As the opening ceremonies for the 2016 Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil take place tonight, the world will be watching and waiting to see which of these star athletes will take home the gold. But these eight Olympians have already snagged the gold — when it comes to love, that is! After sprinting down the track, sticking their landings, and throwing the javelin, these Olympic athletes walked down the aisle, tied the knot, and threw the bouquet — and we cheered just as loudly, of course!

In honor of the start of the Rio Summer Olympics 2016, we’re throwing it back to the perfect-10 romances of the top athletes of Olympics past. From Shawn Johnson’s spring wedding to Michael Phelp’s current engagement and adorable baby with his bride-to-be, here are eight past Olympians who added to their gold collection in the form of wedding and engagement rings. (That’s just as cool as a medal, right?)

Sasha Cohen
As an award-winning figure skater in the 2006 Olympic games, Sasha Cohen is no stranger to ice, but it’s her newest piece of ice that has caught our eye! After competing in the Olympics, the skater returned to academics and met hedge fund manager Tom May at a Harvard Business School party in 2014. A year later, Cohen announced their to-be-wed status in an #EngagementRingSelfie on Instagram, where she showed off her new oval-cut bling and her hubby-to-be. “Engaged to the most incredible man… I’ve never been so happy,” she captioned the photo.

Misty May
Anyone else remember being jealous of Misty May’s killer abs back in the early oughts? The beach volleyball player is a three-time Olympic gold medalist, competing in the 2004, 2008, and 2012 games. Less than three months after winning her first gold medal, May tied the knot with professional baseball player Matt Treanor. Fun fact: Her Olympics teammate Kerri Walsh stood by her side as a bridesmaid on the big day!

Shawn Johnson
Eight years after snagging the gold medal in 2008 for her balance beam performance, this gymnast snagged the love of her life: NFL player Andrew East. They wed in April 2016 in Nashville, Tennessee with Johnson exchanging her Olympics leotard for a strapless mermaid wedding dress. “I’m not a really girly-girl and I’ll have on this beautiful dress and it’s out of my comfort zone,” Johnson shared with People magazine ahead of the big day. She had no reason to be nervous — that dress scored a perfect 10 from us!

Gretchen Bleiler
Three years after shredding snow in the 2006 Torino Olympics and winning the silver medal, snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler exchanged the snow for some serious sun. In 2009, she wed her sweetheart, Chris Hotell in Costa Rica. Always the athlete, the bride even rode into her ceremony on horseback — a total surprise to her groom!

Michael Phelps
Those 22 medals Phelps won throughout his Olympic career can’t compete with the greatest prize of all — his adorable family! Sure, that sounds more than a little cheesy, but have you seen them?! In February of last year, the most decorated Olympian in history announced his engagement to his girlfriend, former Miss California Nicole Johnson. And in May 2016, Phelps and Johnson welcomed their first child — a son they named Boomer Robert Phelps. “One of the coolest things about being a father going into Rio is that our firstborn has the chance to see my last race ever,” the champion swimming told Us Weekly. “I think that’s something that’ll be really special.”

Nastia Liukin
This Olympian gymnast is a gold medalist and has a HUGE diamond engagement ring to show off, but she somehow still didn’t win that coveted disco ball trophy on Dancing with the Stars. Can you say robbed? Liukin took home the gold in 2008, competed on DWTS in 2015, and then started her journey to becoming a Mrs. later that same year. Her sweetheart, Matt Lombardi, proposed with a cushion-cut engagement ring with a double-pavé halo, which is totally just as impressive as Liukin’s performance on the balance beam.

New details on Charlie White and Tanith Belbin's wedding! http://t.co/OqZgaAmoqv pic.twitter.com/bk0tfUxqh7

Charlie White and Tanith Belbin
Not one, but two Olympic ice dancers in the fam? Charlie White and Tanith Belbin have got to be the coolest couple on the block! (Get it? Cool?) White took home the gold medal during the 2014 Olympics, while his now-wife snagged the silver in 2006. They tied the knot in April of last year in Ann Arbor, Michigan — just a few miles from the Detroit ice rink where the couple met over 15 years before! Amazing, right? “She was the most beautiful girl at the rink,” White previously reminisced with People magazine.

