We had the pleasure of meeting Jewels and Forrest in July at their engagement session in Laguna Beach. Right away we knew this was going to be a special couple and the perfect wedding to close out 2023. The pair are down to earth, funny and super cute with one another! Jewels and Forrest met on Match.com during the Covid pandemic, and they hit it off right away. Their first conversation over the phone lasted eleven hours and then their first date lasted over two days! Safe to say they Matched perfectly. You can hear more about how this pair hit it off in All Because He Asked’ Signature Couples Video at the bottom of our blog. This hilarious video was played during their reception and had everyone laughing with the couple’s interviews and spoof reenactments.

Jewels and Forrest married at the VIP Palazzo Mansion—a beautiful private estate on this hills of San Clemente, with views of the ocean.  We love all this venue has to offer. There is a beautiful bridal suite with lots of natural light; and for the guys, an arcade perfect for getting ready and having some fun. The venue evokes true elegance of a grand European estate with a Southern California flare. There is a rock scape pool and bridge that provide a beautiful backdrop for cocktail hour; and a white domed gazebo—perfect for Jewels and Forrest's romantic and touching ceremony.

Guests were dazzled by the new Mr and Mrs as they made their grand entrance into the reception walking down two sweeping staircases and dancing under the 10-foot crystal chandelier.

The reception was beautiful with dinner, heart-felt and emotional toasts, dancing and laughs. We are so happy Jewels and Forrest found one another. We wish them much happiness and joy together.
