“Beyond grateful to have you”: Hailee Steinfeld gushes over 'magical' wedding as Josh Allen sits out preseason finale

Hailee Steinfeld’s glowing recollection of her Santa Barbara wedding with Josh Allen has dominated headlines this week, offering a counterpoint to the Bills’ training-camp caution. As Allen sat out the preseason finale, the couple’s joy — thunder, chandeliers — became the reminder that life off the field fuels on-field focus.

Inside the wedding weekend that’s become Josh Allen’s emotional anchor for the grind ahead
Josh Allen’s personal life isn’t a sideshow; it’s a performance edge. From the sideline shoutout—“I mean, to have the support that I do at home… I get to support somebody as much as she supports me. So, very happy, obviously.”—to the way Hailee Steinfeld framed their Santa Barbara nuptials, the theme is stability.

In Beau Society, she called it “the most magical weekend of my life,” adding, “I was so beyond grateful to have you part of what I knew would be the most magical weekend of my life… I trust you and your technique immensely!” The couple’s favorite flourish? “We walked off the aisle to ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours),’ and it started thundering. No rain, just thunder and lightning. Magical.”

Why Sean McDermott’s cautious call points to Buffalo’s bigger picture and Week 1 readiness
The Bills don’t need August heroics from their reigning MVP—they need him fresh in January. Resting Josh Allen for the preseason finale against the Buccaneers underscores that calculus.

As Sean McDermott put it, “No. 1, that’s my job to adjust as need be… You’ve got the reigning MVP, and I feel like he’s shown to this point that he’s in a good spot… I have a responsibility to protect him and protect the team…. I feel good about where he is right now.”
