On Tuesday, as the Washington Capitals honored Alex Ovechkin for his 700th career goals with a pregame ceremony, his wife, Nastya, and their son, Sergei, were proudly by his and even stole some of the spotlight.

While we know the couple is expecting their second child, we hadn't yet heard the story behind their engagement -- until now. Nastya shared that story in a recent interview with The Washington Post.

The couple first met in 2008 at the Summer Olympics in Beijing. They exchanged phone numbers at one of the events and became fast friends. After the Olympics, Ovechkin returned to Washington and Nastya returned to Russia, and the two eventually lost touch after Nastya lost her phone. 

Five years later the two reconnected and, eventually, Ovechkin invited Nastya to come to Washington, to which she accepted. 

One day while she was in the shower with shampoo in her hair, she heard frantic knocks on the door. 

“I was like, ‘What! Do you understand I am just …’ and he didn’t stop so I was like, ‘Oh my gosh’ and I got a towel and I opened the door and he is on one knee with the flowers and with the ring," Nastya said, per The Washington Post. "At first when I opened the door I thought I would kill him. Can you imagine you were in the shower and then you need to get out … oh my god. Why you couldn’t just wait? He said ‘No, no, no, I wanted to right now.'"

In 2016, they went to Russia to sign their marriage certificate and a year later they held their ceremonial wedding.
