Para swimmer Bradley Snyder and BMX cyclists Connor Fields and Nic Long all took the plunge, with each man posting a picture of the happy couple on social media. 

Snyder and Long were first, making their posts on Christmas Eve.

This is not the first major commitment for the couple, as they got matching tattoos in 2016 shortly after they started dating.
