Selena Gomez left her mother, Mandy Teefey, "completely shattered" after ignoring her at her wedding to Benny Blanco, according to the Daily Mail. Instead of having her mother walk her down the aisle, Gomez chose to have her grandfather, David Cornett. The source claims that Teefey and her stepfather were devastated when questioned, while David Cornett and his wife broke down in tears of joy. The choice was made early in the planning process.

Celebrities like Taylor Swift attended the incredibly secret and private Santa Barbara celebration, where guests were not told the wedding location until they were picked up. Despite the alleged snub, as reported by the Daily Mail, Teefey has played a significant role in Selena Gomez's life, helping her manage her career as a single mother and introducing her to Benny Blanco years before their romance. In public interviews, she is credited with influence even though she did not make it to the aisle.
