In a heartwarming celebration of love that has spanned decades, Chaz Bono, son of the legendary Cher, tied the knot with his first love, Shara Blue Mathes, in a romantic Hollywood wedding on Sunday, March 8, at the iconic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles.
The couple’s love story is nothing short of enchanting. They first met as teenagers at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute, and their connection has endured through the years, blossoming into a lifelong romance. In January 2017, their hearts found each other again, and now they have made their bond eternal.
Dressed in a timeless black tuxedo with a delicate purple calla lily boutonnière, Chaz looked every bit the dashing groom. Shara captivated hearts in a long-sleeved lace gown, her soft curls framing a radiant, glowing face, while her bouquet of purple orchids and deep-hued blooms mirrored the depth and beauty of their love.
Speaking with pure emotion, Chaz shared, “I first met Shara over 40 years ago. To marry the very first girl I ever kissed… it feels like destiny. She is my partner, my best friend, and the love of my life. Together, we are home.”
The ceremony was a vision of romance, with a candlelit aisle lined with moody floral arrangements and glowing red candles, adding an intimate, dreamlike ambiance. Cher, beaming with pride and joy, witnessed this magical union, celebrating the love her son has nurtured for a lifetime.
Their wedding, meticulously planned by Natalie Sofer, was a perfect blend of elegance, glamour, and heartfelt emotion. After exchanging vows, the newlyweds sealed their love with a kiss, marking the start of their lifelong journey together.
Chaz and Shara plan to celebrate their love further with a romantic honeymoon in Hawaii, beginning a new chapter filled with shared dreams, endless laughter, and a love that has truly stood the test of time.
