    Congratulations, Roger and Mirka! I had a feeling that you two were going to marry, and the wedding would be low-key. What great news! Mr. and Mrs. Federer, Roger and Mirka Federer. Delightful news, and top of that, you two are going to be parents this summer. Well at least Roger’s personal life is going great. God bless you both and your unborn child.

    Congratulations, Roger&Mirka on your recent wedding. Talk about under the radar. Everything you do seems to be low key and classy and getting married without the fanfare that seems to doom other public figures is your style.
    Happiness to both
