Swedish slalom star Mattias Hargin and Freeride World Tour competitor Matilda Rapaport wed in a private ceremony surrounded by family and friends over the weekend. Judging by their respective Instagram feeds and the #MMinvitational hashtag, a dual slalom was part of the festivities as wedding guests duked it out before the ceremony began.

The 30-year-old Hargin is currently ranked 14th in the World Cup slalom standings and has five World Cup slalom podiums to his name, including a victory in the 2015 Kitzbuehel slalom. The Swede is known for his attacking style on tour and looks to improve upon a lackluster year by his standards this coming season.

Rapaport, also 30, is a Red Bull athlete and has been a regular on the Swatch Freeride World Tour since 2013. She finished the 2016 season ranked fourth in the FWT women’s skiing standings, took the victory at the 2013 Xtreme Verbier stop and has finished on the podium on four other occasions.
