BANFF, Alta. — Jamie Sale and David Pelletier, the Olympic pairs figure skating champions, were married in front of 100 guests during a private ceremony at the Fairmont Banff Springs on Friday.
"Today's ceremony was all I could have imagined and more," said Sale. "I sure love my husband." Sale, 28, from Red Deer, Alta., and Pelletier, 31, of Sayabec, Que., began skating together in 1998. They won the world championship in 2001 in Vancouver.
At the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, the judges placed Russians Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharuldize first but, when a scandal over how the verdict was arrived at broke out, gold medals also were awarded Sale and Pelletier.
The Canadian champions quit competitive skating after the emotional rollercoaster of that experience. They have since starred in international ice shows.
"Jamie is my best friend and I look forward to spending the rest of my life with her," Pelletier said after exchanging vows.
The newlyweds were to spend the weekend with close family and friends before resuming their professional skating duties with Smucker's Stars On Ice in the United States next week. They'll tour Canada in the spring.
Ice Storm, a one-hour CTV documentary special on the 2002 fiasco, airs Jan. 7. The program is narrated by Canadian actor Colm Feore.
