Renowned professional ballroom dancer Koko Iwasaki, has recently asked fellow Dancing With The Stars pro Peta Murgatroyd to be her bridesmaid. The two dancers have been friends for several years and have shared the stage on numerous occasions. However, this time, they’ll be sharing a walk down the aisle at Iwasaki’s wedding.


Peta Murgatroyd in Tears After Koko Iwasaki Asked Her to be a Bridesmaid

The news of Iwasaki’s upcoming wedding has been met with excitement from fans of both dancers. Literally everyone is eager to see the two perform together on stage once again. Iwasaki and her fiancé Kiki Nyemchek’s wedding is turning out to be one of the most awaited events this year.

Murgatroyd posted a video of herself opening a box from Iwasaki on her Instagram stories. Inside were several styled candles, a handmade glass, and a handwritten invitation that read, “Will you be my bridesmaid?”

“Don’t make me cry right now. Oh my god, you’re gonna make me cry! Oh my god, I love you so much,” Murgatroyd said.


Murgatroyd was overcome with joy and happiness and she tearily embraced Iwasaki as she accepted. The friendship between Iwasaki and Murgatroyd has been well-documented over the years, with both dancers often sharing photos and videos of themselves together on social media. It was no surprise, then, when Iwasaki asked Murgatroyd to be her bridesmaid.

The Couple Had an Epic Engagement Celebration

The soon-to-be-married couple had an unforgettable engagement party at the end of January. Iwasaki and her friends posted dozens of images and videos from their New York City engagement celebration.

“Still feeling the high of celebrating love in a room full of friends who are basically family” Iwasaki said. “But in all seriousness, I didn’t really have family gatherings growing up because it’s just me, my parents and my brother, so this is all really exciting for me!”


Iwasaki and Nyemchek’s engagement party was a truly memorable and remarkable event. The engagement party was not just a celebration of the couple’s love for each other, but also a recognition of their achievements in the dance industry. Both Iwasaki and Nyemchek have made significant contributions to the art form. Their talent and dedication have earned them respect and admiration from their peers.
