Jonathan Grahm, a L.A.-based chocolatier behind Compartés Chocolates, and Jeffrey Postlethwaite, an English-born actor and founder of California Gummy Bears, met on a dating app in 2016 and quickly hit it off. They got engaged in April 2018 in Kauai, Hawaii and had their 80-guest wedding on June 2, 2022 at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, California. The couple wanted a California orchard meets tropical theme for their wedding, with a Hawaiian vibe, white and gold colors, and let the venue, flowers, and food do the talking. The grooms did the planning themselves, with the help of day-of coordinator Jessica Rolph of 3 Little Birds Event Planning.
