Yesterday, Dec 30th 2007, sliding across Vladivostok's ice-skating rink on one knee, Dan popped the question to Kate. The scene was pure romance! Against the twilight, a light snow fell across the busy ice-skating rink. The temperature was a brisk -10 degrees and all of Vlad was out and about enjoying the festive season.
A magical setting for a magical moment! How could he resist such a momentous opportunity. With all the Olympic style locals flying around the rink anti clock wise, Dan roboticly changed direction and lined Kate up. Building up his courage he began spasmodically skating head on towards Kate with one goal in mind, for her to say YES! As Pluschenko (famous Russian ice-skater) coasted on in, Dan dropped to his knee produced the ring and bowled Kate over before he had a chance to say a word. It could have been a complete disaster, however, with the two of them sprawled out all over the ice and locals flying around at the speed of freight trains, the question was asked and a YES was the result. Congratulations! Pozdravlyau! My little Sis is going to get married.

This is great news.
