We expected nothing less.

Emily Mariko has married her longtime partner in a picturesque Californian ceremony.
The TikToker shared ample footage of the special day, from rehearsal dinner to reception with her nearly 13 million followers, and it’s the stuff of wedding dreams.
Mariko, 31, rocked a series of stunning white outfits in the lead up to the ceremony, including a halter neck mini dress by Magda Burtrym for the welcome dinner, a coordinated vest and trousers by Ralph Lauren for the rehearsal dinner, and a ruched mini dress by Mirror Palais while en route to the chapel.
Then, to walk down the aisle, Mariko looked effortlessly elegant in a simple strapless gown, custom made by Mirror Palais (the designer of which happens to be one of Mariko’s close friends), complete with a sweeping train and minimalist veil. She kept her beauty look for the occasion equally pared back, with a sleek low bun and soft bridal makeup.
After the ceremony, Mariko made yet another outfit change, switching to a slinky, off-white cowl neck gown, complete with clear straps and a matching shawl.
Even if you’re not familiar with Mariko herself, you’ve likely made her viral salmon and rice bowl. The simple dish took TikTok by storm circa Summer 2021, consisting of baked salmon, leftover white rice (heated in the microwave with an ice cube) and kewpie mayonnaise, and served with nori sheets and kimchi.
Since then, she’s become famous for her effortlessly aesthetic cooking — and eating — videos.
Mariko shared footage of her engagement to long-time partner Matt Rickard back in October 2021. Like most of Mariko’s videos, the proposal was similarly picturesque, taking place on a beachside clifftop.
The venue for the wedding itself was equally beautiful, with Mariko selecting the Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, for her big day. Eagle eyed fans might also recognise the venue from Caleb and Julie’s wedding in The OC.
After the ceremony, guests were guided to a cocktail hour, complete with several floral archways and a grazing station with an abundance of fresh produce.
Then, the reception dinner took place under a canopy of fairy lights, where guests were seated at a single long table dressed in white linen and cream flowers.
We wonder if they were served salmon bowls?
