Derek Hough & Hayley Erbert Wrote Personal Vows

According to People magazine, Hough and Erbert exchanged vows they’d written for one another in addition to traditional vows.

After their wedding weekend was over, the newlyweds sat down with the outlet for an interview during which they talked about marriage and how that feels.

“It’s so interesting what a small sort of piece of metal can do to your whole persona and your whole outlook on everything, where all of a sudden it’s sort of like, oh, I have this promise that I carry with me all the time,” Hough told People magazine after tying the knot.

“And to want to be a man to live up to that promise daily for that person and for yourself and for others, it’s a powerful thing. It’s a beautiful thing. So for me, I’m excited to continue to aspire to be that man each and every day for her, for our animals and for our future family,” he added.

Hough and Erbert are heading out on their honeymoon, set to take Italy by storm.

“We’ve never been. I mean, I’ve been for a competition, but that was it. We’ve never experienced it properly. So it’s really great because it’s a place that we’re going to be able to experience together for the first time. And we’re hitting everywhere from Lake Como, Positano, Amalfi Coast, Rome, Tuscany, Florence. We’re hitting it all,” Hough said.

In the time since, Hough has shared photos and videos of he and Erbert’s air travel on their way to their destination. He and Erbert have matching “Mr.” and “Mrs.” passport covers, too.
