In December 2012, actor Zach Braff opened the doors of his Los Angeles home to host the wedding of his close friend and fellow Scrubs star, Donald Faison, and Faison’s longtime partner, CaCee Cobb. The event not only celebrated the couple’s love but also highlighted some amusing moments that unfolded throughout the day.

During a recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Braff revealed the amusing concerns he had before the wedding. Preparing for the beautiful but potentially noisy ceremony, he sought to ease any tension with his neighbours. “I live in a bit of a bowl, so I was concerned about the noise,” Braff explained. To mitigate issues, he personally delivered gift bags to each neighbour, apologising in advance for what he anticipated would be a spirited celebration. “I didn’t want anyone to call the cops,” he said.
On the day of the wedding, Braff reminisced about one of the standout features of the ceremony: a powerful gospel choir that performed as Faison and Cobb exchanged vows. He described the choir as “beautiful” but also acknowledged that their exuberance made it a bit loud. “A full gospel choir with microphones and amps – they were remarkable! However, it was so loud that I feared my neighbours would be furious,” Braff confessed, recalling the choir’s impressive volume that could probably be heard from miles away.
Sarah Chalke, Braff’s co-star, joined him on the show, adding her own thoughts on the joyous occasion. According to her, the reception continued well past the anticipated 11 PM conclusion. Although the police were called due to noise complaints, the outcome was not quite what Braff had imagined. “The police arrived but ended up enjoying the choir so much that they started dancing along,” he joked, much to the amusement of the audience.
The union of Faison and Cobb was further personalised with a unique touch. The couple chose to incorporate the tradition of “jumping the broom” into their ceremony, a nod to their heritage. They also recited personal vows, imbuing their celebration with an intimate feel. The wedding was reportedly styled in a Southern backyard theme, a detail that was particularly important to Cobb, who desired a relaxed and heartfelt event.
Paige Appel, from the event planning company Bash, Please, was instrumental in making Cobb’s vision a reality. “CaCee really wanted a Southern-style backyard wedding,” Appel elaborated, explaining that the intent was to create a homey atmosphere that was both welcoming and warm.
Faison and Cobb’s love story began when they got engaged in August 2011. Their engagement announcement on social media showcased their playful dynamic, with Faison tweeting, “If you like it then you better put a Ring on it.” Cobb humorously replied, “If she likes it then she better say YES!!” Their evident connection added to the magic of their wedding day, which was filled with laughter, music, and heartfelt moments.
As Braff’s reflections remind us, the event was not just a celebration of Faison and Cobb’s love, but also a testament to friendship, community, and joyous spontaneity. Moving forward, the couple continues to embrace their life together, supported by friends who have journeyed with them through love, friendship, and memorable celebrations.
