Scott Twins' Wedding Woes

Drew Scott and his wife Linda Phan's wedding was a lavish affair in Italy in May 2018. The couple hosted more than 300 guests at La Piazza del Borgo in Puglia, Italy. The wedding was a multicultural ceremony that combined the brothers' Scottish heritage with Chinese traditions to celebrate Linda's culture. The bridesmaids wore traditional Chinese attire, while the groomsmen wore kilts. The couple's wedding was featured on a TLC special called Drew and Linda Say I Do.

Jonathan Scott, on the other hand, has been married twice. He married his first wife in July 2007, but they divorced in 2010. He then dated Jacinta Kuznetsov, a Canadian radio producer, from 2016 to April 2018. In August 2023, he got engaged to actress-singer Zooey Deschanel, and the couple plans to have a small, intimate wedding.

Jonathan Scott cried at Drew's wedding

Jonathan Scott couldn't hold back his tears at his twin brother Drew's wedding to Linda Phan in Italy in May 2018. Jonathan, who was the best man, admitted to "crying the whole time" during the day's events. However, he managed to get through an off-the-cuff best man's speech, where he spoke from the heart about his love for both his brother and Linda.

Jonathan described the "profound love and respect" between his brother and Linda, and how their bond had given him hope for finding love. He also shared his thoughts on how Linda had positively influenced Drew:

> "Linda really taught Drew to have an open heart. Drew has always been very analytical in his approach to life, but Linda taught him to slow down and express love, and it’s really made him a better man. And I’m glad to have them both on my team."

Jonathan's emotional reaction at the wedding came at a time when he was newly single, having recently split from his girlfriend, Jacinta Kuznetsov.

Drew Scott's wedding had over 300 guests

Drew Scott and his wife Linda Phan had a large wedding in Italy, with over 300 guests in attendance. The nuptials took place in 2018, in the town of Puglia, at La Piazza del Borgo. The guest list was so extensive that the resort struggled to accommodate everyone. Drew's twin brother and co-star Jonathan Scott, who served as best man, joked about the scale of the wedding during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. He teased Drew, saying, "I heard the number of people, and I had a panic attack".

Drew and Linda invited 350 people to the wedding, but they were unprepared for the final headcount, as 310 guests showed up. The large number of attendees was surprising, as the couple had expected only a fraction of the invitees to travel to Italy for the ceremony. Drew and Linda had initially been advised that only about a tenth of the invited guests would be able to make the trip.

The wedding was so large that it even included a camera crew, which followed the couple throughout the day. Despite the grand scale of the celebration, Drew and Linda did have an intimate ceremony beforehand. They legally married in a hot tub in Nashville, Tennessee, exchanging burgers instead of rings.

Jonathan Scott gave a best man speech

Jonathan Scott gave a tearful and widely reported on best man speech at his twin brother Drew's wedding. Drew married his long-time love Linda Phan in a lavish ceremony in Italy in May 2018. The nuptials, which took place at La Piazza del Borgo in Puglia, Italy, hosted more than 300 guests.

Jonathan Scott decided to speak from the heart in his best man toast, rather than prepare a written speech. He knew he wouldn't get far without becoming emotional. "I love them both very much," he said of his new sister-in-law and his twin. He also added that he was "the emotional one" among the Scott siblings.

Jonathan's speech was a heartfelt tribute to the couple's love and respect for each other. He said, "There is such profound love and respect between the two of them. They really do make each other better people. And to see that bond now made official after, I believe, eight years, it just feels right."

Jonathan also shared his thoughts on the impact his sister-in-law has had on his brother: "Linda taught Drew to have an open heart. Drew has always been very analytical in his approach to life, but Linda taught him to slow down and express love, and it’s really made him a better man."

The best man's speech was a highlight of the wedding celebrations, which also included a first dance that went off the rails and a camera crew that followed the groom everywhere, even while he was getting changed.

Drew Scott's wedding was in Italy

Drew Scott's wedding to Linda Phan was indeed in Italy. The couple tied the knot in May 2018 in a "magical" and lavish ceremony in Puglia, Italy, with over 300 guests in attendance. The outdoor wedding took place at La Piazza del Borgo in Puglia, a town in Southern Italy.

The HGTV realtor and co-host of "Property Brothers" had his twin brother, Jonathan, by his side as his best man. The groomsmen, including Jonathan and J.D. Scott, wore kilts made from the Scott family tartan, while the bride wore a gown by Claire Pettibone. Linda's 10 bridesmaids wore emerald green dresses, one of Phan's favourite colours.

The destination wedding festivities kicked off on May 9 with bachelor and bachelorette excursions, including a bicycle tour and cooking classes. This was followed by an Apulian-style welcome party on May 11, with artisan booths featuring cheese and pasta-making. The couple exchanged custom wedding bands by Devil's Workshop, and the flower arrangements were created by Florist Vincenzo Dascanio.

The newlyweds surprised guests with a choreographed first dance by Scott's "Dancing with the Stars" partner, Emma Slater, and her husband, Sasha Farber. The couple even exchanged vows a second time before their big day in an intimate ceremony in Nashville, Tennessee.

Drew Scott married Linda Phan

Drew Scott and Linda Phan first met at Toronto Fashion Week in 2010 and got engaged in December 2016. The couple married in 2018, but it turns out that their luxurious Italian wedding, attended by over 300 guests, wasn't their first. Scott and Phan had a secret wedding before their Italy nuptials, exchanging burgers instead of rings in a hot tub in Nashville.

"We actually got married in Nashville," Phan explained in a YouTube video. "Instead of exchanging rings, we exchanged burgers, and we got married in a hot tub," Scott added. "And so, the justice of the peace came to us, and we were in the hot tub. We thought they were gonna be like, 'No, we can't do that.' But she was like, 'That's the coolest thing I've ever seen."

Scott explained that they had a legal wedding locally before the ceremony and "fun stuff" abroad. "How it works, there's a whole other process if you want to get married overseas," he said. "So, the legal wedding is done locally, and then you just do a ceremony and all the fun stuff abroad."

The couple's Italian wedding was held at La Piazza del Borgo in Puglia, Italy, with more than 300 guests in attendance. Drew's twin brother and co-star Jonathan was the best man and gave an off-the-cuff speech, speaking from the heart. "I love both Drew and Linda very much," he said.
