Tatiana Volosozhar & Maxim Trankov

I was wondering about that actually, cause Nina Mozer was there but I couldnt see him either. You never know really, he might have had another important obligation... or something like that. (Probably best we dont start assuming things though- dont want to turn into an FSU-esque thread now do we! :laugh:)

You're too funny.
I was also wondering about Denis Ten, and Yuna Kim. But maybe they aren't "friends" -- they are more associates or colleagues. But I thought they were close with Denis.

They said one of the reasons they made the wedding on the 18th was that most of their friends will be able to attend on that date. That probably still leaves out some that could not attend on that precise date. It is very difficult to accomodate 120 people, most of them probably very busy, some from abroad, to come together at one place. So I am going to assume that everyone who was not there was probably invited but unable to attend :).

Good assumption! You’re probably right.

Another observation: I would have liked a few more close-up pictures of T and V’s immediate family. I am happy there was one group shot of them but other than that, we hardly got a glimpse of Tatiana’s mother, or Max’s brother -- and his wife and kids?

And what time of the day was the wedding – 11 a.m. in the morning or later in the day? It probably sounds silly but from start to finish weddings can take a long time and I was thinking that V and T (and the wedding party) might be starving and not even realize it. It didn’t look like there was a sit-down meal, though maybe that was utterly private and the picture-taking put on hold.

I have to say I liked the weather! The horizon with grey, stormy clouds in the background looked like an oil painting. I think I’ve heard that the light on an overcast day is considered beneficial for photography.

There is this photo of Lambiel and Righini (I think) on the Instagram of Max's brother - https://instagram.com/p/6iRkR2Ci1K/. The comment asks, "Did Steph eat?". And Alexei Trankov responds, "Yes, he did." (actually Trankov uses another expression in Russian that is not wery translatable, but means that Stephane ate really profoundly :)). There was another picture with Stephane before that with a caption "Steph wants real food" - https://instagram.com/p/6iF_TPii-u/?taken-by=trankov :biggrin:. So, in the end they did eat, but seems that it was quite late in the evening.

There were at least three photographers that followed them non stop. I am sure they got all the pics they could possibly want, but not all were posted for public view. That is why they had their pr agency to take care of it. Max and Tania are public figures by nessessity, but their extended families are not. They might not want any publicity and so they don't get any.
Re: lunch-according to some interviews of their guests, they had wine and cupcakes on the roof, then they had a light picnic, then a lunch in private in close circle, and in the evening they went to the big celebration. Or something like that. They did not starve :)
 
So, what is the date when we are going to be their new programs for first time?
The test skates will take place in sochi, on sep. 12-13. I don't know if it's open for the public.

Their first competition is on september 24-26.. (nebelhorn trophy) not sure about the dates though..
 
I made a little video of all their backstage videos and instagram photos over the years to celebrate them getting married! I used this forum's content extensively when making it so I just wanted to say thank you to all you guys and your work over the years as such great fans of them finding all these lovely memories and moments of them, as well as the translations for us non-russian speakers! (I also included some Lambiel at points, how could I leave out the adorable ringbearer after all! :yay:) I hope you all like it :biggrin:

Re the Nebelhorn: I googled the dates, KinoriH. You are correct I think. V and T are the only Russian team skating from what I could tell.

Test skates will be open for the public. Tickets are already on SALE! Can't wait for the videos.
 

He actually wrote "the way to the heart of Trankov is through... soup!" haha and that comes from a guy who said that he doesn't like it when Tanya spends time in the Kitchen.. lol
He also tweeted something like : "Married for one week! Everything is normal! I'm not tired, the woman has not been cut. Happy!" :rofl:


Snow63- I can't believe the test skates are open for everyone! I SO hope some videos will be available soon.. :dance:

Not ordinary soup, but borsch! :laugh:

In another tweet he says that everything is ok, the life is not getting boring, and his wife doesn't nag him (i.e. he makes a joke about things which are usually considered the drawbacks of the family life :biggrin: )
