He may be an undeniable out on the dance floor, but when it comes to wedding planning, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, is terrified. According to the latest gossip news updates, the former Dancing with the Stars pro is going to be letting his fiancé and fellow reality TV champ, Peta Murgatoyd, do all the planning going into their big day. Perhaps, it's that dedication to self that Petra first bristled at upon meeting Maksim. During a recent interview the New Zealander native explained that she didn't much like her boyfriend when she first met him -- thinking him too arrogant.
Although he is used to leading on Dancing with the Stars, Maksim Chmerkovskiy is now ready to let his soon-to-be bride, Peta Murgatoyd, make all the major calls henceforth.
During a recent interview with People, Maksim explained that not only will he not be planning the wedding, he doesn't expect to do any more decision making of his own going into the future:
"I'm just going on record -- this is the biggest record I can go on -- and saying that I have zero to do with planning anything for the rest of our lives together.
"I'm just showing up where I'm told. This is where I end."
To hear Peta tell it, it might be best if she was left in change of things, being that she doesn't always like the way Maksim handles himself.
The 29-year-old Kiwi admitted that when she first met Maksim back in 2009 while they were both cast in the Broadway production of Burn the Floor, she didn't really like him:
"I thought he was arrogant.
"I learned to like him because I found out he wasn't that arrogant...He was really generous to the entire cast, and our friendship grew and grew."
What do you think about Maksim's taking a backseat going into his marriage to Peta Murgatoyd?
Is that a smart attitude to have if you want things to last forever?
Or, is Chmerkovskiy doing both himself and his fiancé a disservice by not being more involved?
Let us hear what you have to say about him in the comment field below.
