Dancing With the Stars pros Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson tied the knot on the coast of Los Angeles on Saturday, April 13, Us Weekly confirms.Chmerkovskiy, 32, and Johnson, 25, said, “I do,” at the Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, in front of guests including former DWTS contestants Adam Rippon, Laurie Hernandez, Normani, Ginger Zee, Nikki Bella and boyfriend Artem Chigvintsev as well as the groom’s brother Maksim Chmerkovskiy and his wife, Peta Murgatroyd. Several of the newlyweds’ fellow dancers from the hit ABC show were also on hand, including Emma Slater and husband Sasha Farberand Witney Carson. The groom wore a classic black tuxedo while the bride wore an elegant fitted gown with sheer sleeves and had her hair in an updo accented with a large headpiece. She carried a bouquet of white flowers. The bridesmaids including DWTS pros Lindsay Arnold and Gaby Diaz wore pale pink floor-length dresses, while “bridesman” Olympic skater Adam Rippon wore a beige suit. One month before getting married, the So You Think You Can Dance season 10 alum admitted she was getting antsy for the wedding. “As [the Dancing With the Stars] tour is coming to an end, the realization that I am getting closer and closer to being married is hitting me,” Johnson captioned a picture of herself wearing a wedding dress on Instagram. “It has been a crazy whirlwind trying to plan my dream day on the road as well as dance my heart for all our beautiful fans at night. I’m forever grateful for these past few months and even more excited for what’s to come.” Days later, Johnson jetted off to Las Vegas to celebrate her bachelorette party with several of her DWTS costars including Carson, Britt Stewart, Hayley Erbert, Arnold and Slater. The Utah native wrote on Instagram: “I have the BEST girlies in the whole wide world. They somehow managed to throw me the most epic bachelorette party on the road… including surprising me by taking me to see @absinthe_vegas and then transforming our bus into a GIRLS ONLY party bus. I feel so grateful to have these beauties in my life!!!!!” Inside Jenna Johnson's Star-Studded Bachelorette Party. The couple got engaged in June 2018 after dating on and off for two years. “I knew the moment I met you, you were the man of my dreams and I wanted to be with you forever,” Johnson captioned a picture of the Ukrainian professional dancer on one knee. “Thank you for making my fairytale come true today! Cannot believe I get to call you my FIANCÉ!!!! #engaged.” Val — whose dancer brother Maks married DWTS costar Murgatroyd in July 2017 — later gushed about being engaged. “It’s fun,” he told Us in September 2018. “I’m enjoying the moment. I’m enjoying celebrating my incredible fiancée. Life is great.”

^^^ They’ve been dating for a while. Weird pairing.
Jenna is a gorgeous girl and could have any dress she wanted and her body would have looked amazing in any dress. Why pick that one? The neckline was awful and the dress looked like it didn’t fit her well, especially the top. I thought her hair and makeup was too severe as well and made her look older than she is. I’ve seen her look so soft and pretty at other events. I was surprised she chose that look.
I was also surprised that Whitney wasn’t a bridesmaid, while Lindsay was. I always thought those three were tight from childhood.

News about the new fall season: --------------------- Dancing With the Stars Mulling Format Changes Ahead of Season 28 By Rebecca Iannucci / May 14 2019, 8:16 AM PDT Ask and you shall receive, Dancing With the Stars fans: Ahead of its 28th season this fall, the competition show plans to make a few “format changes” for its return to the ballroom. During an Upfronts press briefing on Tuesday morning, ABC Entertainment President Karey Burke revealed that “some really fun” changes to the show’s structure are on their way. Burke wasn’t able to offer specifics about the shake-ups, but she said Dancing‘s producers are planning to “surprise and delight the audience in new ways,” while maintaining “the same show that everyone knows and loves.” Though it’s not yet clear if the format changes will apply to Dancing‘s voting structure, its elimination process or another aspect of the show, the adjustments come in the wake of a controversial 27th season. After well-scored frontrunners (including Fuller House‘s Juan Pablo Di Pace and R&B singer Tinashe) were eliminated prematurely, dark horse Bobby Bones ultimately won the Mirrorball trophy, prompting many fans (and us!) to call for a change to the show’s voting system. After his surprising elimination, Di Pace voiced his support for a new voting structure: “Twenty-seven seasons later, maybe it is time for a refresh, a little nip and tuck. Maybe instead of being completely a popularity contest, it could actually be more of a skill contest. But who am I to say? I think the fans’ outrage will probably work for something.” Burke added that Dancing is pursuing “bigger stars” than the show has previously cast, though the full lineup won’t be revealed until late summer. Dancing With the Stars‘ 28th season will premiere this fall in its usual Mondays-at-8 time slot.

A nip-tuck, huh? Bobby Bones mentioned on American Idol at one point that he was probably the worst dancer to have won the show. Yes, a nip-tuck in voting would be a good thing - if they do it right. It will be interesting to see who Cheryl considers "bigger stars". Will they climb out of the Disney, Reality pool and reach for a C lister?

Oh,I thought the person referenced already in that article was the 'Burke' they were referring to -Karey Burke. The next question on my mind was about nepotism!

Sorry. I see the name Burke and I automatically think Cheryl. Guess I didn't read that closely. But, still, how "HIGH" can they go?

Getting bigger stars requires 1) a time commitment they usually don't have, and 2) more money.
I guess if they're casting now for the fall, maybe they can get some bigger stars to clear their schedules. But the money thing could be a problem. I really wonder if the network feels like throwing more money at this aging show.

I read that article on my news feed and loved the responses. That the principal escorted the substitute teacher out the front door while she was still preaching her view says a lot about not letting go even for a few minutes.

Seriously. It was so inappropriate. This little boy is excited to be getting a family and she has to rain on it because of her views? Not cool, lady.

Seriously. It was so inappropriate. This little boy is excited to be getting a family and she has to rain on it because of her views? Not cool, lady. I know! It made me so sad that she would destroy his happy moment like that. Regardless of one's personal views, that is so cruel and insensitive. And meanness aside, it's just not OK to push your views in a public school situation like that. I'm glad the girls went to the principal and that she responded so immediately and forcefully. I had heard about the story, since I live in Utah, too. But there wasn't a picture associated with it when I first saw it, so I couldn't figure out why Louis' picture was associated with the story when I saw it again. I was surprised (and pleased) to find out the the boy was being adopted by Louis and his husband. I'm so happy for all of them that they have found each other. I didn't read that particular article, so it may talk about this, too; but I thought it was so sad that the little boy had had several failed adoptions and was afraid to make a fuss, because he thought it could derail this one. P.S. I did know that Louis was from Utah. So many of the pros are. There's a big ballroom dancing community here.
