey and Justin Bieber were legally married for a full year before the official walk down the aisle took place in 2019.
The spouses eventually threw a lavish party in South Carolina with friends, family, and lots of fellow A-listers.
Hailey Bieber opens up about why the two lovebirds waited so long before throwing a bash.
“When we first got married, we were just figuring out our life together. I felt like putting a wedding in the middle of all of that would be really hectic and stressful," Hailey says in her Elle exclusive interview.
She added that her husband already had a lot on his mind, being diagnosed with Lyme disease.
“He was really sick. He has Lyme disease, and he was dealing with a bunch of medical stuff. We didn’t have a diagnosis."

The couple dealt with public scrutiny over private matters
"It was hard because everybody from the outside was being super mean and judgmental, saying he looked like he was on drugs, saying how unhealthy he looked, when in truth, he was not healthy and we didn’t know why," she recalls.
"It was months of me being a new wife trying to help him figure out what was wrong and what was going on. Now he’s perfectly healthy. But going through that and then trying to be like, ‘So where does our wedding fit into this?’ didn’t feel like the vibe at all.”

The pair prior to their wedding had been on and off, but it was ultimately the Canadian born singer's growth that inspired Hailey.
“He had grown up so much. I was actually shocked," she says. "I think I had grown up a lot, too. He was somebody I’d always cared about so deeply and loved very deeply. Obviously, it took work and getting past things between the two of us, but it was all very worth it."
The two are enjoying married life, and are very happy together.
"He’s an incredible, amazing man and such a good partner to go through life with. There is no one else I would have ever wanted to spend my life with except him. So, I’m lucky," the model gushed.
