Happily Married!
Two years after their engagement, the fashionable sweethearts tied the knot on September 13, 2025. The venue was the very elegant and classic The Lafayette Hotel & Club in San Diego, CA, with 160 of their family and friends joining them for the ceremony and festivities.
Friend and wedding planner Julia Ford helped the couple have a stress-free wedding and reception, which had a retro chic feel. They had a string quartet and a Smiths and Morrissey tribute band too, crooning the night away with those classic tunes from Moz and company, which the two are big fans of.
The reception menu was also in delicious retro classic American, such as burger sliders, fries, grilled-cheese sandwiches, sundaes, and chocolate chip cookies, plus a gourmet main menu. The Oaxacan restaurant in the venue served early cocktails and delicious Mexican cuisine as well.
