You may never have heard of Tiler Peck and Robert Fairchild, but their weekend nuptials were the Royal Wedding of the ballet world – and their story is the fairytale you’d expect.<\/p>\n

Tiler and Robert are principal dancers at the New York City Ballet<\/a>, which places them amongst the top 100 ballet dancers in the world.<\/p>\n Tiler Peck and Robert Fairchild on stage. Image: Andrea Mohin\/The New York Times\n

The gorgeous couple’s story is as romantic as anything they dance on stage. They first met at a a jazz dance class when he was 13 and she was 11, then bumped into each other along the way at various dance schools.<\/p>\n

But it wasn’t until the two of them ended up at the prestigious NYCB, dancing some of ballet’s most romantic roles, that the sparks flew both onstage and off.<\/p>\n

“Top be partners on stage is great,” says Tiler. “We already have so much chemistry that it just feels so natural.”<\/p>\n

Tiler and Robert became engaged in mid 2013, after Robert organised a fake photo shoot atop Paris’ ancient church,, Sacre Coeur, where he dropped to one knee and popped the big questions.<\/p>\n

Tiler says she said, ‘Yes!’ as soon as she realised what was happening and even before Robert had a chance to ask!<\/p>\n

Many of their fellow Company members attended their intimate wedding, posting pictures on Twitter and Instagram.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Tiler and Robert!<\/p>\n
