Greg Mathis Jr. and Elliott Cooper tied the knot on October 21, 2024, in a heartfelt ceremony at the Waldorf Astoria in Cabo San Lucas, surrounded by just 15 family members. The couple, who first met on Valentine’s Day in 2016, chose the beach for its sentimental value as their first vacation spot together.
In custom outfits—Greg Jr. in a navy suit and Elliott in a purple one to honor his late mother—they exchanged vows while Broadway star Kyle Freeman performed “Here and Now.” Their wedding, designed to feel like a family trip, featured elegant beach-themed decor.
The newlyweds plan to celebrate again with a larger ceremony in Los Angeles next year, reflecting their commitment to family and representation within the LGBTQ+ community. After an eight-year relationship, they see their marriage as a way to honor their journey together and inspire others.
