Greg Jr., opted for a classic navy blue suit while Elliott donned a striking purple one—a color chosen to honor his late mother, who lost her life to lupus during his college years. The grooms’ style was timeless, exactly as Greg Jr. had envisioned. Speaking about their wedding outfits, Greg Jr. noted, “We both wanted a look that was classic, but also with some flair and our own personal style and touch.” While exchanging their vows, Broadway star Kyle Freeman performed Luther Vandross’ “Here and Now,” capturing the joy and gravity of their union.
Once the reception began, the newlyweds changed into their second outfits ready to celebrate with their family. After years of love and a journey shared with the world, Greg Mathis Jr. and Elliott Cooper said “I do” in an intimate ceremony. With just family by their side, they turned their big day into a “dream come true.” The couple said “I do” on October 21, at the luxurious Waldorf Astoria, surrounded by just 15 of their closest family members.
The 5-star hotel became a sanctuary of love for Greg Jr., 35, and Elliott, 49, who marked the occasion in custom high-waisted suits. Their beach-themed decor, designed by event planner Andrew Roby, transformed the sandy shores into an elegant affair.
The couple opted for dark purple, navy, and black with bright yellow accents, creating a striking yet serene vibe. But that’s not the end of the celebration; the newlyweds plan a bigger ceremony in Los Angeles next year. They said that their Mexico wedding was all about creating a “family trip” feel a chance to make memories with their loved ones. After the two publicly came out about their relationship on Greg Jr’s family reality show, “Mathis Family Matters,” in 2022, they’ve always put their family at the heart of their bond.
“Family is one thing with Greg and I that really solidified our relationship in the beginning,” Elliott shared. “Family is super important to me and us because we know that they love us and we love them.” Cabo San Lucas was the perfect backdrop for their ceremony. The location holds special meaning for them, as it was the destination of their first trip together when they started dating. Since then, the Mexican tourist destination has become one of their favorite vacation spots. “We love the beach … and the ambience has such a natural beauty,” Elliott explains.
Before the wedding, a welcome dinner at Nobu Los Cabos set the tone for the days to come. The ceremony itself was deeply personal, with the grooms’ fathers, officiating together. It was an idea Greg Jr. came up with to make the moment even more meaningful. Reflecting on the day, the reality star said it was special and “a dream come true.” They marked their anniversary this past February—the same month they first met. Greg Jr. commemorated the milestone on Instagram, sharing photos of the couple and a heartfelt caption.
