This is the first marriage for both Moseley, 30, and Rich, 29, who met in high school. The couple started dating five years ago and got engaged on April 20, 2003.

Born in Puerto Rico, then raised in northern California, Moseley is a two-time World Cup champ. He was the first to receive a gold medal for the United States in freestyle moguls at the '98 Olympics in Nagano, Japan.

His fame on the slopes helped land him a job as host of MTV's Real World/Road Rules: Battle of the Sexes – as well as a spot on PEOPLE's list of Top 50 Bachelors in 2002.

As for marriage, he told PEOPLE at the time: "I think I could develop into a good husband."
