I really look forward to that and embracing the fourth trimester.”
Candice King and Steven Krueger’s dreamy wedding was attended by her two children
After dating for a long time, Candice and Steven tied the knot in April 2026. Even though they had plans of getting married earlier, it got postponed due to the pregnancy. It is worth mentioning that Candice and Steven’s intimate wedding was attended by the former’s two daughters as well. Coming to their outfits, the mom-to-be opted for an ivory wedding dress, whereas her husband, Steven wore a classic black suit. Candice once spoke about her wedding dress and explained:
“Shockingly, there’s not a huge market for wedding dresses that fit over a baby bump. I was quite nervous to find a dress that would make me feel bridal and maternal- and not like the ‘Stay Puft Marshmallow Man’ from Ghostbusters bouncing down the aisle.”
