The bride and groom exchanged handwritten vows in front of 115 friends and family members at theMalibu Dream Resort.
Swanson said the pair “fell in love” with their venue the first time they toured the oceanfront destination.
“When we first arrived there was a hummingbird playing in the front fountain,” she explains. “Ever since Corey and I met, we said that hummingbirds were our good omen, so right off the bat we felt connected to the property.

The couple envisioned “a fun getaway weekend” for their big day with their “favorite people in the middle of our two favorite things - the mountains and ocean,” she adds.
“We wanted to keep the ceremony intimate, heartwarming and uplifting,” Swanson says.
As a sweet touch, desserts featured their the two-tier wedding cake fromSusie Cakeswith carrot cake and celebration flavors, plus bite size Nutella banana spring rolls, blueberry cheesecake cups, and fresh baked chocolate chip cookies.
Former NFL playerMatt Leinart, a close friend of the couple, officiated the ceremony.
“We’re just super grateful to have somebody to look up to in our life,” Brooks said of Leinart in avideo that the couple sharedwhile documenting the process of asking Leinart to take on the role at their wedding.
The newlyweds first met through TikTok after Brooks appeared on Swanson’s page. Her “jaw dropped” because “obviously, he’s gorgeous!” she says. The couple then exchanged DMs before they met up for a beach date in May 2020. They later got engaged on the two-year anniversary of the day they met.
“Both Corey and I take being husband & wife very seriously,” Swanson says. “We both are so excited to create a life and family together. We are both looking forward to having kids, so getting married is the commitment not only to each other but our future family together.”
