Olympians on ice for golden wedding
Olympic champions Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo of China wed Saturday in a perfect setting - on the ice.
Surrounded by fellow Olympians (including Yevgeny Plushenko, Johnny Weir, Stephane Lambiel, Aleksei Yagudin, Joannie Rochette, and Mao Asada) and thousands of fans, China's golden duo wed during the show "Artistry on Ice" at Beijing's Capital Gymnasium.
While Shen and Zhao were legally married in 2007, they postponed a public ceremony and reception until after the 2010 Olympics.
After the vows, the vibe changed dramatically with Weir's rendition of Lady Gaga's "Poker Face."
"So many of my fans want me to perform ‘Poker Face' in China," Weir told CNN.
Shen and Zhao closed the show/wedding with a performance to "Turandot."
