Just weeks after saying "yes" to boyfriend Jonathan Owens after he popped the all-important question, Simone Biles has already chosen her wedding dress.

The Olympic-winning gymnast announced the exciting news of her engagement in a heartwarming post on Instagram on February 15.

Biles, 24, shared a series of photos of Owens proposing in a gazebo in Houston, Texas. She also shared a video of her sparkly oval-cut diamond ring, which features a diamond-encrusted band.

"THE EASIEST YES," she wrote alongside images of the engagement. "I can't wait to spend forever & ever with you, you're everything I dreamed of and more! let's get married FIANCÉ @jowens_3."

Last week, Biles has clearly been busy with trying on bridal gowns for her big day, and it seems as though she's landed on the perfect one... or two.

Posing in a casual ensemble at Galia Lahav bridal shop in Los Angeles on Saturday, holding a framed sign that read: "I said yes to the dress at Galia Lahav LA."

In her Instagram post, Biles was seen in front of a leafy wall with white neon lights spelling out the shop name in one picture; in the second snap, she posed in front of white angel wings and two dresses on their hangers.

"Said yes to the dress(es)," she wrote, alongside a white heart and engagement ring emojis.

Over on Lahav's Instagram, the athlete was seen in several wedding gowns that were "not the chosen ones, but a sneak peek" from her fitting.

On her Instagram Story, Biles told one follower during a Q&A session with fans that she actually chose two dresses.

"The first dress I tried on was one of the ones I picked," she wrote. "The second one was about 8 in im guessing."

Biles also said her wedding would take place next year, and floated out Bora Bora as a potential honeymoon destination.

She also told a follower that she "just knew" she was going to marry fiancé Owens, 26, the day after she met him. "So fun fact, the day after I met Jonathan, I told my bestfriend [sic] Rachael that I was going to marry him… I just knew."
