Shelby Rogers marries John Slavik: “The Lord is so good!”

American tennis player Shelby Rogers tied the knot with her long-term partner John Slavik in a beautiful ceremony held at Harborside East, a wedding venue in the bride’s hometown of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.

The 31-year-old Rogers is the third WTA player who got married this off-season, after Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk and Russian Anastasia Potapova. Donning an enchanting Morilee bridal gown designed by Madeline Gardner, complete with a lengthy veil and train, Rogers said “yes” to the American ice hockey player she met through a blind date arranged by mutual friends a few years ago (some reports say that they met in 2019, while others claim their first meeting was in 2020).
