Elizabeth Porras, who traveled from San Francisco for the wedding, tells PEOPLE of the walkabout: “He looked a little subdued, a little nervous, for sure. But that makes sense, it’s the night before his wedding. You could definitely see he had the wedding glow about him, which was really adorable. It’s so adorable to see him so in love.”
