Love was in the air over the weekend for New York Liberty guard Sabrina Ionescu and Las Vegas Raiders center Hroniss Grasu.

The longtime couple tied the eternal knot in Laguna Beach, California, a year and two months after getting engaged in January 2023.

Dallas Wings forward Satou Sabally, Pau Gasol, Kobe Bryant's widow Vanessa Bryant and daughter Natalia Bryant were among the stars in attendance at the wedding ceremony. The Oregon Ducks mascot was also a fun addition to the guest list.

Ionescu, 26, announced on social media in January 2023 that she and Grasu got engaged in what she initially thought would be a GQ photoshoot, which turned into a surprise proposal.

In August 2021, the couple publicly announced they were dating after Ionescu made an Instagram post on Grasu's birthday.

The couple attended the University of Oregon, where Ionescu was a freshman in 2016 and Grasu declared for the NFL draft after the 2014 season.

New York drafted Ionescu as the No. 1 pick in the 2020 WNBA draft after finishing her collegiate career as Oregon's all-time leader in points, assists, double-figure scoring games and field goals. The Chicago Bears drafted Grasu in 2015 after earning three Pac-12 first-team all-conference honors.
