Duan & Craig met in 2010 on the set of Disney channel's "The Suite Life on Deck". Duan had noticed Craig after seeing him regularly at work, but it wasn't until she was directed to cross his line of vision during a scene that he first saw her. After chatting in person, they began messaging on Facebook and haven't gone a single day without talking since. Fittingly, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, who have become like brothers to the couple, served as the best men at their wedding.

Duan & Craig’s wedding brought them from Brooklyn, New York back home to Los Angeles, where they celebrated with 130 of their closest friends and family members. Their nuptials took place on a dreamy summer day at Descanso Garden - a romantic garden venue just outside of LA. During the planning of the wedding, the couple put a lot of trust in their vendors to guide them, and the outcome of that collaborative process was a tasteful, blush toned wedding palette with green and gold accents, and vintage touches throughout.

Reflecting on what their favorite part of the day was, Duan & Craig both said, without hesitation, "the Thai ceremony". The main part of the Thai ceremony is the water blessing (Rod Num Sang) where guests approach the bride & groom and offer well-wishes as they pour water down their hands. Each water blessing was unique and personal, often accompanied by laughter and joyful tears, making this emotional ceremony a personal career favorite to witness.

These two make love look easy even though it's not always quite so simple. I heard numerous sincere remarks from guests on how much they admired Duan & Craig and the decade long relationship that they have built together. Their friends and family describe their love as one to follow, and it was a true privilege to celebrate with & honor them as well as the people who helped to bring them there. Enjoy!
