Marco Vivian & Matthew Warren
March 20, 2021
Grooms Matthew Warren and Marco Vivian have been “inseparable ever since” the fates of online dating brought them together on March 20, 2018. They planned to tie the knot exactly two years later but were forced to delay their celebration in the face of COVID. “It was a really tough time for us because we had put so much passion, time, and love into that moment,” says Matthew. In order to keep their sentimental March 20 wedding date, the couple held a Mexican-influenced reception on Saturday and exchanged vows the previous afternoon. Splitting the celebrations allowed for guests and newlyweds alike to slow down and enjoy each moment—like Matthew singing John Legend’s “All of Me” to Marco as he ascended the aisle. Remembers Marco: “It was beautiful and magical.”
Thinking Pink
“I wanted something to set the mood for the reception,” says Matthew, who, after an extensive search, found these Tom Ford–inspired pink velvet blazers that fit the bill.
Have Your Cake
Matthew, an avid baker, researched cake designs for months, ultimately landing on an eclectic style dotted with natural florals and fruits. Dallas Affaires Cake Co. brought the look to life, with each tier made in a different flavor—including Mexican chocolate with Kahlua filling and champagne with fresh-sliced strawberries—to appeal to guests’ varied tastes.
