There's two of Plushenko now. On Saturday June 18, the most eligible russian bachelor Evgeni Plushenko was married to 20-year-old Maria Ermak in the most luxurious place to get married in St. Petersburg. There was a lot of security around the place in case there were alot of fans who might interrupt the ceremony. But there were none, mainly because the time and the place of the wedding was kept out from the public. 14.20 the limousine arrived. Plushenko, in an elegant dark-brown suit in stripes, with a white tie and without any hurry came out of the car. Maria as expected looked beautiful in a white wedding dress and with roses in hands. Plushenko's chosen bride became the 20-year-old student of sociology faculty of St. Petersburg university, 3-rd year. Plushenko and Maria met almost a year ago on the road. One day, when Plushenko drove ina a "Mazzerati" in St. Petersburg he saw a pretty dark-haired girl in an oppen cabriolet. Not thinking for long he drove after her. He drove to her, met her and he won her. They say that at first Maria didn't recognise Evgeni as the olympis champion. That Evgeni was a champion Maria was told from her friends. Evgeni was seen a lot waiting for Maria after classes at the university. Maria's classmates say that she didn't brag about dating the famous skater. Last few months they were living together. Two months ago Evgeni popped the question and asked Maria to marry him. We asked Tatyana Vasilyevna, Evgeni's mother, how does she feel. -Oh, I'm worried, as any mother would be, says she. -Did Evgeni ask for your advise before the proposal to Maria? -Of course.I asked him "maybe it's better to wait?"- but he had already made the decision. Then I met Maria and loved her.When I realised what kind of a person she is, I gave my blessing to my son. -Tatyana Vasilyevna, isn't it hard for you to give your son to another woman? -Masha is a nice girl. She deserves to be his wife. I gave Zhenya to trustful hands. -What did you say to your son this morning? -I wished him love, happiness, patience. During the ceremony Zhenya was always with Maria, he didn't let her go for a minute. Everyone was waiting with inpatience Evgeni's coach- Alexei Mishin, who arrived with a gorgeous bunch of flowers. We asked Mishin: - What did you say when Evgeni told you that he was going to be married? -I told: " Congratulations, dear friend! The wish to marry isn't a mosquito's bite. It's an important step. -Is Evgeni's marriage going to affect his career? -I think not. Among the guests were Roman Kostomarov, Viktor Petrenko, Alexander Abt,the hockey player Alexander Yudin. From USA came to congratulate Evgeni his agent Ari Zakaryan and the producer of the show "Champions on Ice" Mike Collins. Everyone was very serious during the ceremony. Maria took her husband's last name. And Evgeni received a certificate from St. Petersburg with the words "Petersburg loves you and is proud of you!" There were so many flowers that they had to put them aside on a table, and the leaving they forgot all about it. - What about the flowers? Take the flowers, said one of the employees. After the ceremony the guests went driving in Petersburg, and later in the evening they would go to the hotel "Astoria" to celebrate the wedding. The place was arranged for 200 people.
