True Love: Marco says he will always remember his favorite line from Matthew’s vows: “In our twilight years, if someone asks me, ‘What was it all for?’ I will say, ‘It was for you…it was for you, mi amor.’ ”

Special Space: The couple not only wanted to marry their lives and families, but also their cultures. The choice of La Puertita at Joe T. Garcia’s paid homage to Marco’s Mexican roots.

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.

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.
