Anriel, aged 29, and Matrick, 32, shared their vision for a multi-day wedding celebration that went beyond the traditional ceremony. “We really wanted to give people a trip and a wedding they’ve never experienced before,” Anriel explained in an exclusive interview. The wedding festivities included a series of pre-wedding activities, such as a welcome dinner, beach excursions, a lively block party, and a farewell breakfast, all meticulously planned by Franciene Foster of Jamaican Wedding Concierge.
A highlight of the occasion was the couple’s commitment to a positive atmosphere, with “no bad vibes” being a paramount requirement for the weekend. Anriel expressed her desire for guests to leave the event feeling uplifted and enriched. The couple was joined by 120 guests, including fellow WWE stars like Oba Femi and Nia Jax, as well as rapper Lil Yachty. Notably, Matrick’s eldest brother, Andre, officiated the ceremony.
The nuptials unfolded in the enchanting surroundings of Trident Castle, located on the picturesque Port Antonio peninsula. Anriel graced the aisle adorned in three custom gowns by renowned designer JoJo Lindsey, evocatively accompanied by the strains of “Heaven” by Jamie Foxx as she made her way to Matrick. The couple exchanged heartfelt vows against the backdrop of the stunning Caribbean Sea, an ideal setting for their heartfelt union.
After tying the knot, the couple embraced the traditional practice of jumping the broom, a poignant honouring of their heritage. Anriel, reflecting on the commitment they both share, stated, “We both take marriage seriously and are ready to be life partners.”
During the reception, the newlyweds celebrated their first dance to “Fire and Desire” by Rick James and Teena Marie, marking a joyful start to their life together. Guests enjoyed a sumptuous buffet featuring a blend of American and Jamaican delicacies, including crab cakes, jerk shrimp, and braised oxtail.
The couple’s cake, a stunning three-tiered creation, offered a selection of flavours: red velvet, vanilla, and lemon, representing both tradition and modernity in their celebration. Anriel, together with a talented team that included celebrity makeup artist Marandan Renea, ensured that not only she but also her bridesmaids looked impeccable on this momentous day.
Anriel and Matrick’s romance began as a blossoming friendship before evolving into a romantic relationship when they both found themselves single. Their proposal during a Thanksgiving dinner on 27th November 2022 solidified their commitment to each other. Now, as newlyweds, they are excited about their future adventures, including plans for a honeymoon in Africa and aspirations of starting a family.
“Our morals and values align seamlessly,” Anriel shared, highlighting the depth of their connection. With shared interests and a profound affection for each other, the couple is focused on creating a fulfilling life together.
As they embark on their journey as a married couple, Howard and Belton’s story is one of love, commitment, and a shared enthusiasm for life’s many adventures. As their post-wedding plans take shape, their commitment to travel and explore together remains a priority, with Africa being the next destination on their list.
As they celebrate this new chapter, Anriel and Matrick exemplify a vibrant and supportive partnership, enriched by their experiences and aspirations for the future.
