For Rebecca Rittenhouse, everything became crystal clear during a clumsy moment at home with venture capitalist Kyle Robiskie, when she dropped and broke a bottle of olive oil at her bare feet. “Without hesitation, [Kyle] picked me up, carried me to the sofa, and wouldn’t let me help clean it up,” the actor, producer, and Privet Beauty founder says of the moment early in their relationship. “It was such a simple act of service, but it meant a lot to me and spoke volumes about the kind of man he is.”
The Hollywood Hills couple met in September 2021 at San Vicente Bungalows in West Hollywood, where Rebecca spotted Kyle across a crowded bar. “I basically stared at him until he finally talked to me, although it took a while because he thought I was there with another guy,” she says. The evening ended in conversation on the patio, where the two planned to meet again for their first date the following weekend. “We clicked so effortlessly from day one,” Rebecca says.
On their second anniversary, the couple returned to the site, where Kyle popped the question. After a two-year engagement, they wed in an intimate ceremony on November 22, 2025, at the First United Methodist Church in Pasadena, the bride’s hometown parish. “Since my mother passed away in 2019, it felt incredibly meaningful to get married in a space so connected to my family history and memories,” Rebecca says. She walked down the aisle to Nick Mulvey’s “Infinite Trees” wearing a custom Mark Ingram gown and capelet, surrounded by a riot of dark greenery and wispy trees. After exchanging their handwritten vows, the newlyweds and their guests proceeded to Rebecca’s father’s nearby home.
“It felt incredibly meaningful to get married in a space so connected to my family history and memories,” said Rebecca Rittenhouse.
Cocktail hour featured a 1940s-style jazz trio and a Negroni fountain, which was accidentally filled with the white version of the cocktail, causing guests to mistake it for water. “I think that may have contributed to the jovial party atmosphere,” Rebecca says, laughing. As guests mingled, the couple took photos on a balcony attached to Rebecca’s childhood bedroom, where florist Felisa Funes created a burgundy-red peony installation. “I used to stand [there] as a little girl imagining who I would marry someday,” she says. “So returning there on my wedding day felt surreal and emotional.”
To make the most of the property’s lush palm-fringed grounds, Studio Sully helped set up culinary stations and a raw bar outside, offering caviar, oysters, robust salads, and steak. “We wanted it to feel more like the best dinner party rather than an overly formal production,” the bride says. After cutting the cake, Rebecca changed into a corseted minidress by Seline Meisner for a “full-blown millennial dance party” led by DJ Ross One in the living room (aptly named “Club Don” after Rebecca’s father). Late-night revelers fueled up on In-N-Out burgers, boozy vanilla milkshakes, and espresso martinis before returning to the dance floor. “Like a high school fantasy come true,” Rebecca says.
