Russian couple Yekaterina and Dmitry Vasilyev enjoyed a perfect wedding celebration on Sunday as they briefly halted their nuptials to watch the hosts defy the odds by beating Spain in a penalty shootout to reach the World Cup quarter-finals.
俄羅斯夫婦葉卡塔琳娜和德米特里．瓦西里耶夫週日擁有一場完美結婚慶典，在他們短暫停止婚禮時，觀看地主隊成員們突破萬難，藉由互射12碼大戰擊敗西班牙而進入世界盃準決賽。
The couple, along with their family and friends, were huddled around a mobile phone as they witnessed Russia goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev save shots from Koke and Iago Aspas to send unfancied Russia through to the last eight.
這對新人和他們的親友，窩在一起圍著一台手機，當他們見證俄國門將伊戈爾．阿金費耶夫擋下科克和伊亞古．亞斯巴斯的球，把不被看好的俄國送進8強。
Their wedding ceremony - in a town outside St Petersburg - started at 1400 GMT, the same time as the Spain v Russia match kicked off, and the guests kept track of the score in a Round of 16 tie that ended 1-1 after extra-time.
他們的婚禮——在聖彼得堡市外圍一處小鎮——於格林威治標準時間14點展開，和西班牙對俄國的比賽開球時間相同，而賓客持續追蹤這場延長賽後仍以1比1打和的16強賽得分。
The penalty shootout commenced as they sat down for the reception and the soccer took center stage with the blessing of the bride and groom.
當他們坐下接受款待，互射12碼開始了，在新娘及新郎的祝福下，足球成了全場焦點。
The room erupted into wild celebrations as Akinfeev’s save secured a 4-3 shootout win for Russia to confirm the host’s spot in the last eight.
當阿金費耶夫救球為俄國守住4比3勝出的點球戰，確定地主國的8強地位時，整個房間陷入狂喜歡慶。
"It’s the best gift ever," the groom, who is a soccer fan and amateur player himself, said.
本身是個足球迷暨業餘球員的新郎說，「這是有史以來最棒的禮物。」
