It was a match made in “Dancing with the Stars” heaven! Derek Hough and Mark Ballas first met in 2006 when they both appeared on the hit show. After a few years of friendship and dance-floor chemistry, the two stars got together in 2012 and even briefly considered marriage. After several years of dating, the couple finally decided to tie the knot in 2023.

Derek and Mark’s Wedding

The wedding was a star-studded event attended by some of the biggest names in Hollywood. From Julianne Hough to Maksim Chmerkovskiy, all of Derek and Mark’s friends were in attendance. The ceremony was held at the historic Hollywood Baptist Church, which is a popular spot for celebrity weddings.

The couple exchanged vows in a traditional ceremony, with Mark’s father officiating the proceedings. The couple said “I do” in front of a small congregation of close family and friends. After the ceremony, the newlyweds were showered with love and support from their guests.

The Reception

After the ceremony, the couple and their guests headed to the reception at a nearby ballroom. The evening was filled with music, dancing, and lots of laughter. The couple chose a color palette of blues and whites for the decorations, which were simple yet elegant. The reception was catered by a five-star restaurant and featured some of the couple’s favorite dishes.

At the end of the night, Derek and Mark left their reception in a vintage convertible and drove off into the night. The couple honeymooned in the Caribbean and returned home a few weeks later to begin their new lives as husband and wife.
