While already one of Canada's most-loved pairs on the ice, Dubreuil and Lauzon took the next step in their lives together, off the ice, when they were married this past weekend at the Auberge St. Gabriel in Old Montreal.
Dubreuil and Lauzon were joined by many of their friends from the cast of the Canadian and U.S. Stars on Ice shows for the special day, including Brian Orser, Jeffrey Buttle, David Pelletier, Jennifer Robinson, Joannie Rochette, Jessice Dubé, Bryce Davison, Sasha Cohen, Michael Weiss and more.
"This was obviously a day that Patrice and I have looked forward to, and it was very special to be able to share it with our friends and family in Montreal," said Dubreuil, who wore a gown designed by Canadian Ines Di Santo. "We are very excited about this new chapter in our lives together and very much appreciate all the well wishes we have received from everyone."
Dubreuil and Lauzon, who are four-time Canadian national champions and two-time world silver medalists, announced their retirement from competitive skating in May to focus on a professional career and their new lives together off the ice.
In addition to performing again in both the Canadian and U.S. Stars on Ice tours in 2009, Dubreuil and Lauzon will also be appearing in the casts of Smucker's presents Hot Ice, Cool Sounds on Oct. 18 in Youngstown, Ohio, and Holiday Festival on Ice featuring Amy Grant and Michael W. Smith on Nov. 11 in Las Vegas.
