Olympic champion Amanda Beard and photographer Sacha Brown just tied the knot in a secret ceremony on Wakatobi, an archipelago in the Banda Sea off southeastern Indonesia, on May 1.

The happy couple said “I Do” barefoot on the beach and followed Muslim traditions by covering up their bodies. Amanda dressed up in a black, long-sleeved tunic, a sarong and a white veil and Sacha also wore a sarong a hat and a sword.

“It was absolutely perfect,” Beard, 27, says “It was stress-free, and super low-key. I’ve always said, ‘I want to get married barefoot on the sand.’ “

Amanda is about five months pregnant with her first child but still plans to be back in shape for the 2012 Olympics. Despite spending most of her time in the water, Amanda is not planning a water birth: “I’ve heard wonderful things about it,” she says. “But I want to do it the old-fashioned way – in a hospital, with all the technology!”
