 China's golden skating pair to host wedding on ice
 
 
 
 
 
 
BEIJING (AFP) - – China's golden Olympic figure skating pair Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo fell in love on the ice. Next month, they will throw a long-delayed wedding party on ice, with several of the sport's biggest stars.
 
Shen and Zhao capped a 18-year storybook partnership with China's first Olympic figure skating title in Vancouver in February. They then announced their retirement from the sport, and said they wanted to start a family.
 
Though they have been officially husband and wife since 2007, when they won a third world title, they never threw a wedding celebration.
 
That party will take place along with a gala performance in a Beijing gymnasium on September 4.
 
"Artistry on Ice" will feature Russia's Olympic champions Yevgeny Plushenko and Alexei Yagudin, three-time US men's champion Johnny Weir and two-time Japanese women's world champion Mao Asada.
 
"Xue and I have always wanted to marry on the ice. It's her dream, and now we have an opportunity," Zhao was quoted as saying in the Global Times on Thursday.
 
"I hope we can give something back to the skating community now that we are retired," he said. For every ticket sold, 10 yuan (1.50 dollars) will be donated to skating training programmes.
