Gwen Stefani tied the knot with Blake Shelton over two months ago, but she's still basking in the bridal bliss.

The three-time Grammy Award winner, 51, reminisced about the emotional moment she chose her Vera Wang gown, sharing a throwback video from the fitting Monday on Instagram. "The moment I said yes to the dress," Stefani wrote in the caption.

She was glowing as she saw herself in the custom lily-white silk georgette gown with a sweetheart plunging neckline, noting in a hashtag that it was the second dress she tried on.

Stefani turned to model the cut-away back, fitted bodice and high low hand tumbled tulle skirt, as well as her white stiletto cowboy boots by Le Silla and her long veil. She also wore some gold bling around her neck, featuring her and Shelton's last names.

The completed chapel-length veil was hand-embroidered with the names of Stefani, Shelton, 45, and Stefani's sons, Kingston James, 15, Zuma Nesta Rock, 13, and Apollo Bowie, 7.

She also gave a glimpse at some of the other dresses that stylists Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn brought to the fitting, which ranged from über-girlie and feminine to long-sleeved, sleek and blinged-out.

After selecting the Vera Wang gown that was ultimately the winner, the No Doubt frontwoman also chose a second, shorter version of the dress for the reception. "You need a party dress when u get to marry @blakeshelton," she wrote, showing off the look on Instagram.

She later preserved her wedding gown and flowers in a box, telling Wang in a video that "it was literally a dream come true to be able to work with you and get married to Blake in your gown."

Stefani previously debuted her bridal fashion choices after she and Shelton got married at his Oklahoma ranch on July 3. "His love for her is so deep," a source told PEOPLE at the time. "Having the wedding at home was a way for their families — and Gwen — to be as comfortable as possible."

The Sweet Escape artist began dating Shelton in November 2015, after she joined him on The Voice coaching panel. They announced their engagement in October 2020, almost nine months before they tied the knot.

The path to electrification by the package delivery giants is critical to U.S. President Joe Biden's transportation climate goals. Achieving that aim, however, is hampered by battery shortages that are limiting EV supplies and keeping prices high, and by startup electric van makers that are running out of money and shutting down.

But the sheer racquet-twanging steaminess of Luca Guadagnino’s new entry in the canon makes its forerunners look like games of back-garden swingball.

  • Explainer-How Trump's immunity claim stalled 2020 election subversion case

    The U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments on Thursday on Donald Trump’s claim that he enjoys sweeping immunity from criminal prosecution for actions he took as president, a claim that has delayed by months a case accusing him of trying to overturn his 2020 defeat. The federal case brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith charging Trump with trying to overturn his election defeat -- one of four criminal cases the Republican presidential candidate faces -- has been paused since December while the immunity argument plays out. Criminal defendants are not usually able to appeal court rulings until after a trial if they are convicted, but Trump was able to file an immediate appeal because the immunity argument bears on whether he must even face a trial.
