Hey Coach, don't forget to pick up my dry cleaning!

It didn't draw remotely the buzz of the
fairytale wedding ceremony shared by
Radek Stepanek and
Nicole Vaidisova last weekend, but there were wedding bells for
Alona Bondarenko earlier this month.
The 25-year-old Ukranian player ranked No. 30 in the world wed her coach, Nikolay Dyachok, on July 8 in an extremely informal ceremony in Kiev.
The bride and groom both wore blue jeans and T-shirts that read "Just Married."
Their honeymoon was a bit more traditional, as the two recently returned from Crete.
Marrying one's coach doesn't seem like the greatest idea considering the blurring of the professional and personal relationship lines. It makes even less sense when you consider Bondarenko's other coach is her mother, and if there's one thing that history has taught us, it's that husbands and mothers-in-law always get along famously.
However, there's a definite chance for an upside to the relationship and Bondarenko's career. I envision some great motivational conversations between the new couple like "Hey honey, if you win the US Open, I'll do the dishes until the Australian."
While the news is definitely happy for most, there's no joy on this day for the 119 members of the
Facebook group "I want to take Alona Bondarenko home."
What's on your mind?
