While it is unclear if Dion Dawkins will attend the ceremony, he has already presented a distinctive wedding gift to Allen. During his recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Dawkins described the gift as his way of supporting the quarterback throughout the season, remarking:
“I think one of the gifts that we’ve got Josh this season is we’ve sacked him the least. Well he’s been sacked the least amount of times during the season. So I think that that’s one of the best gifts that you know, his parents will admire and I think Josh will admire as well.”

The couple has chosen to keep their wedding celebrations private, opting for an intimate gathering rather than a large-scale event. Details about the guest list remain confidential, aligning with their wish to share this milestone with only their nearest and dearest.
An exclusive report by US Weekly in March provided insight into the planning process, with an insider noting Hailee Steinfeld’s enthusiasm for the wedding preparations. The source explained:
“Hailee is very excited about the planning process and now that Josh is done with the season, she hopes they can have more time to make decisions together. They only have a few timeframes they can have the wedding, so they are nailing down the logistics and are location scouting right now. It will be a very intimate but extravagant event.”
