It was a big weekend for the Schleck brothers, as Andy was named Luxembourger of the year and older brother Fränk got married.
Andy Schleck, 24, won the vote conducted by broadcaster RTL, with 22.5 percent. Second was Thierry van Werveke, a popular actor who passed away in 2009 from cancer at the age of 50, and third was the country's leader, Premier Jean-Claude Juncker. Fränk Schleck was fourth.
The younger Schleck finished second overall in the Tour de France, as well as winning Liège-Bastogne-Liège-Bastogne-Liege and his national road championship.
Fränk Schleck married his girlfriend in a civil ceremony on New Year's eve. The couple had gotten engaged at the Amstel Curacao race in November. The church wedding is planned for August (read more about this on http://www.wort.lu/wort/web/sport/artikel/65614/fraenk-schleck-hat-geheiratet.php ).

Actually,"get engaged" means that 2 people have agreed to get married,not that they've become boyfriend and girlfriend (I found out about the true meaning of this word few months ago and the discovery pretty shocked me...).
RispondiEliminaBtw,apart from this language-note: I also used to think that Frank and Martine would have got married with a civil ceremony before of August so,in a certain way,this news wasn't a big surprise to me.Anyway,I wish them all the best for the future!
