Hollywood in Love: Britt Stewart & Daniel Durant Tie the Knot with Star-Studded Guests

SPOILER ALERT!

Get ready for the most epic love story of the year! Dancing With the Stars pro Britt Stewart and CODA actor Daniel Durant are officially husband and wife after a fairytale wedding that will leave you breathless!

The 35-year-old power couple tied the knot on August 23rd in Santa Margarita, California, surrounded by an A-list guest list that read like a Who's Who of Hollywood royalty. And we're not just talking about any ordinary celebrities – we're talking about DWTS alums and friends who have known these two lovebirds for years!

The couple, both 35, tied the knot on Saturday, August 23, in Santa Margarita, California , where the guest list looked like a DWTS reunion

Derek Hough and his wife Hayley Erbert were front and center, with Erbert doubling as Stewart's maid of honor (talk about a multitasking queen!). But they weren't the only ones who brought their A-game – Julianne Hough, Alfonso Ribeiro, Jenna Johnson, Rylee Arnold, Ezra Sosa, Emma Slater, Alan Bersten, Daniella Karagach, Brandon Armstrong, and Witney Carson all came out to support these two lovebirds.

And in a nod to the power of friendship, Stewart's former season 29 partner Johnny Weir made a special appearance as a bridesmaid (because who wouldn't want to be part of this fairytale?). Meanwhile, Durant's CODA family – including Oscar winners Troy Kotsur and Marlee Matlin – brought their own brand of Hollywood glamour to the party.

But what really made this wedding stand out was the way these two lovebirds incorporated their unique love story into every detail. They shared a private first look before the ceremony, exchanging James Allen bands (because who doesn't love a good sparkler?) and signing their vows in American Sign Language – a touching nod to Durant's deaf heritage.

"I never could imagine what my wedding would be like and it still feels a little bit like a dream," Durant gushed to People. "But it's real. It's happening!" Stewart added, "I was never the little girl that had big dreams of a fairy-tale wedding. So when I describe our wedding, I want it to feel like an abundance of love connecting everyone there!"

The couple got engaged just over a year ago, in December 2023, after their chemistry on season 31 of DWTS sparked romance off-screen. "We danced our way into the semifinals before finishing in fifth place," Stewart reminisced, "but our chemistry outlasted the competition – and now we're married!"

The proposal was just as romantic – Durant popped the question during a Christmas Day hike in Lake Arrowhead, California, surrounded by their families (because what's more magical than that?). And when he got down on one knee and asked for Stewart's hand in marriage, she was overwhelmed with joy.

"It felt like magic, but at the same time, it felt right and normal," Stewart said. "We were both emotional, overwhelmed with joy and at peace knowing that this would eventually be part of our story."

And now, these two lovebirds are officially married – surrounded by their friends, family, and a whole lot of love. We can't wait to see what the future holds for this adorable couple!
