Two-time world figure skating champion Evgenia Medvedeva and choreographer Ildar Gaynutdinov have officially become husband and wife! The main event in their lives took place on August 29 at The Ritz-Carlton in Moscow, where numerous guests gathered.

The couple had been preparing for this day for several months. Guests are already sharing the first shots from the celebration on social media, and, judging by the pictures, the organizers chose a dramatic aesthetic: no ice, only velvet, rich greenery, noble burgundy, and cream shades. The hall is decorated with fresh flowers, and the interior resembles the scenery of an expensive British film. The invited guests strictly adhere to the dress code, and the bridesmaids in delicate pink dresses look like heroines from a socialite fairy tale.

The main intrigue of the evening is Zhenya's wedding attire. The figure skater kept it a secret for a long time, hiding photos in an encrypted folder so that Ildar would definitely not see the dress before the ceremony. Medvedeva tried on dozens of outfits in different boutiques, but the spark ignited only when her mother — her strictest judge — briefly nodded: "That's the one." While the details of the cut are not yet revealed, it is known that the dress is snow-white, floor-length, and, as the bride herself put it, "just me." A second, lighter look for dancing and cutting the cake was prepared together with a stylist.

The couple's official registration took place in advance, without unnecessary pomp — they dedicated today to a heartfelt celebration. Although Medvedeva and Gaynutdinov initially wanted an intimate evening for about fifty people, the guest list grew to over a hundred: too many people could not be left uninvited, given their history. Among the first celebrities spotted was with his youngest son, Leva.

The organizers prepared an unusual interactive experience: each guest can create their own fragrance. The menu is also impressive: salmon and tuna tartare, beef cheeks in red wine, dorado with artichokes, and refreshing lime sorbet — luxurious, but without excessive pomp. The bride is radiant, and in her hands, instead of classic peonies, there is a bold composition with a red lily. The choice is symbolic: the couple's romance developed just as brightly and unconventionally.

They met on the "Star Dances" project, where they argued for hours about every movement, and then a casual coffee conversation grew into something more. At first, the date bothered the lovers — they wanted August 7, but due to the holiday season, they postponed it to the 29th. Ildar, who loves odd numbers, clearly did not lose out.

"We don't want to turn the wedding into a show. We just want to truly feel ourselves at it," Medvedeva said. Judging by the first shots, they are succeeding. The lovers promise more details about the wedding — about the ring, the cake, and the honeymoon — later.
