Monica Puig marries Nathan Rakitt in Puerto Rico

Monica Puig, who retired from the WTA Tour earlier this year, has traded her racquet for a Rakitt. The 29-year-old married Nathan Rakitt on Friday in her native Puerto Rico.

According to El Nuevo Dia, a Puerto Rican newspaper, the couple originally met 15 years ago at a tennis camp in Atlanta (Rakitt is from Georgia) and began dating two years ago. Before they reunited, Puig reached No. 27 in the world and won the gold medal at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Rakitt played NCAA Division I tennis at Georgia Tech from 2012 to 2016. According to his LinkedIn profile, he is a product manager at Capital One.

The ceremony took place seaside at the Caribe Hilton hotel in San Juan. The weather was misty, but nature smiled on the couple with a pair of rainbows through the gray skies. Puig wore a gown of tiered fringe designed by Harry Robles after donning a simple strapless mini-dress with a dramatic floor-length bow around the waist the evening before. She gave a Puerto Rico magazine a sneak peek of the reception, showing modern boho-glam decor. El Nuevo Dia reported that 140 guests were in attendance.

Rakitt brings a lot of his own medals to their Atlanta household as a regular competitor in Spartan Races. He and Puig completed the New York City Marathon last weekend. It was Puig's first of what she hopes will be a complete set of the word's six biggest marathons.

Hopefully, the couple that sets personal records together stays together.
