The 2 Special Reasons Why Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich Got Married in Idaho

By now you've probably already seen all the gorgeous photos from Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich's romantic Idaho wedding, but what you might not know is that the couple didn't just choose their venue out of a magazine. No, in fact, Lake Coeur d'Alene actually holds special significance for Julianne and Brooks. The Dancing With the Stars judge spent most of her Summers there growing up, and when she introduced the NHL player to it, "he fell in love."

In a recent interview with People, Julianne explained the significance behind the lake, saying, "We knew this was where we wanted to raise our family and grow old together. It just felt right to be married here." It was also really important to the pair that the wedding festivities were a mix of love and nature. "Julianne and I are very adventurous and free, and wanted the setting to be in nature," Brooks said. Now that the two are officially husband and wife, they are enjoying their newlywed bliss in an unknown tropical location, resulting in even more envy-inducing moments.
