"Dancing in front of millions of people is way easier than that," he said, adding that his bride looked absolutely breathtaking. "I've never seen anything more beautiful in my life," he says. "Karen looked absolutely stunning. "Karen – who wore a stunning Inbal Dror wedding gown – added that she was remarkably stress-free. "When I was getting ready, I said to my make-up artist, 'Is it weird that I'm so calm?' She said the best thing ever, 'You're so calm because you've made the right choice.' And it made me think, 'I have nothing to worry about because I'm going to marry the person I've been in love with since the day we met.'"
