Selena Gomez<\/a>‘s grandfather proudly gave her away during her fairytale wedding to Benny Blanco<\/a> on Saturday … and we’re told the decision was a no-brainer.<\/p>\n

A family source tells TMZ … Selena chose her maternal grandfather, David, to walk her down the aisle<\/a> because she’s extremely close to him, and he never got a chance to walk his own daughter, Mandy, down the aisle because she eloped.<\/p>\n

The “Only Murders in the Building” actress’ dad, Rick, was present as she said “I do” to Benny … and sources say their relationship is pretty solid as well. However, it’s unclear how he ultimately felt about her decision to have her grandfather give her away.<\/p>\n

It certainly seems like all of Selena and Benny’s loved ones were simply happy to be there to experience this “Rare” love. Congrats to the happy couple!<\/p>\n
