I've been told that it's because it's easier and cheaper to make the dress without sleeves or straps.
Yes, I heard the same thing. It really is quite a scam, eh? I don't want to derail this thread with a discussion on wedding dresses, but very fit brides like, Michelle Kwan or Tanith, can pull off the strapless gown very nicely. The average bride can't. I heard that wedding photographers hate the look.

According to her Facebook page, Jamie Silverstein got married on Saturday.
They got married in Portland and he teaches yoga in the Portland branch of her business: http://www.thegrinningyogi.com/matt-van-auken

ETA:

Michal Brezina and Danielle Montalbano are engaged - GSD thread: http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/index.php?threads/brezina-is-engaged.95659/

Other engagements mentioned in the same thread:
Anna Cappellini and Ondrej Hotarek (@oubik has posted that "the wedding is planned for June.")
Aliona Savchenko and Bruno Massot (but not to each other) - she is engaged to a British man named Liam Cross.

I believe the next "royal wedding" will be on June 5th - Stefania Berton and Rockne Brubaker. :)

Check post #136 above. :)

First two stories of today's "Inside Edge" blog are about the 2 June 5th weddings: http://web.icenetwork.com/news/2015/06/08/129290114/the-inside-edge-pairs-skaters-say-i-do-in-droves
Meagan Duhamel and Bruno Marcotte were married June 5 at the Reefs resort in Bermuda. The ceremony, in front of a small group of friends and family, took place on the beach. Guests included Duhamel's pairs partner Eric Radford, Mervin Tran and coaches Richard Gauthier and Nick Young.

"We wanted to keep things as small and personal as possible," Duhamel said a few days before the ceremony. "We have 24 guests, just our immediate family.

Some details about the Berton-Brubaker wedding via Rockne B.:
Brubaker's brother, Collin, was the best man; other groomsmen included skaters Ryan Bradley, Jon Nuss, Travis Nuss and Steven Elefante. Evan Bates, Charlie White and David Santee also attended, and joined the other guys in a round of golf the day before the ceremony.

Brubaker said all of Berton's bridesmaids were from Italy, including Lorenza Alessandrini and maid of honor Chiara Balsamini.

Well, whew. I misread an earlier post and thought that Navka had married Putin, and wondered what happened to the former Madame Putin.

Her daughter looks so grown-up now.

Any skaters in the pictures?

:) Anna Semenovich was a bridesmaid as well as Plushenko's wife .In one article was mentioned that the skaters from "Carmen" show could not attend the ceremony because they had to perform but joined the newlyweds and celebrated after the show.It is mentioned that Zhulin was not able to attend due to his schedule but he is happy for her.Navka will go for a month on honeymoon .Meanwhile Drobiazko is going to replace her in the show:)
