Durek added, “I’m not gonna lie and say like in the beginning it wasn’t kind of bumpy because you’re having this shaman, bisexual, Black man coming into your family, but over years we’ve built such a lovely relationship. I love them.”

Ahead of their big day, the Princess told HOLA!'s sister brand HELLO! that for her, "getting married will seal the closeness between" them. She said, "It's a way of elevating the energy and entering into a new phase of our relationship."

Meanwhile, Durek said that the importance of marriage is "a very spiritual thing." "It's letting the world know this is the person I love in a declaration before family, friends and God," Durek told HELLO!. "Sealing our relationship in front of the universe is a strong spiritual declaration, and to do that surrounded by the people who love us and who we love, will be wonderful."
