South African backstroker Charlene Wittstock met Prince Albert II, the sovereign of Monaco, at the Mare Nostrum 2000 meet in Monaco. She participated in the 2000 Sydney Olympics, moved to the principality in 2006, retired from swimming in 2007, and is now to marry the prince on July 1st and 2nd 2011. Here is a bit of background on CBS News, and Wikipedia of course has a lot about both her, the prince and the wedding.
