The wedding of Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and actress Hailee Steinfeld included a nod to one of the team’s most beloved traditions. According to Bills offensive tackle Spencer Brown, the couple played The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside” during their reception – the same song that became a viral sensation among Bills players last season. Brown revealed this detail on a recent podcast, noting that while guests were asked to keep phones away, the musical moment was particularly memorable.
Steinfeld later shared intimate wedding details through her newsletter, describing Allen’s emotional reaction when he saw her in her wedding dress. The actress wore a custom Tamara Ralph gown with opera gloves and a lace veil, while Allen opted for a classic black tuxedo. Their California ceremony was attended by several Bills teammates and coaches, with celebrations lasting until 3 a.m.
The newlyweds incorporated several personal touches into their special day. During the reception, Allen and Steinfeld joined the band on stage for an impromptu performance, with the quarterback humorously declaring “I’m not leaving!” as the night wound down. Steinfeld described the dance floor as being so active it was “literally bowing” under the energy of their guests.
Since returning from their honeymoon, Allen has spoken glowingly about married life, calling his union with Steinfeld “the most important decision I’ll make in my life.” The couple is currently enjoying quiet time together before Allen reports to training camp next month, developing new routines like their preference for early 4 p.m. dinners.
As the Bills prepare for their season opener against the Ravens on September 7, fans can expect to hear “Mr. Brightside” blaring during home games – a tradition that now carries extra significance following its appearance at their quarterback’s wedding. The song’s connection to both the team and Allen’s personal life has created an even deeper bond between the franchise and its star player.
