Former ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Pro Derek Hough Teases ‘Surprises’ At Julianne Hough’s Wedding

Here comes the bride! Julianne Hough’s less than two weeks away from marrying fiancé Brooks Laich.

While she’s been tight-lipped about what her big day will be like, brother Derek Hough has nothing to hide. The former “Dancing With the Stars” pro opened up about his sister’s big day in an interview with ET Online. He revealed plans to deliver “a little speech” at the wedding, adding that there’ll be a number of “surprises” on the big day.

“There’s always surprises with my family that aren’t planned, so there [will be] plenty of surprises,” he said.

Julianne, 28, and Laich are set to walk down the aisle on the same day as “DWTS” pros Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd. Derek told ET it shouldn’t affect either party’s guest list too much, as they run in different circles. It’s unclear which members of the “DWTS” cast will be at which wedding.

“We have different friends [and] different groups,” the 32-year-old dancer said.

Julianne hasn’t shared many details about her wedding plans. In March, she told Entertainment Tonight she wanted EDM artist Kygo to perform during her big day. Whether he makes it or not, she plans to keep the music playing uninterrupted.

“There’s [going to be] no speeches,” she said. “We’re just gonna dance from like, 10 to 10.”

At the time, the bride-to-be had just celebrated her bachelorette party with friends. She spent the day with close friends, including actress Nina Dobrev and stylist Anita Patrickson. In a photo on Instagram, Julianne’s gal pals showed off their stunt skills, posing on the ship’s stern.

The party kicked off in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on March 2. Julianne invited a large group of gal pals, many of whom were her “Grease: Live” co-stars.

Months prior, Julianne revealed a bit more about her wedding plans. In December 2016, she told Us Weekly, she and Laich were “totally behind” on their planning. The pair initially thought they’d be done planning in a year, but decided to take a little more time to iron out the details. She had, however, decided on what the overall vibe of her wedding would be.

“It will probably be outdoors because we’re such outdoorsy people, so I want it to smell woodsy, fresh with florals and campfire-esque,” she said.

At the time, the “Daincing With The Stars” judge had been preparing for her big day in less conventional ways. In November, she posted a photo from behind-the-scenes at the American Music Awards. In it, she showed off her attempt at using the bathroom while wearing a large ball gown, joking that she was “preppin’ for the wedding’.”

Julianne and Laich’s lax approach to wedding planning sparked some rumors about the status of their relationship. At one point, reports surfaced that the wedding had been called off. The “DWTS” judge set the record straight in an interview with ET, revealing that a date had been set.

Julianne was clear throughout the process about her desire to just enjoy this time of her life. During the 2016 Emmy nominees reception, she told E! Online she and her future hubby were determined to just enjoy the ride. The “DWTS” judge said the pair wanted to keep it “fun” and avoid any undue pressure.

“It’s fun, but we’re still just enjoying the process of being engaged because we’re never going to be here again,” she said. “We kind of started to plan and we’re like, ‘Eh! Let’s just enjoy it instead and not feel pressured to start planning already.’ So we’re just picking up little tidbits here and there but not really focusing on it too hardcore.”
