Charlie White and Tanith Belbin tie the knot

With their ice dance partners looking on, Olympic medalists Charlie White and Tanith Belbin tied the knot on Saturday night.

White and partner Meryl Davis captured the gold medal in 2014 and silver in 2010. They were the first Americans to win gold in Olympic ice dancing. Belbin captured silver with partner Ben Agosto in 2006, at the time the first American pair to medal in 30 years.

Both couples trained in Detroit, Michigan. They knew each other for more than a decade before White, 27, and Belbin, 30, started dating in 2009.

"She was the most beautiful girl at the rink," White told People. "I think probably every guy had a crush on her." 

They married in front of about 130 family and friends, with Davis and fellow former ice dancer Lauren Fenft in the bridal party.

"Having been friends for so many years before we started dating, I had a really good idea the kind of guy Charlie was and the kind of companion he would be," Belbin said. "His commitment to make a difference in this world is so inspiring, and being around him just made me feel like I wanted to be the best version of myself as well. Being chosen by someone who you admire more than anyone else in this world, it's just the luckiest feeling I can ever have."
