on Monday, Gates called the wedding planning process “challenging” due to both the pandemic and her family's "transition". 

“It’s been a challenging year, both collectively with the pandemic and for our families going through transitions.” Gates said.

“But our love for one another has been a constant. Being able to celebrate our wedding with our closest friends and family was a dream come true,”

The Gates' was finalized in August.
