Congratulations to Tanith Belbin & Charlie White!

With White's brother-in-law Todd Weishaus officiating, the pair, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, said their "I do's" before 130 friends and family surrounded by greenery inside the enclosed glass Planterra Conservatory in West Bloomfield, not far from the suburban Detroit rink where they first met in 1998.

"She was the most beautiful girl at the rink," says White, 27, who won the 2014 gold medal with skating partner Meryl Davis and then went on Dancing with the Stars. "I think probably every guy had a crush on her."

Together since 2009, the couple celebrated their vows with a dinner of filet mignon and shrimp cremosi, followed by a three-tier vanilla cake layered with raspberry curd and vanilla buttercream.

Belbin, 30, wore an ivory strapless A-Line gown by Modern Trousseu, with a pink ombré skirt and sweetheart neckline. Her maid of honor was fellow retired ice dancer Lauren Fenft, with bridesmaids that included White's three sisters and his skating partner Meryl Davis, all wearing "whatever dress they wanted in any shade of pink," says the bride. "They are too unique to be dressed the same."

Are we in 1955? Unless Tanith Belbin wants to be referred to as Mrs. Charlie White, I think a better congratulations would be to Tanith and Charlie on their wedding.

I like her approach to bridesmaids' dresses, and wish Tanith and Charlie much continued happiness together

Exactly! I read the title for the thread and cringed at the author's choice of names for Tanith and Charlie. I doubt any woman in this day and age wants to be referred to as "Mrs. [husband's name]", let alone someone as well-known (within figure skating circles anyway) as Tanith. I have no idea whether or not she (or he) is planning to change her (or his) last name, but neither person is an appendage of the other.
