The beautiful daughter of ex-Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko is to marry a rock and roll biker from Leeds, England in a fairy tale wedding in the Ukraine.

The unlikely pair- she beautiful, elegant, and posh, he leather-clad and tattooed, will culminate in marriage this Sunday in one of the golden-domed churches of Kiev Lavra.

Sean Carr, an aspiring rock singer first met 25-year-old Yevhenia Tymoshenko in an Egyptian spa resort in 2004. Reports indicate that it was Yevhenia who chased the dark-haired Englishman by asking his friends for his phone number, something the bride-to-be has later denied.

The couple met once again in England, where Yevhenia has lived since her teenage years. Carr later joined Yevhenia and future mother-in-law Yulia for Ukraine's Orange Revolution late last year.

"He is a nice person and he adores my daughter, that's the most important thing," the ex-prime minister has been reported as saying.

The couple will marry Sunday according to the Christian Orthodox tradition. The wedding is to be followed by a trip to Yorkshire.
