Meet Dr. Wellinthon García, Husband of Ross Matthews

They decided to exchange their wedding vows at the exact spot where they first met two years ago. Both grooms wore tuxedos by Robbie and Co., according to Everybody.
They got married in front of 110 guests who were there to celebrate their big day. They received gift bags of Mario Badescu skincare products, including toner, facial sunscreen and lip balm.
Ross said Everybody“It was a wedding in another location. So we invited 130 people, thinking maybe 50 would come. But 110 people came — and I was so happy!”
According to EverybodyRoss lives in Los Angeles, and Wellinthon lives in New York, so they had a hard time deciding on a location. “That made me very nervous,” Ross added. He continued, “But Drew Barrymore told us, ‘Do it where you’re supposed to do it, and the people who are supposed to be there will be there.’ So we chose the place where we first met.”
Drew not only helps them resolve their conflict, but also attends the wedding as a flower girl for both of them.
“I was on The Drew Barrymore Show,” Ross said. Everybody“One day we were doing a story about a wedding and she asked me, ‘Are you going to have a little girl throw flowers at my wedding?’ And I was like, ‘Why? You want to do that?’ ”
“And she was like, ‘Oh! Are you asking me to be your flower girl?'” he continued. “I was like, ‘Do you want me to?’ She was like, ‘Are you serious?’ I was like, ‘Are you serious?’ And she was like, ‘I’m serious.’ So she’s our flower girl!”
Ross and Wellinthon wrote their own vows. “I wrote my vows on the train into town and I just started crying. It was overwhelming, thinking about all the things I wanted to say to him,” Ross told the outlet.
The wedding ring was designed by Jean Kemanjian at OIS & Co.
Guests enjoyed bruschetta, sashimi, fresh fish, beef, salads and plenty of vegan options. Meanwhile, Wellinthon’s wedding cake of choice was red velvet.
