Stewart, a professional dancer and choreographer, shared her joy on Instagram, noting how quickly the year seemed to have passed. “Not sure how one year can fly by so fast! Love you forever @danieldurant,” she wrote, accompanied by a series of ten photos from their wedding day. Durant echoed these sentiments, as both partners expressed gratitude for their shared experiences over the past twelve months.
The couple tied the knot on August 23, 2025, in a beautiful ceremony held at Riata Ranch in Santa Margarita, California. Their wedding was attended by 110 guests, including numerous colleagues from the DWTS family. The couple originally met while competing together on the show’s 31st season in 2022, where their friendship blossomed into a romantic relationship.
In their joint anniversary post, both Stewart and Durant reminisced about their wedding festivities, showcasing the love and support they received from their friends and family. Prominent figures from the dance world commented on their milestone, offering congratulations. Among the well-wishers were fellow DWTS professionals Witney Carson, Daniella Karagach, and Jenna Johnson, all of whom were present on their special day.
The wedding itself was planned by event coordinators Josiah Carr and Justin McGregor from SAMKOMA, who received heartfelt thanks from Stewart. She shared their gratitude on her Instagram Stories, alongside a touching video of the couple hugging their planners. “There aren’t enough words to fully express how grateful we are for @samkoma.world,” she stated. “Our wedding weekend was exactly what we envisioned and, most importantly, felt connected to each other and the nature around us.”
Durant, who is deaf, and Stewart celebrated their uniqueness during their wedding, featuring an emotional ceremony where they exchanged vows in American Sign Language. This special moment was interpreted by Durant’s childhood interpreter, making the occasion even more intimate. Reflecting on their wedding vision, Stewart had previously described it as a celebration of their profound love, highlighting the significance of including elements that represented both their cultures and communities.
In an interview on The Squeeze podcast, the couple further elaborated on their wedding day, describing it as “magical” and “a dream.” Stewart remarked, “I think it was special because we’re two very different people. But also our souls, I feel like, are very much… we’re soulmates.” The union brought together their respective friends and community members, representing a beautiful blend of their two worlds — Stewart as a dancer and Durant as an actor and performer.
Durant also shared his thoughts on their special day, expressing that words failed to capture the essence of the experience. “I think you just had to be there yourself to experience that moment,” he reflected, clearly still in awe of the memory.
As they celebrate their first year of marriage, both Stewart and Durant continue to inspire many through their love story, one that reflects the beauty of diversity and shared passions. With a shared future ahead of them, the couple’s relationship serves as a compelling narrative of love, resilience, and community bonds.
