Laura Trott Marries Jason Kenny

The new couple on the block is the Olympic couple – Laura Trott and Jason Kenny – who got married in a private ceremony held in Cheshire. The two cyclists hold 10 Olympic gold medals between the two of them.

To celebrate, Kenny snapped a photo of Laura in bed and snap chatted the moment, with the comment to his wife - “Good morning Mrs. Kenny”. In the picture Laura is cozied up with their two dogs, Pringle and Sprolo, warming her feet.

Even Trott’s father congratulated the couple and commented on the snap that they are pleased to have Laura as a daughter-in-law.

Laura went to Instagram to post that this is the happiest day of her life, celebrated with all her friends and family. It was an amazing day and the reception went off without a hitch at the Hilltop Country House close to Prestbury Village in Cheshire.

The feminine name Laura is from the Latin name Laurus that means “laurel”. The meaning of the name was favorable, considering that back in ancient Rome leaves from the laurel trees were collected to create victors’ garlands.

The name became popular after the 9th-century martyr from Spain - Saint Laura. This nun was thrown, by the Moors, into a vat of molten lead. It became even more common after it was used as the name of subject in poem by the 14th-century poet Petrarch, who was from Italy. The name has been around for long than that, it was common as an English name since the 13th century.
