During the 14th season of Dancing with the Stars, we fell in love with Katherine Jenkins. We watched her each week and used all our phones and email addresses to cast our votes for her. We even recruited friends and family members to vote for her as well. We were heartbroken when she came in second place.
When Katherine posted on Twitter that she would be in Salt Lake City to sing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, we did everything we could to get tickets. We were fortunate to find tickets, even though the show was scheduled for a night we were out of town (still in Calgary). Without thinking twice, we paid to fly home early!
After spending a couple hours at the mall and Deseret Industries looking for skirts, we were off to the show! There were 20,000 people in attendance and we were thrilled to have our balcony seats.
It was like a dream come true to see Katherine perform in person. She has an amazing voice and a gracious personality. Mark Ballas was there too and they danced one number. Many people didn’t realize, but Derek Hough was also in the audience! He was seated with his father and Mark’s mother.
After the show, we ran from the auditorium out onto the streets where we worked our way through the crowd to Deseret Book where Katherine was scheduled to sign her new CD! We were about 20 people back in line, waiting patiently with a stack of CDs for Katherine to arrive. Meeting her was amazing. She is a very gracious and kind individual, not to mention absolutely stunning. It was certainly a night to remember.
