Tony G is officially off the market after marrying his fiancée Aistė Šlapokaitė during a festival in his beloved Lithuania.
Tony G is the latest high profile poker player to have a ring slipped onto his finger after marrying his fiancée Aistė Šlapokaitė.
The pair tied the knot in Lithuania’s capital city of Vilnius, before retreating to his luxurious Tony Resort for the best man speeches, top tucker and hours of dirty dancing.
“Today we have sworn to each other in front of God and our guests.” Tony G said moments after the fateful word ‘Yes’ fell out of his mouth.
It’s not the first time that Tony G has sworn at someone, as his many opponent’s can testify, but you get the sense that the trash talker is settling down, with 2014 being the most important year of his life, and interestingly poker has not really been a part of it.
Tony G has amassed over $4.8m in live tournament earnings, spread over a 12-year period, that has seen him lock away at least some winnings every year with the exception of this one
But his sabbatical from poker has allowed him to put more intense focus into the more important areas of his life: mainly politics and love.
Back in May, Tony G made history by gaining a seat in the European Parliament, the first time a member of a Lithuanian Liberal Party had done so. The G-Meister General was the also the most voted for Lithuanian politician in the local elections.
Back to wedding bells, rings and pageboys and the pair had been dating for two years prior to the Vilnius ceremony.
“I have searched for my better half for a long time and finally found her in my home country. We have tested each other during our two-year relationship, and I can easily tell that my wife is a wonderful person – wise, understanding, supportive, warm, sensitive, accepting me with all my weaknesses.” Said Tony G.
Weakness…surely you don’t have any of them Tony?
Earlier this year, PartyPoker Ambassador Kara Scott also tied the knot, when she married the Italian Poker Pro Giovanni Rizzo, and Canadian Ben Wilinofsky married his Russian sweetheart Rada Keld in the passing few weeks.
