Karla Quinn (2008 British Jr Ladies Champion) is getting married tomorrow (1st June 2013)
In recent months we have had threads on this forum concerning (upcoming) births and (unfortunately) deaths within the skating community. So, I thought I would complete the set and start a thread concerning a marriage!
Just wanted to let you know that Karla Quinn, the 2008 British Junior Ladies champion (and 2009 British Senior Ladies Bronze medallist), is getting married tomorrow (1st June) to her boyfriend, Gareth.
I don’t know where the wedding ceremony itself is being held (I would assume that it is somewhere near the Co. Antrim village where Karla lives and works), but the reception is being held in my hometown, Cookstown!!!
To be honest, I am not sure whether Karla still skates or not. I saw in a local newspaper that Karla took part in a ice dancing competition in her village last year (Given her height, I’ve often thought Karla would make a good Ice Dancer. So, it’s reassuring to know that I’m not the only one to think that! ) But, I think that was just a one-off thing. Karla’s got her own fitness business now, and from what I’ve seen, it is VERY popular. So, she’s probably busy enough with that.
But, even though she may not be competing any more, us figure skating fans in Northern Ireland are still proud of what she achieved.
All the best for the future, Karla and Gareth!
