The Dance Moms alum, 28, tied the knot with Brian Thalman on Saturday, Feb. 21, with a number of her former costars by her side.

Kendall Vertes and Melissa Gisoni both shared photos of the festivities on Instagram over the weekend.

Kendall's snaps included a black-and-white shot of herself posing with Kenzie Ziegler, Chloe Lukasiak and Kalani Hilliker — over which she wrote, "The Thalmans" — and a selfie featuring Chloe, Kalani and Nia Sioux. Yet another photo showed a group with drinks in hand, which Kendall captioned, "Cheers to the newlyweds."

Kendall also shared a photo of three of the Dance Moms mothers — Jill Vertes, Gisoni and Christi Lukasiak — sitting alongside each other in their ceremony seats. Gisoni posted another snapshot of the three women, plus proud mother-of-the-bride Kelly Hyland, on the dance floor. "What an amazing night!" she wrote over the image.

Event planner Olive Tree Weddings in Florida shared a glimpse of Brooke and Brian's rehearsal dinner with the caption, "the night before 🌼🍊🍋." The clip showed round tables decorated with colorful floral arrangements and fruit, as well as pictures of the bride and groom placed at each table setting.

Brooke and her now-husband first met in 2021 when Brooke, who starred in the TLC reality series from 2011 to 2014, was visiting her hometown of Pittsburgh. At the time, she was living in Austin, Texas, and had returned home for the holidays.

"Her cousin, who is my close friend, introduced us to one another," Brian told PEOPLE in May 2024. "We did long distance for a few months before Brooke moved back to Pittsburgh."

He said the pair bonded over their love of travel, trying new restaurants and being active outdoors. "We also have a dog named Jack," he added.

Brian proposed to Brooke with a 3.25-carat diamond ring in Pittsburgh's Frick Park in May 2024, surrounded by the couple's family. The newly engaged couple then celebrated with their families at an intimate brunch.

In August 2024, they hosted an engagement party at the miniature golf venue Puttery in Pittsburgh.

The event's theme was "Tini Found Her Thalman," and the couple and their guests enjoyed a few rounds of golf, as well as light bites and desserts.

In early September 2025, Brooke shared a peek of her bachelorette party on Instagram, chronicling the festivities in Jackson Hole, Wy. She kicked off the weekend by sharing a video of her bachelorette nails and then her travel day.

She then added a video of the bachelorette activities, including "Cabernet & Cowgirls Cozy night in."
Brooke also shared a few photos and videos of herself wearing bridal white as she explored Jackson Hole with her friends.

Earlier this year, the Dance Moms stars reunited once again for Brooke's bridal shower, including sister Paige Hyland, mom Kelly, Kendall, Jill, Melissa and Christi.

Christi shared photos from the gathering on Instagram, showing the women posing together with the bride-to-be, who wore a white dress for the occasion. The post also featured clips of Brooke holding a large bouquet of flowers as she stood next to Brian, and Jill and Kendall dancing as they entered the venue together in fur coats.

"Showering the most beautiful bride-to-be @brookehyland 🤍💍🤍💍🤍 ," Christi wrote in the caption. "The details were gorgeous and I still can’t wrap my head around @kellylhyland being the mother-of-the-bride 🥹."
