Bieber couple explain why small number of guests attended their 2nd wedding (PHOTOS)

Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber’s (née Baldwin) second wedding was on the smaller side for a reason, a source confirmed to Us Weekly.

“Hailey and Justin wanted to have a proper ceremony to celebrate their love,” the insider said. “Justin was really adamant about having one in front of their family and friends. It made their marriage feel more ‘real’ and ‘official’ to them. They kept the wedding small because Justin didn’t want any ‘fake friends’ there and hates that.”

Justin, 25, and Hailey, 22, said “I do” for the second time in South Carolina on Monday.

Though Justin and Hailey’s South Carolina ceremony was a smaller affair, a source noted to Us that only “core family and friends” were present for the big day.

“Justin and Hailey are far more emotionally and mentally supportive of each other than ever before,” the insider said.

Justin Bieber took to his Instagram Story on Thursday night to share a snap of one of his wedding gifts to new wife Hailey, The Daily Mail reported.

The image showed the 22-year-old model’s brand new necklace which read “wifey” on it.

On Tuesday, the 25-year-old and his bride shared some inside shots portraits taken at their wedding reception.

The young couple are now in Beverly Hills spending time together going to restaurants, shopping.
