Russian President Vladimir Putin will be a surprise guest at Saturday's wedding of Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl, Moscow has confirmed.
Ms Kneissl, 53, will marry businessman Wolfgang Meilinger at vineyard in Austria's Styria state, reports say.
Ms Kneissl, an independent, was picked for the foreign minister job by Austria's far-right Freedom Party - a coalition partner in the current government.
The Freedom Party is believed to have links to Russia's governing United Russia party.
