Dancer Mark Ballas weds
Mark Ballas has wed fiancee Brittany Jean Carlson in a romantic ceremony the day after Thanksgiving.
The Dancing with the Stars professional and the singer-songwriter, best known by her stage name of BC Jean, were married on Friday (25Nov16) at a venue in Malibu, California, surrounded by family and friends.
The 30-year-old dancer had his fellow Dancing with the Stars pro
Derek Hough serving as best man on his big day, who shared a few
snaps on social media.
"It's Time!" Derek posted on Instagram, alongside a picture of an
ornate pocket watch.
Fellow dancers Julianne Hough and Cheryl Burke were also in
attendance at the intimate wedding.
Previously, Brittany revealed that the guests would be taken to a
private location for the ceremony.
"It's a local secret wedding thing. We are going to shuttle people
to a private place," she told Entertainment Tonight in September
(16). "And make it really intimate and special."
Mark and his 29-year-old bride have been splitting their time
between New York and Los Angeles following the dancer's casting as
Frankie Valli in Broadway's Jersey Boys.
Despite being busy with his new role, Mark said he was going to
take the time to enjoy his wedding day.
"Your wedding is something you subconsciously prepare for your
entire life," he said recently to People.com.
"Now it’s finally here and happening. It’s surreal. I just want to
soak it all up because I just know I’m going to click my fingers
and the whole evening will be over and I want to make sure I enjoy
it."
The couple got engaged a day before Thanksgiving last year (15),
and celebrated the holiday this year with a dinner and beach party
with family and friends on Thursday (24Nov16).
