Oh .. I like them very much..
Thank you Petra!!

Vania, I'm pretty sure they are really married! On their homepage (the english version) they say that they married in 2000 and I think I remember that there are even talks about Margarita's already beeing married the second time because she needed the citizenship (if I got that right). But you get the citizenship only if you are REALLY married - grashdansky brak doesn't count there...
Here's the link
http://www.kataniye.com/drobiazko-vanagas/en/article-mm.htm

and a little part from the article (it's a pretty long one...):

Margarita needed to get Lithuanian citizenship badly, which sporting officials resisted as hard as they could. There was just one way to get it - marry a Lithunian; thus Margarita got married in 1991. She had never spoken about her fictitious marriage in public so far. Not very long ago Povilas' mother told us Rita needed the Lithuanian passport badly. Now Margarita has confirmed this as well. It was only in 1994 that Rita got the citizenship for her sporting achievements.
Margarita's second wedding was quite a different one. In 2000, getting married at a Moscow registration office and giving her wedding oath, Rita believed this marriage would be for life. Her family was crying looking at Rita dressed in white and Povilas hugging her tenderly.

Thank you, Baghira
I was forgotten about this actually I read this article long, long time ago. Btw, does anyone see any pics from their wedding? I'm very curious to see Margarita as a bride.

You're welcome
No, I didn't see any pictures from their wedding on their homepage, or elsewhere, sorry

Interview with Rita&Povilas (thanks to Indre from their forum):

They speak about Ice age, about their own show and the stars invited to participate, and smth curious - if I understood correctly, they invited them to act in a movie, but they refused. Did I understand right? Swetis ?

Thanks for sharing!

"Ice Mistery" in Vilnius , Lithuania on January 1,2009.
http://ru.delfi.lt/news/live/article.php?id=19881418



Vilnius was charmed by Drobiazko/Vanagas show “Ice mistery”



January 1, Vilnius Town Hall Square has turned into an outside ice rink . In the holiday show “Ice Mystery” took place our best figure skating pair - Margarita Drobyazko and Povilas Vanagas, who performed a series of new and already seen numbers, that brought them glory in the international arenas.


The program was also attended by foreign ice acrobats and circus performers - Rory Flak, who works in the U.S. Aidas Reklis, Ukrainian Galina Efremenko and also the young Lithuanian pair Katherine Copely and Deividas Stagniūnas . In the finale of the event a group of young skaters performed under ABBA’s "Happy New Year" . Holiday on Ice is part of the national program «Vilnius - Cultural Capital of Europe 2009».


«We have dreamed for a long time to perform at a public ice arena in Lithuania . Finally, this dream came true - in the most beautiful square in Vilnius. Cathedral Square is also very beautiful, but the Town Hall Square has more intimate atmosphere, and the ice-skating rink perfectly fit into the landscape of the surrounding area of buildings », - said in an interview for DELFI Povilas Vanagas, who also noticed the high quality of the ice.

«The feeling when you skate at home is always different, we always feel very happy. We love to skate in open arenas, because there is always a special atmosphere. Our dream - to skate under the sky of Vilnius -was fulfilled and we are very happy », - said Margarita Drobyazko.

«I never thought that our performance could bring so many people. We weren’t even able to see the whole crowd. We are confident that everyone who watched the performances, will go on the ice », - said P. Vanagas.

The organizers believe that the ice festival near the Town Hall - is not just a show of figure skating stars, but also an opportunity for everyone who wants to skate outside and admire the amazing architecture of Vilnius Old Town. Town Hall Square, «the heart» of the old city, frequently visited by the residents and guests of Vilnius , is the perfect place for this ice project. Building an outside ice skating rink could become a wonderful New Year's tradition.

The length of the ice area near the Town Hall is 37 meters, the width - 20 meters. The rink is surrounded by protective aluminum sides with height of 1 meter. At the expense of the technical partner of the organizers, the German firm ISS Ice & Solar Systems GmbH, which is engaged in installing of ice fields for 25 years and built similar projects in Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg, Paris, Moscow and other cities.
The rink will be opened the entire January.
