“Dancing with the Stars” professional dancers Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd wed in a fairy-tale Conservative Jewish wedding ceremony one year ago on Long Island. But on the first anniversary of their big day, Chmerkovskiy revealed that the couple officially married at City Hall prior to their 300 person Jewish wedding.
Chmerkovskiy, a Jewish Latin-ballroom dance champion, took to Instagram to celebrate one year of marriage to fellow professional dancer Murgatroyd. He uploaded a video of the couple reciting vows at City Hall just days before their glamorous wedding one year ago.
Whilst we may not be able to have the Disney-esque wedding that the couple shared, we can all aspire to the idyllic life of true love that this couple seemingly have. Whether it be their ability to work together, currently on a dance tour alongside Chmerkovskiy’s brother Val Chmerkovskiy, or their son Shai (proudly an Israeli name,) the couple seem to have it all. We look forward to following their fairy-tale life into the future.

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
