Kendall also shared a picture showing three of the Dance Moms moms — Jill Vertes, Gisoni, and Christi Lukasiak — seated together during the ceremony. 

Gisoni posted another image of the same women, along with the proud mother-of-the-bride Kelly Hyland, on the dance floor. "An unforgettable evening!" she commented on the photo.

Florida-based event planner Olive Tree Weddings revealed a look at Brooke and Brian's rehearsal dinner, captioned "the night prior." 

The video showcased tables adorned with vibrant floral designs and fruits, with photos of the bride and groom at each place setting.

Brooke and her new husband first encountered each other in 2021 when Brooke, who was part of the TLC reality show from 2011 to 2014, visited her hometown, Pittsburgh. 

At that period, she was residing in Austin, Texas, and had come back for the holiday season.

"My close friend, who is Brooke’s cousin, was the one who introduced us," Brian told in May 2024. 

"We managed a long-distance relationship for a while before Brooke moved back to Pittsburgh."

He mentioned that their connection grew through their shared passion for traveling, exploring new eateries, and enjoying outdoor activities. "We also have a pet dog named Jack," he added.

Brian asked Brooke to marry him with a 3.25-carat diamond ring in Pittsburgh’s Frick Park in May 2024, with both their families nearby. The couple celebrated their engagement with a cozy family brunch.

They hosted an engagement celebration in August 2024 at the mini-golf venue, Puttery, in Pittsburgh.
