As the couple begins planning their nuptials, the guest list is already a topic of fascination.
“Of course, Selena is going to have Taylor Swift and Blake Lively and that whole contingent, but she’s also going to have some unexpected people like Meryl Streep and Jennifer Aniston,” the source revealed.
Aniston, 55, has had a close bond with Gomez since the two met in a bathroom at a Vanity Fair event.
As per E! News, their friendship blossomed from that moment, with Aniston fondly describing Gomez as “just like a little cherub that I feel like I wanna take care of” during a 2015 Golden Globes afterparty.
“She’s been extremely supportive and wonderful,” Aniston said at the time.
“Jennifer treats Selena like a younger sister,” the source continued.
“She’s very excited for her and has already sent flowers and a card offering to help out however she can. She’s planned a couple of weddings herself, so she knows a whole lot about the process and has a lot of advice to share.”
For Gomez, Aniston's guidance is invaluable.
“No doubt Selena will be happy to have her guidance. It’s hard enough planning a wedding, but a celebrity one is on a different level, so any help she can get will be appreciated,” the insider added.