Tom Daley
The British Olympic diver dove head first into love with his engagement to American screenwriter Dustin Lance Black. The couple went the traditional route, announcing their to-be-wed status in the Times of London newspaper in October of last year. “The engagement is announced between Tom, son of Robert and Debra Daley of Plymouth, and Lance, son of Jeff Bisch of Philadelphia and Anne Bisch of Lake Providence,” the announcement read — and the upcoming wedding plans should be coming soon! “They are going to wait until after the [2016] Olympic Games in Rio before they decide on the date of the wedding and where they want to marry,” Daley’s mother told the Plymouth Herald. We can’t wait!

This is it… The final countdown to your big day. And along with settling those last few details — figuring out where to seat your eccentric Uncle Carl, firming up the flowers, deciding on your first dance song — you’re likely also making one last push to make sure the body that will be wearing that gorgeous white gown looks as good as it possibly can. You and nearly every other woman with an engagement ring on her finger. In fact, research shows that an overwhelming 91 percent of brides-to-be are anxious about their weight. But from here on out, you won’t have to be!

Whether you want to drop those last few pounds or look more toned — or both — we’ve got a month’s worth of daily tips (none of which require starving yourself or working out nonstop!) that will help you feel stunning and confident when you walk down that aisle. You know where to send the thank-you card. Let’s get started!

Day 5: Fiber Up!

Fiber isn’t exactly the sexiest topic in the world, but it can do your body a world of good. “It keeps you full and satisfied, helps naturally remove toxins from your body and expedites weight loss,” says Rachel Beller, R.D., of Beller Nutritional Institute in Beverly Hills and author of Power Souping.

A recent study in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that participants who were instructed to get at least 30 grams of fiber a day — but that was the only dietary change they made — lost nearly as much as a group of people who were put on a much more complex diet that required limiting calories, fat, sugar, and salt and upping fruit, veggie and whole grain consumption. In addition to the fullness factor, fiber actually prevents your body from absorbing some of the calories in the foods you eat. In one study, people who ate 35 grams of fiber a day shaved 245 calories from their daily diets.

Beller recommends aiming to get 30 to 35 grams of fiber a day. (The average American gets about half the recommended amount of fiber each day, so odds are you need to up your fiber game, too.) And try to have 8 to 10 grams of it at breakfast. “It’s an easy meal to get it in because there are so many high fiber options — like cereals, whole wheat bread and oatmeal,” says Beller. “And if you fall a little short at another meal, you’ll be covered.”

One word of caution: If your diet is currently fiber poor, add it in slowly. If you jump right to 35 grams a day you might feel gassy and bloated. So, for example, rather than going for a big bowl of All Bran tomorrow morning, she suggests mixing it half and half with whatever cereal you eat now. Try the same strategy at other meals and gradually up your fiber grams until you hit that magic 30 to 35 range.

Here’s a quick list of some high-fiber foods, measured in grams per cup:

Black beans, canned — 17

Lentils, cooked — 16

White beans, canned (chickpeas, cannellini, etc.) — 13

Peanuts — 12

Edamame, shelled — 8

Green peas — 8

Raspberries and blackberries — 8

Apples — 4

Carrots — 4

Potato, with skin — 4

Corn — 3

Orange — 3

roccoli — 2

Cauliflower — 2

Go for the glam with three dramatic looks straight from the red carpet.

Cara Delevingne at the Suicide Squad European premiere: Want to add a little edge to a boho affair, or play up your personal glam rock style? Cara Delevingne offers the perfect combination of hard and soft. Start with a matte finish foundation, buffing everything into a smooth, soft canvas. Warm up your cheekbones with a matte bronzer in the contours of your face and then focus on the eyes. Shape and define your brows so they are full and more prominent than your everyday look, and then tightline your upper and lower lids. Smudge the liner under the lower lashes in the outer corners. Use a slate gray eyeshadow from the upper lashes to the crease of your lid, and smudge it under the lower lashes. Use a dark brown shadow in the crease, and coat the lashes with mascara. A matte nude lipstick, and you’re done.

