Between Broadway and prime time, the wedding can wait.
The stars have aligned so well for Dancing With the Stars lovebirds Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, their nuptials have been pushed to the side. The ridiculously hot couple make their Broadway debut tomorrow in Burn the Floor, a dance revue that gives ballroom a modern, international spin. After that, they're off to the races for season nine of DWTS.
At this rate, is the wedding ever going to happen?
"The only thing that we've decided on is next year in June," Karina told E! News today at a preview event for the show. "Then we were supposed to pick the place, but we've never actually had the time to go further."
"We don't plan," Maks said. "We're here 14 hours a day. This is our lives right now. It's very important to us. It's a huge deal for everybody involved."
In addition to picking a month and hiring a wedding planner, they have discussed one element of their nuptials: the first performance.
While Karina told E!'s own Marc Malkin several months after their New Year's Eve engagement that Maks would be singing Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You," they've since changed their tune. According to the bride-to-be, he'll be crooning Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful."
However, we're not so sure the groom is on board.
"I don't sing," the tough guy insisted.
"He's about a solid 3 [out of 10]," his wife-to-be said of his vocal skills.
As for checking actual things that will happen at the wedding off their to-do list, the couple feels no pressure.
"[Being on Broadway] is amazing and we love doing it, so we don't feel like we're messing out on the wedding dress fittings," Karina says. "As long as we're together, tying the knot is a plus. It's something extra."
