Engagements & Weddings in the figure skating world, 2022 onwards

[MsZem]

I think part of it is also the wedding-industrial complex that tells every couple, it's not a REAL wedding unless it's big and elaborate.

Just wait, in a year or two Mirai will post somewhere about how she actually got married with only her son and a couple of flamingoes as witnesses.

She just posted a PBP (by the month) of her pregnancy, maybe a wedding PBP will drop soon.

A closer look at Madison's wedding dress: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C80IhYAR9eB/?igsh=MWlscmI5ZGowMmpvbQ==

her dress is just scrumptious - about my only nitpick is the split side-seam on the skirt on both sides - the skirt is so voluminous that it's hard to see that effect and I think it's rather unnecessary when it's all said and done.

I think there were also pockets in the dress! I saw a photo where it looked like Madi had her hand in her pocket

I was surprised when Piper Gilles announced she and her hubby were having a second wedding, given how recent the first wedding was. My first thought was, why? My second was "my gawd, the expense!"

Piper really seems to be enjoying all the second wedding preparations. I'm glad. I want her to get her money's worth!

I think Piper's first wedding was small so her husband's grandmother could attend. A 2nd larger wedding was always the plan but her ovarian surgery and subsequent cancer diagnosis put the plans on hold.

Chock's veil is gorgeous and the flowers are amazing.

Not loving the skirt on the dress. It feels too full and heavy. The bodice is really lovely.

 

[ballettmaus]

I like the simplicity of Chock's dress. The skirt/waist is a tad bit high for me but other than that, I find it absolutely beautiful. I also think that it was the perfect choice for the veil.

Vanessa James got married recently too.

Mae-Berenice had some nice pics of Vanessa in her dress, that gave a closer look, but I think they expired. Vanessa looks beautiful.

Yes the link above expires also. Hopefully someone will post on their regular instagram account soon.

I love Vanessa’s dress.

Met her at Skate America in Las Vegas when we shared athe same table at a restaurant. She was lovely.

Chocks dress is perfect. And she wears the dress, it isn't wearing her, which is all too rare with wedding dresses. I don't comment a lot of these things but she is a woman who knows herself and her style is impeccable.

 

[Wyliefan]

Vanessa looks lovely. I think that's the first strapless skater wedding dress we've seen so far this summer, which is quite something considering that was almost the only kind you could find not so long ago!

She does look lovely and happy. That dress fit her perfectly.

Is that a new slang word for pictures? I can't keep up with the slang these days.

 

[Coco]

I fixed it. Switched from Motorola to Samsung and this keyboard is ... an experience.

 

[skategal]

Vanessa had two dresses as well.

The more formal strapless one for the church and this one.

Does anyone have access to this NY Times article about Madi and Evan's wedding and would be willing to share?

In Sync on the Ice and Off

Madison Chock and Evan Bates found chemistry when she picked him to be her ice dance partner in 2011. Then they found even more.

That is an exceptionally expansive article for the NYT vows column.

Madison really should go to work as a designer when she retires. There are so many skaters who could benefit from her sense of style. Or non-skaters for that matter.

I can't think of any big miss for her except her Little Mermaid goes Ballroom Dancing dress but it was early days!

Good article, though I was a bit amused to learn that Les Miserables is a dramatic love story.

 

[ballettmaus]

I love how Evan chose the proposal date!

Vows articles tend to be longer, it's the mini-vows ones that are short

Photos from Madi and Evan’s wedding welcome party. Madi designed her dress, and it was made by Mathieu Caron.
