How it unfolded
As the sun began to set on April 4, 2026, the serene atmosphere of The Chapel at High Point Farm in Tennessee was filled with love and anticipation. This was the day that marked a significant milestone for actors Steven Krueger and Candice King, who had decided to take a momentous step in their relationship.
Just a couple of months earlier, in February 2026, the couple had tied the knot in a small elopement-style ceremony. Initially, they had envisioned a larger celebration in Nashville, but the excitement of impending parenthood led them to opt for a more intimate gathering. “We decided to have a small elopement-style weekend in Nashville with just our immediate families, and save the bigger celebration for sometime next year,” Candice shared, reflecting on their decision.
The couple’s journey began in the world of television, where they first crossed paths while working together on the popular series, The Originals. Their chemistry blossomed into a romance that captivated fans, especially when they made their relationship Instagram official in December 2023. It was a moment that marked the beginning of a new chapter in both their lives.
In May 2025, just a day after Candice’s 38th birthday, Steven proposed to her in their beloved 100-year-old house in Nashville. The proposal was a heartfelt moment that solidified their commitment to each other. “I love that he asked me to marry him in what has become our 100-year-old house here in Nashville,” Candice recalled, cherishing the memory of that special day.
As they prepared for their wedding, the couple was also excitedly awaiting the arrival of their first child together. This new addition to their family added a layer of joy and urgency to their plans. Candice, who has two daughters from her previous marriage to Joe King, was thrilled to expand her family with Steven.
The wedding itself was a quaint affair, attended by just 15 close family members, including Candice’s daughters and Steven’s nieces. The couple focused on the essentials, ensuring that their day was filled with love and meaningful moments. “The most stressful part was making sure the family felt taken care of and could get from point A to point B – which is true whether you’re eloping with 15 guests or managing a crowd of 200,” Candice explained, highlighting the importance of family in their lives.
As they exchanged vows, the couple felt a profound sense of happiness and fulfillment. Steven expressed his joy, stating, “We were ecstatic with how it all came together. We focused on the essential trifecta: photos, flowers, and food.” Their wedding was not just a celebration of their love, but also a testament to the importance of family and the bonds that tie them together.
Now, as they embark on this new journey as a married couple and soon-to-be parents, Steven Krueger and Candice King stand as a testament to love, resilience, and the beauty of family. Their story is a reminder that sometimes, the most meaningful moments are those shared with loved ones in the simplest of settings.
