For a skier, summer means training in the gym and skiing between glaciers and other continents, but it also means family and spending time with loved ones.

For many, this more relaxed period, at least with travel, creates the right opportunity to celebrate important life moments such as engagement or the fateful 'yes I do!

The latest news comes from Dave Ryding (GBR) who got married last May and now, together with his new bride, they are impatiently awaiting the arrival of their first son. His wife pregnant at the time, Dave is now impatiently waiting for the arrival of the baby, in the next fews days, at his wife's side.

Obviously the covid and its restrictions impacted the wedding celebrations, and both Elena Curtoni and Johan Clarey, who were already civilly married last year, decided to extend the celebrations this year in fine weather.

In the Italian front, on a day kissed by spring sunshine, Elena Curtoni said yes to share the rest of her life with her partner, the sailer, Niccolò Robello.

And Johan Clarey (FRA) tied the knot with Perrine Faraut.

Having just celebrated her bachelorette party, Paula Moltzan (USA) will soon say yes to her partner in crime Ryan Mooney.

Among his closest friends and family, Thomas Dressen (GER) said “Yes” to the woman of his life last September.

Finally, at the end of July, Albert Popov (BUL) proposed to his girlfriend.
