Duan + Craig
Duan Mackenzie and Craig Nelson met on the set of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. It seemed only fitting that the show's twin leads, Dylan Sprouse and Cole Sprouse (childhood friends of the Groom) were his Best Men. Although Duan and Craig live in New York City, they chose to have a destination wedding in California where they grew up. The couple's garden pavilion wedding was lush with nature and pastel flowers, blending vintage and modern touches - true to the Bride's personal style. As Duan is half-Thai, they had a beautiful and serene Thai ceremony before their western ceremony. Guests poured water on their hands using a conch shell as they gave the couple their individual blessings. Their friend, Jai Lott, who works in the coffee industry, also supplied coffee bean favors for guests while his wife, Gianna, officiated.
