When it comes to his first dance, Joey Graziadei is calling in the pros, literally. “The Bachelor” alum and “Dancing With the Stars” champion shared that Jenna Johnson and Val Chmerkovskiy are teaming up to choreograph his and Kelsey Anderson’s wedding routine, and fans are already swooning over the idea.
‘Dancing With the Stars’ Pros to the Rescue
While on a TikTok Live session, Graziadei, 30, and pro dancer Johnson, 31, who won the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy during “DWTS” season 33, were taking questions from fans. One fan asked Johnson in the chat, “Are you going to choreograph Joey and Kelsey’s first dance?
Johnson covered her heart with her hands, instantly replying, “I would be honored to.”
This doesn’t seem like it’s the first time this idea has been mentioned. Graziadei chimed in, saying it’s already “locked” in.
In fact, the “Dancing With the Stars” winner said that Johnson’s husband, Val Chmerkovskiy, would also be helping choreograph the special dance. Graziadei said, “Her and Val are going to make sure that we look as good as we can.”
Some Nerve-Wracking Wedding Guests
The conversation continued, as Johnson gushed over the bride-to-be. Johnson said, “Anything for my queen, Kelsey. I can’t wait to see her do a little waltz in a wedding dress! I’ll cry.”
Then, Graziadei confirmed that not only will Johnson and Chmerkovskiy be choreographers for their dance, but the “Dancing With the Stars” pros will also be guests at the actual wedding. However, he did admit that it would be nerve-wracking having the couple at the wedding, since they would be able to spot any mistakes during that first dance.
“I think it’s going to be funny because you’re going to be there and watching it, and I know you and Val are gonna be nervous to see it, and we’re going to be nervous to not mess it up,” Graziadei said.
Johnson chimed in, “No! I’ll be so happy.”
A Long Engagement
Graziadei and Anderson met and fell in love during season 28 of “The Bachelor.” During the season finale, Joey got down on one knee and proposed to Kelsey.
The couple is now in the early stages of wedding planning. They have previously expressed that they wanted a long engagement, according to PEOPLE.
That seems like it would be fine by the first dance choreographers. They are busy working on the current season of “Dancing With the Stars.” Val is partnered with influencer Alix Earle, and they happen to be one of the top couples this season.
Meanwhile, Johnson and her partner, actor and musician Corey Feldman, were one of the first two couples eliminated from the show during week 2.
