*Greg Mathis Jr., the son of Judge Greg Mathis, has tied the knot with his partner Elliott Cooper.
PEOPLE reports that Mahis Jr., 35, and Cooper, 40, exchanged vows on Oct. 21 during a destination wedding at the Waldorf Astoria in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The location holds a special place in their hearts.
“When we first started dating, the first trip I took Greg on was to Cabo,” Cooper told the publication. “It was a surprise birthday trip where I had family do a personal video for him.”
He added, “We love the beach … and the ambience has such a natural beauty,” he explains.

“We selected the actual resort because on our last family vacation, we went there for Christmas and we had dinner at El Farallon, the restaurant at the hotel, and we were like, ‘This is where we want to get married,’ ” Greg Jr. said.
The couple’s intimate ceremony was officiated by Greg and Cooper’s fathers.
“Because my dad is a judge — a famous one too — he’s officiated everyone else’s wedding,” Greg Jr. explained. “And so I have always seen him in all these weddings across the country and I’ve just always had his vision in my mind of when I get married. [I thought], ‘I hope that the person I marry is going to be okay with this because I want my dad to officiate my wedding.’ And Elliot’s dad [Sergeant Calvin Cooper] is actually in law enforcement too, which is funny. It’s a note about us that we always laugh about.”
Following the wedding, Greg called the intimate event, “a dream come true.”
“I know that’s cheesy, but it is. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted,” he shared with PEOPLE.
Greg Jr. and Elliot are planning a second, larger celebration next year in Los Angeles.
