Olympian Amanda Beard has recently announced to People Magazine that she is engaged to photographer Sasha Brown. The two met on a photo shoot and it appears that Beard is over the moon.

“We are thrilled to be starting the next chapter in our lives together. We are completely in love and to

top it off we are best friends. Sacha proposed on Christmas morning in the most perfect way I could imagine. He is truly the man of my dreams and every day I spend with him is a blessing. Basically, it rocks!”

The Olympic champ also told US Weekly how the engagement went down:

“We got engaged on Christmas day. It was really simple,” Beard said. “We decided to do Christmas by ourselves in our house in Tuscon. He had a little Tiffany’s box, and it was hidden in this Santa statue that we had – his little sack – and it was perfect.”

The couple are planning a quiet April wedding.
