"Phillip's papa bear was raised Melkite in Lebanon, and he and his parents and so on, were all married under this same religion, through the same intentional, sacred ceremony" she explained. "For us to be able to follow in his footsteps, was the most powerful, emotional thing. Our parents and two best friends were by our sides as we did it."


As for the ceremony on Monday, Makenzie shared on her Instagram Story, "we wanted to be in the snow, hibernating in the mountains with our families all in the same place."


"We had a 2nd ceremony, in our own unique style, with immediate family $ siblings & my papa bear officiating it…we are VERY married!!!" she added.


The event also saw some other SYTYCD stars in attendance including Hokuto Konishi, Malice Miller, Paul Karmiryan and Jasmine Mason. Following the special day, Makenzie changed her last name to Phillip's on Instagram.

In light of SYTYCD alum Stephen "tWitch" Boss's tragic death this week at the of 40, Phillip posted a lengthy tribute on his Instagram on Thursday.


"I got married a day before Twitch died. I felt myself take a step towards becoming the man I always wanted to be, and then that man took his own life," he penned in the note. "Twitch transformed me into a better man, a man more worthy of the woman I'm now married to. He was the embodiment of 'good.'"


Offering his support to Boss's family, he wrote in the caption, "We are holding you in our minds. The magnitude of this loss can't be grasped…you have all of us behind you, supporting and loving you in any and every way you need."
