The GMA star, 41, posted a series of pictures on Instagram from the wedding of Robin, 62, and her wife Amber Laign.
In the first of six photosWhit posed with his wife Andrea Fuji.
He looked dapper in a dark blue suit with a white shirt underneath.
For her part, Andrea posed in a white dress with floral details.
Whit also shared videos of Robin and Amber hitting the dance floor as wives for the first time, a picture alongside his co-stars, and another video that seemed to explain how he was injured at the wedding.
In the clip, the TV personality was seen hitting the dance floor with Gio Benitez and other revelers.
He did all kinds of maneuvers and apparently overstepped the boundaries a little too far.
In his caption, Whit referenced his dilemma on the dance floor, saying, “Pure magic!! An incredible evening celebrating @robinrobertsgma and @amberita1227 at their wedding reception.”
“The atmosphere was intimate, electric and full of love! I’m a little late with this post…I watched the videos…and iced my knee!!”
His caption ended with: “The dance floor was [fire]!”
PROFESSIONAL MOVES
Fans in the comments seemed impressed with Whit’s moves, hinting at a possible career move for the star.
One fan wrote: “Someone get this guy on DWTS.”
“Whit! This has only made our family love you even more – I think you should start your GMA day dancing in yours [desk] and maybe out too! And…I think you definitely need to be on Dancing With the Stars.
A third commenter suggested: “They need to have a dance off show Whit!” I also enjoyed meeting your wife.”
“DWTS newest star,” someone else wrote.
A fifth fan demanded: “You need to be on Dancing With the Stars nowwwwwww.”
WHAT IS PAIN
A video from the special day revealed Whit’s injury.
During a dance-off with Robin’s nephew Jeremiah, he was seen shaking his butt and moving his hips.
Robin posted a video of Whit online and shared a clip that began with Jeremiah inviting Whit into the middle of a circle of guests.
Whit obeyed, jumping into the middle and sticking his butt out as the music played.
After shaking his butt, the ABC World News weekend correspondent broke into the running man before making a hopping motion with Jeremiah.
The crowd cheered and shouted excitedly as the dance battle continued.
Robin captioned the post: “Epic dance dance between my nephew Jeremiah and…Whit Johnson!”
White revealed in the comments that he paid the price for dancing.
“I’ve been icing my knee for 48 hours now!!” He confessed, adding: “Truly a beautiful wedding celebration full of love.”
Robin and Amber tied the knot at a lavish but intimate reception on Friday.
Several of Robin’s GMA colleagues, including Al Roker, 69; Lara Spencer, 54; Dr. Jen Ashton, 54; and Ginger Zee, 42, were invited.
