Elena Dementieva married hockey player Maxim Afinogenov on Saturday at a lovely hotel in Moscow.
Luckily for us, Russian tennis player Alla Kudryavtseva was covering the event from her Twitter account, and it seems the reception was quite the spectacle.
A handful of other Russian tennis players were in attendance, including Svetlana Kuznetsova and former No. 1 Dinara Safina among others. Caroline Wozniacki and Roger Federer were there via video, and even NHL superstar Alex Ovechkin had a few words for the happy couple.
Afinogenov, 31, has enjoyed a long hockey career, playing nine seasons with the Sabres and a one-year stint with the Thrashers.
