The sports couple Maria Kirilenko - Alexander Ovechkin announced their engagement a couple of weeks ago, and now they are considering the date of the wedding. This question is really difficult, since the training and competition schedules for the bride and groom are very busy. In the meantime, the athletes tell the press about their feelings.

Now the young people are apart again: Maria is in Australia, and Alexander in Washington plays for the local club "Washington Capitals". But as Kirilenko said, she is constantly in touch with her beloved and is now thinking about organizing a celebration.

“I left for Australia almost immediately after the announcement of my engagement. And Sasha went to America a little later, since the lockout ended in the NHL. But now we are just thinking about the date of the wedding,”the girl told the Sport-Express newspaper.

According to the tennis player, they planned to announce the engagement before the New Year, but then decided to please loved ones exactly for the holiday. “We decided that it would be better to do it on December 31st, when our parents get together at the same table. Then Sasha announced in front of everyone that we decided to get married."

“On New Year's Eve, we were together in our room, and it happened,” Ovechkin said, in turn, to one of the American buildings. - I got down on one knee and made an offer. Maria immediately agreed, because we had already discussed this topic earlier. She chose the ring when I was away from Dynamo and sent me a message with a photo. She asked: "What do you think?" I replied: "Great, I'll take it."

“To be honest, strong feelings immediately arose between me and Sasha, so I immediately accepted his offer, since there was no point in showing off,” Maria said with a smile. And she added that, going to the court, she removes the decoration from her beloved. “Because it gets in the way of playing a little. It is inconvenient to hold the racket”.
