A beautiful bride in 30 minutes or less! Nikki Bella revealed she did not select her wedding dress until right before walking down the aisle with Artem Chigvintsev.“People are going to think I’m crazy, but I didn’t choose my ceremony dress until 30 minutes before I walked down the aisle,” the former WWE star, 38, revealed to Brides in an interview published on Tuesday, October 11.Bella and Chigvintsev, both 40, tied the knot in August — two years after the couple welcomed their first child together.

Ongoing complications from the coronavirus pandemic put the pair’s initial wedding plans on pause. While they originally planned on having their wedding ceremony near their home in Napa Valley, California, the couple made a last-minute decision to wed in Paris, France instead.“Artem and I went to Paris on a secret vacation when we were first dating and didn’t want the world to know we were a couple yet,” the reality star revealed. “After that, we always said, ‘Run away to Paris with me.’ It’s always held a special place in our hearts, and when Napa wasn’t working out, we were like, ‘We just need to run away to Paris.

Let’s make it work.’ It was literally a fairy-tale ending.”The Total Bellas alum shared that she also had four different outfit changes while searching for her bridal gown.

A dress Bella purchased while engaged to John Cena was also in consideration.“I had two beautiful dresses that I loved, and they were going to be for a different marriage, but they were my dream and I love them.
