“Our wedding is very personal and very us,” she says. “We didn’t go for any kind of traditional anything — just what felt right to us.”
“Guy was my grandmother’s godson and grew up dancing at her dance studio,” she says. “He is like a cousin to me. I introduced Justin to him at a dance competition when they were 12 or 13 and they have been best friends ever since.”

Tying the knot was a perfect happy ending for Porter and de Vera, a dancer who has toured withBritney SpearsandMadonna. The two first met years ago at a dance studio, and their longtime friendship turned romantic six years ago.
In July, they were engaged at a David Gray concert at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, with de Vera popping the question during the song “This Year’s Love.” The 1998 track is one the couple considers their song, and what they played during their first dance.
“We have been best friends since and always loved each other,” says Porter. “I’m a bit older than J, but we both went and lived amazing lives until the universe brought us back together.”
