Vitek Vanecek had two absolutely life-changing events happen in approximately 24 hours.
Yesterday, Vanecek was traded by the Washington Capitals to the New Jersey Devils after spending the first eight years of his career with the DC hockey team (and this time, there will be no take-backsies).
Today, Vanecek got married to his longtime love, Kristýna, in his native Czechia.
Capitals defenseman Martin Fehervary attended the wedding. Warning, there is a lot of handsome and pretty in the following photo.
It’s unknown at this point if Vanecek’s long-time close friend in the Capitals’ organization, Jakub Vrana, attended as well. But in my mind I’m going to assume he did.
Vanecek will compete with MacKenzie Blackwood to be the starter in net next season with the Devils. Vanecek joins former Capital Jonas Siegenthaler, who was recently named the best defensive defenseman in the league, on the team.

Congratulations to Vitek and Kristýna.
And good luck in New Jersey, Vitek. You’ll be missed and we’ll all be rooting for you.
Correction: A previous version of this post said that Michal Kempny was at their wedding. Kempny was in Sweden for Christian Djoos’ wedding that happened on the same day. We regret the error.
