The two were engaged in August 2015, and at the time, she described her plans for her dress: “I’d like to show my figure, somewhat — romantic and elegant. I don’t think I want to go super poofy or anything like that. It’s very different for a performer, a ballerina, someone who is on stage a lot and wears big costumes. So it’s not like this is my chance to be that way, because that’s something I do every day, almost. I want to feel like myself — but more beautiful than I do every day.”

We can’t wait to see pictures. Congrats to the happy couple!
