Taylor Swift, who first met Gomez backstage at a Jonas Brothers concert in 2008, arrived in California with a small entourage of umbrellas to stay hidden from cameras. Photographers did not catch her face, but they did spot a white box carried by her security team. Swift, now engaged to Travis Kelce, has offered her flower girl services in the past, so a little wedding surprise would not be shocking.

Selena Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building costars Martin Short and Steve Martin were confirmed attendees. Gomez told The Drew Barrymore Show last spring that “Marty is due to give a speech” and “Steve will probably pull out his banjo,” E! News reported. Paul Rudd was also seen chatting with the couple at the El Encanto luxury spa resort before dinner. Meryl Streep, however, was absent.
Other stars celebrating the weekend, according to Us Weekly, include Paris Hilton, Ed Sheeran, Ashley Park, and David Henrie, Gomez’s former Wizards of Waverly Place costar.
