Sadly, I know next to nothing about Isabella Tobias as a figure skater, *but* ....

her wedding made the NY Times Sunday Styles; the Olympic gold medal of wedding reporting.

Well, it's hardly surprising given that:
The bride’s father is the president of Israel A. Englander and Company, a New York-based firm that provides derivatives brokerage services to institutional customers in the United States.

The groom’s father is the president and chief executive of the Dallas Stars of the N.H.L. The groom is the maternal grandson of Marian Ilitch of Bingham Farms, Mich., and the late Mike Ilitch. His grandmother owns the Detroit Tigers of Major League Baseball and the Red Wings and is the founder of Little Caesars Pizza.

Not to mention that Tobias is an Olympian and had to learn Lithuanian to become one, so she's interesting (and accomplished) in her own right.

Congrats to all the skating newlyweds - Monko and Khaliavin, too!

Congrats to Isabella and her groom! Lots of distinguished family connections re the Tobias/Lites marriage pairing. Pizza enterprises, hockey and baseball team ownerships. The nuptials must be featured in Detroit and Dallas media outlets as well! :)

Here are some better closeups of Isabella and her now husband, Samuel Lites:

But they still had Little Caesars Pizza at the reception :glamor:

(For those who don't have it in their area, Little Caesar's was founded by the groom's family and is known for really cheap pizza).

One of the skater guests had a pic of the menu on their instagram stories and Little Caesars Pizza and some fancy sounding burgers were available as the late night snack. They still had filet mignon and other fancy sounding dishes as their entree choices though ;)

Yagudin was saying, that he is ready to marry his Tanya once again. So... they've done it. :) And they are still ready to do it again. Maybe once a year will do?
Keep smiling!!! :)

from the article:

We ask to remember any features for which they are ready to kill each other, and they both start to think. Tanya is the first who answers: "He needs to leave the house in the last second! I say, that hurrying after a plane is nice and funny, when there are two of us. Yet when we have a basket, a box, five bags, two kids and a dog, it is awful! Everything else about my husband is nice. He is perfect". Lyosha [Yagudin] shrugs his shoulders. "Did I say, that I am married an ideal woman?" - Yagudin smiles - "Tanya is very strong, but she makes concessions. Her self is not the main thing for her, the main thing is our family, peace. She succeeded to build absolutely comfortable conditions. Look: we are together 24 hours a day when we have a rest, and nearly all the time we spend in the house. I don't want to run to the sea and to swim there alone, because Tanya won't go: she can't swim. Sitting together with daughters at home is an ideal rest for us".

The Hernder Estate Winery is such a gorgeous setting for a wedding! Dylan Moscovitch was the best man and Terra Findlay (pair skater turned ice dancer turned Skate Canada facebook/livestream interviewer) was a bridesmaid. So nice to see Lubov and Pchiddy were there along with Shawn Sawyer and his husband.

Shawn is married?
 
IFS FB page recently posted a pic of Romain Hagenauer and Jamal Othman (2009 Swiss Champion) who were married this past weekend :)
 
^^ In addition to Haguenauer & Othman nuptials, the IFS FB site also mentions Bryce Davison's wedding to Michele Moore. Here are links: https://www.facebook.com/IFSmagazine/ main page

Wow, how lovely! Such a wonderful idea to take wedding photos with such beautiful scenery as a backdrop. The gorgeous scenery enhances the stunning beauty of this couple. Ksenia & Kirill seem so connected and deeply passionate in these photos. What a blessing to share such love and trust! Apparently, they took the time to shoot pictures in that location until the sun went down. :cool:

^^ Thanks, indeed I did see those Instagram pics of Davison/Moore (they are fantastic!) as I was posting the IFS links. :) That's why I said the IFS FB page also mentioned the Davison/Moore nuptials. The picture posted by IFS FB is in addition to the other lovely photos shared on Instagram by friends.

Apparently, it was low-key. Or perhaps it was mentioned earlier on social media? I can imagine that sometimes couples do not want all the social media fanfare.
 
 
Here's a fun video I came across on Youtube of Tiffany Vise's and Don Baldwin's wedding dance: :)

And they also used to skate pairs together:

Unusual how they had to compensate with the choreo because they jumped and spun in different directions