Shay Mitchell at the 2016 Teen Choice Awards: Looking for an ultra-glam look that ignores convention? We’ve got you covered! To recreate Shay Mitchell’s look, prep the skin with a luminous finish primer and then use your favorite full-coverage foundation. Do a traditional contour and highlight, and don’t defuse the bronzer too much, to keep that sharp, glam effect. For the eyes, tightline with a jet black pencil and here’s a trick: To create the smokey red eye, use a blush palette! Use a tool to make sure your shadow has the ultra sharp, defined cat eye shape, and tap a copper glitter over the top of the color from lashes to crease and below the lower lashes. Don’t forget a strip of thick faux lashes or the brows! Define the brows with a pencil first, to get the shape you want and then fill them in with a gel formula. Nude liner and lipstick completes the look.

Ashley Benson at the 2016 Teen Choice Awards: If you’re a bride who likes to experiment with your beauty looks, this one will definitely give your wedding photos an exciting editorial edge. To get Ashley Benson’s awards show look, use a BB Cream or lightweight foundation to even out your complexion followed by a light wash of pink blush on the cheekbones and heavy highlighter on all the highpoints of the face. Brush your eyebrows up and out and fill them in, making sure you let the individual hairs show for a natural look. Line the lips and fill them in with a semi-matte light pink. Onto the show-stopper! Line the eyes with a gray pencil, taking the line out past the outer corners of the lower lashes and blurring the lower line to give it a ‘second day’ look. Then smudge a plum/gray eyeshadow under your lower lashes. Finally, place a splotch of gold shadow under the lower lashes in the middle of each eye, and use a coat or two of mascara on the upper lashes.

When it comes to the wedding registry, most couple select everything from the patterns on their fine china to the thread count of their sheets — if you’re opting for a sexy registry, that is — together. But a new survey shows that more than a few brides and grooms have added or removed items to their wedding registries on the DL, without their partners being any the wiser.

Moen, a designer of bathroom and kitchen accessories, conducted a survey among 2,026 adults ages 18 and older, asking them for the wackiest things that have happened with their registries, including those changes they’ve made without their partner’s prior approval. As it turns out, 27 percent of the pollsters copped to adding or removing an item from their registries without telling their significant others. That number rises to 34 percent when you consider only the youngest respondents, ages 18 to 34, and drops to just 12 percent for those 45 and older.

So what changes are these brides and grooms making on the sly? “Housewares were a popular behind-the-back addition,” Moen reports. In fact, one bride confessed to Moen that she added a china set she adored but that she knew her soon-to-be-spouse despised when he wasn’t looking. Another bride had a real problem that her groom had used their registry to snag a gaming system, so she deleted it and added various household decor. One bride simply told Moen that she got rid of “the tacky stuff he picked out,” while another admitted she didn’t trust her groom’s gut, so she took off “some impractical glasses he chose and added some I thought were better.”

Grooms were guilty of making changes, too, however. “From the male perspective, sporting goods and electronics were prevalent additions,” Moen reports. One soon-to-be groom sneaked onto his registry without his future wife’s knowledge and added a mini basketball hoop, while another went on and added a gaming console behind his fiancée’s back, according to Moen. And a third groom added “a bunch of Blu-ray movies to our registry without permission from my bride,” he told Moen.

Of course, odd things worked their way into couples’ homes without the couple adding the items to their registries on the DL. According to Moen, 34 percent of couple returned at least six gifts. And when you read about the wacky gifts they received, you’ll soon see why.

Brides told Moen they’d received the following odd items as gifts: A casserole dish shaped like a duck, a chia pet, an IOU, ball and chain underwear, and a machete. Yes, you read that right.

“But luckily, it’s not all bad,” Moen reports. “Couples received plenty of great gifts, too. Many folks stated their spouse was the best present they received, while others raved about generous monetary gifts, fantastic cookware and even a cruise to the Bahamas.”
