Having become engaged in December 2024, Floyd and Frei, both originally from Boston and Austin respectively, chose the iconic venue for its proximity to Hollywood. The couple sought to showcase their life together in Los Angeles through the wedding, which aimed to embody an “old-school, Old Hollywood” aesthetic, perfectly complementing the luxurious surroundings of the hotel, strategically located near Rodeo Drive.
Reflecting on their special day, Floyd expressed excitement about the gathering of loved ones. “Especially having family and friends who live all over, this was the one time we could get everyone together from all walks of life,” he shared. Floyd, who is well-known for his role as Phillip “Chance” Chancellor IV on *The Young and the Restless*, has recently transitioned to *Days of Our Lives*, stepping into the role of Chad DiMera after being cast following a surprising character exit from his previous show.
The planning process for their wedding was notably smooth, thanks to the assistance of wedding planner Katie Seefeldt. The weekend festivities kicked off with a welcome party held at the Sunset Tower Hotel on the evening prior to the ceremony, generously organised by Floyd’s parents.
On the wedding day, Floyd and Frei shared a quiet moment over coffee, exchanging handwritten vows that helped ease their nerves. According to Frei, this intimate experience allowed the couple to focus on one another before the formalities of the ceremony began.
Their wedding was officiated by a close friend, Hayes Beyersdorfer, who had firsthand knowledge of the couple’s journey, as he was present the night they first met at a gathering on Valentine’s Day in 2020. Although Floyd and Frei did not start dating until a year later, their story has been one of serendipity and connection.
Frei’s striking bridal gown was crafted by designer Danielle Frankel, featuring a skirt, veil, and neck scarf, paired with a corset top from Wiederhoeft. In an attempt to keep her look fresh for the reception, she later opted for a mini version of her wedding dress, striving to achieve a balance between elegance and playfulness.
As for the groom, Floyd donned a stylish tuxedo by Todd Snyder. The couple took inspiration from their respective hometowns for the reception, with culinary stations offering an Austin twist featuring mini tacos and sliders alongside a Boston-style seafood station. The evening culminated with an elegant dinner prepared by Chef Anthony Keene.
The couple shared their first dance to the timeless Elvis Presley song “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” while their wedding band, led by Ben Mallare, kept the festive atmosphere alive throughout the night. Post-celebration, the newlyweds set off on a honeymoon to the stunning paradise of Bora Bora.
Both Floyd and Frei expressed that the day exceeded their expectations, truly embodying the romance of a fairytale. Frei remarked, “If we could take the most glamorous parts of our lives and all the things that we love and fit them into a dream, fairytale weekend, that’s exactly what this wedding was.”
Now that they have begun their life as a married couple, the pair is looking forward to building their future together. Floyd reflected on their time together thus far, stating, “The past five years that we have been together have truly been the best five years of our lives — and to think that we get to spend a lifetime together from this moment on just makes both of us so excited for what the future has to offer.”
The couple’s journey to this memorable day began on December 21, 2024, when Floyd proposed to Frei in the snow-covered Boston Commons. The romantic setting featured a pear-cut diamond ring, which Floyd presented to Frei after an effort to coax her into walking through the park in frigid temperatures. The engagement marked the beginning of a magical experience that culminated in their stunning wedding celebration.
As they transition into this new chapter of their lives, Floyd and Frei have much to look forward to, with love and shared dreams guiding their next steps together.
