Olympic figure skating duo Madison Chock and Evan Bates tie the knot in Hawaiian wedding

Madison Chock and Evan Bates, the talented figure skating duo, have tied the knot in a romantic seaside wedding in Hawaii. The couple, who have won multiple Olympic medals and World Championship titles together, exchanged vows on June 20 in a ceremony that blended Hawaiian traditions with their own personal touches.

The three-day celebration kicked off with a welcome event at the Queen Kapiolani Hotel in Waikiki, where guests enjoyed a performance by Hawaiian artist Honoka and mingled with the couple. The festivities continued with brunch and golfing before the wedding ceremony, which featured a lei exchange and music popular to the islands.

Chock, 28, wore a customized Vera Wang gown, complete with tulle detailing and a voluminous skirt, while Bates, 34, wore a tailored suit. The ceremony was officiated by their skating mentor and performance coach Steffany Hanlen, and included a performance by Chock's mother, Barbara, who sang the "Hawaiian Wedding Song" during the ceremony.

The couple exchanged handwritten vows and received a blessing from the steward of the Lanikuhonua Cultural Institute, where they got married. They also incorporated local foods into the celebration, including shaved ice and malasadas, and had a guava chiffon cake as their wedding dessert.

After the ceremony, the couple danced their first dance as husband and wife to a live performance of "Moon River" by Kailua Moon. They will be honeymooning in Kauai and have their sights set on competing in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, as well as starting a family "one day."
