Meet newlyweds Astrid Guyart and Julie Lavet!
Out French fencer Astrid Guyart (right) married her girlfriend, Julie Lavet (left), in a beautiful ceremony recently, and the brilliant athlete shared some pics of the joyous event on her Instagram!
When she's not competing on Team France's fencing team, Guyart is also a successful children's book author and a part-time aerospace engineer who works on designing rockets.

She had been training hard to compete for Team France in the Olympics in Tokyo this past summer, but she was also one of 186 international members of Team LGBTQ+.

But Olympic glory was in the background as Guyart and Lavet only had eyes for each other on the day of their wedding.

"There are awakenings where you realize you've just had the happiest day of your life," she wrote of the moment she and Lavet tied the knot.

Guyart also said she had "underestimated the emotion of this day, the pure joy, the complete happiness, the sweet madness of having all of your loved ones reunited and delighted to be so to celebrate love until the early hours of the morning."

Appropriately, enough, the pair had a rainbow-colored cake, with Lego figures of themselves on top of the white-frosted dessert.

"I had no idea that the day after a wedding love could be even stronger than the day before," Guyart wrote. (We're not crying, you are.)
Best wishes to Astrid and Julie for a long and happy life together!
