On Friday, November 25th, Dancing With the Stars' pro Mark Ballas, currently making his Broadway debut as Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys, wed fiancé BC Jean. HAIRSPRAY LIVE star and fellow DWTS' pro Derek Hough served as best man. Check out a photo from the happy occasion above!

Hough turned to Instagram yesterday to share a sweet message for his long time friend: "Such an honor to be the best man at my brothers wedding. Witnessing their love be sealed under a beautiful Oak tree in front of family friends was such a special moment. Like the tree May you Stand together tall and proud. May you always Go out on a limb for one another. To Stay grounded and dig your roots in deep so that you may weather any storm . And always continue to grow, stronger and higher reaching towards the heavens . And to always enjoy the view . Love you two"

Ballas, 30, and Jean, 29, exchanged vows in a ceremony held in Malibu, California on Friday. According to ET, fellow DWTS cast members in attendance included Hough's sister Julianne, Cheryl Burke and newly engaged couple Emma Slater and Sasha Farber.

"It's a local SECRET WEDDING thing. We are going to shuttle people to a private place," Jean told ET about the wedding plans back in September. "And make it really intimate and special." Added Ballas, "Kind of one place, but [the guests] are going to end up at another," Ballas said. "No snapchat, no Instagrams, no phones. We want everyone to just be there."

Congratulations to the happy couple!
