When you're a 23-time Olympic gold-medalist like Michael Phelps, you might think you have it all. But what about winning the game of love?

I'm a woman with a lot of character and experience and life...I also just loved the idea of a suit, especially at City Hall because it's like you're taking care of business. I really wanted to wear red actually, initially...and then I just loved mustard yellow and just knew it was the one."
Some might think that this random act of love would get annulled, since it seemed so spur of the moment. But apparently, the couple had known each other to some extent for a few years before they became a 2-week couple. And since then, they've had a son. The verdict: Still going strong!
