She told me, 'You are going to be a father today.' I was a little confused as Karolina wasn’t due to go in until Thursday, but she told me, 'She is in now.'

Marcos Baghdatis married Karolina Sprem in Trakoscan castle in Croatia
Marcos Baghdatismarried his long time girlfriend WTA tennis player, Karolina Sprem, in the beautiful surroundings of the Trakoscan castle in Croatia.
The couple married in a chapel near the castle and changed locations in a carriege.
Marcos and Karolina started dating back in January 2012 but they kept a low profile. Actually I never read they were dating at all.
They are so low profile that they used numerous umbrellas to try to hide from the photographs.
Congratulations to the new marry couple!!
