“Dancing with the Stars” pro Britt Stewart has found her lifelong partner in every sense of the word.

The celebrated dancer married actor Daniel Durant, her partner from season 31 of the hit show, in a beautiful ranch wedding this past weekend. The couple, both 35, exchanged vows at the Riata Ranch in Santa Margarita, California, surrounded by their closest friends and family—including plenty of familiar faces from the world of entertainment.

Reflecting on the day, Durant shared with PEOPLE, “I could never have imagined what my wedding would be like—it still feels a little like a dream. But it’s real. It’s happening!” Stewart added, “I was never the little girl who dreamed of a fairy-tale wedding. What I wanted was a feeling—an abundance of love connecting everyone there.”

That warmth was felt everywhere, thanks in part to the couple’s high-profile guest list. Judges, hosts, and fellow pros from DWTS showed up in full force. Judge Derek Hough attended with his wife Hayley Erbert, who served as maid of honor. Co-hosts Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro were also there, along with pro dancers Jenna Johnson, Rylee Arnold, Ezra Sosa, Emma Slater, Alan Bersten, Daniella Karagach, Brandon Armstrong, and Witney Carson. Even Stewart’s first partner on the show, Johnny Weir, joined the celebration—as a bridesmaid.

The wedding weekend also included Durant’s CODA co-stars, Marlee Matlin and Troy Kotsur. Festivities began with a welcome party blending “garden party elegance and Italian summer vibes,” complete with pizza and s’mores.

Stewart looked breathtaking in a Vivienne Westwood cape gown with a dramatic train and delicately embroidered veil. Durant complemented her in a classic tuxedo, personalized with Gucci sneakers and a ring that belonged to his late grandfather.

Their emotional vows highlighted the deep connection they share. “What I love most about Britt is her soul—her strength as a leader, her sense of humor. If I fall, I know she’ll be the first to catch me,” Durant said. “I can’t wait to call her my wife… I want everyone to know I’m all hers.”

Stewart echoed his sentiments: “I am the yin to his yang. My soul has been waiting for his. I love that he’s unique in every way and continues to surprise me. I’ll never be bored with him—and I need that. He brings me so much joy, calms my nerves, and feels like home.”

The couple exchanged rings and vows in American Sign Language, with Durant’s childhood interpreter, Doug Boen-Bailey, providing support. The ceremony was officiated by David Kurs, artistic director of Deaf West Theatre, whom Durant admires as a role model and “an amazing family man.”

Food played a central role in the celebration. Field to Table catering designed a personalized menu around Stewart’s allergies and the couple’s favorite foods—from oysters and caviar to sushi and tacos. Dessert included a gluten-free fruit cake, and signature cocktails named after their cats, Hudson and Orlando.

Since meeting on DWTS in 2020—where they finished in fifth place, Stewart’s best result at the time—their relationship has only deepened. They announced their romance on Valentine’s Day 2023 and were engaged by that Christmas. Now, they’re officially married—a perfect next chapter to their love story.
