Getty Images Well, they say these things happen in threes. Michael Jordan got engaged on Dec. 29, and then LeBron James proposed to his longtime girlfriend at a New Year’s Eve party. Now, three-time U.S. National Champion figure skater Johnny Weir has tied the knot (actually a bow, I’m guessing). Saying that he was anxious to introduce him to “my world of glitter and Faberge eggs,” Weir married Georgetown Law graduate Victor Voronov, 28, in an early morning civil ceremony at the New York City Courthouse.

Here was the buildup on Weir’s Twitter page:

People Magazine:
“Marrying Victor has been the greatest moment in my life and I will work very hard to make him proud and happy,” Weir said in a statement. “As an added benefit to all this joy, marriage gives your skin an amazing glow. I look forward to making a home for my family in Bergen County, New Jersey, and introducing my world of glitter and Faberge eggs to Victor.”
His statement also said, “I am so happy to have found my match. Finding someone to share your life with is one of the most important things a human can do and was preached to me by my mother. Victor is the epitome of a gentleman, as handsome as he is clever and loving. Our road to marriage has been a fast one, but one I never waivered on. I am honored to have been married in the great state of New York, and I hope more states pass laws allowing all Americans to be united through love and marriage.”
Fun fact: Weir is the only figure skater to have an asteroid named after him by NASA.
