Reveling in wedding whimsy, Christopher and Daniel designed a bold and beautiful ceremony at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills. The couple met on a dating app in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and they donned face masks for their first outdoor dinner date, hoping their spark would turn into a flame. Two years later, on the balcony of their shared apartment, Daniel discovered a jewelry box hidden among the flowers: A ring and a proposal marked the beginning of the rest of their lives together.
With an exuberant, bright style and many special surprises in store for their guests, this wedding was a glamorous celebration of the pair's personalities. The couple shares a love for the Italian fashion house ETRO, and added playful details nodding to the brand's vivid patterns and prints. Daniel toted a gold apple and chain designed by ETRO as he walked down the aisle, meeting Christopher under their hand-carved ceremony arch to reveal the rings hidden inside the delicate accessory.
After the "I do's," a mariachi band entertained guests with lively music to celebrate Daniel's Mexican heritage, and traditional folk dancers dazzled during dinner. A custom cake was decorated with ETRO's signature paisley design and accentuated by warm florals. An evening of elevated fine dining and a fantasy of fashionable fun, Christopher and Daniel's wedding was all about joy. "It's your day," Christopher says. "Do it your way."
