‘[There’s] so, so much pressure.I literally was telling Artem the other day, I go, “You need to start to choreograph it now because I want all summer to learn it so when we go in and do it, I know it like that, on the back of my hand. Easy.” But I need to start now,’ Nikki said.
The couple have picked the song they will dance to, Can’t Help Falling In Love, originally performed by Elvis Presley.
Nikki added that her and Artem, ‘really’ like the version of the song sung by Haley Reinhart, and hope she will be available to sing the song to them live.

Nikki and Artem welcomed their first child Matteo in late July 2020, with Nikki revealing another reason the nuptials were delayed.
‘Once I had Matteo and I started to raise him, I was like, when I say “I do,” I want to make sure it’s forever,’ she said.
‘I know there are things that Artem wants too — like he really wants his parents [who live in Russia] there — but also, overall, I don’t want my son to go through a divorce,’ she said.
