Russian President Vladimir Putin was more "Glee" than KGB as he danced with Austria's foreign minister at her wedding Saturday.

Karin Kneissl was all smiles as she danced with the strongman in a vineyard in Austria's southern Styria province – though critics worried her invitation to Putin undermined the West's tough-guy approach with Moscow.

Putin brought a bouquet of flowers and a choir to serenade Kneissl and her new hubby, entrepreneur Wolfgang Meilinger, local media reported. He gave them a cold press oil machine, a traditional Russian samovar and a landscape painting that "depicts the place where the groom hails from," his spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian news agencies.

He also made a toast to the newlyweds in German, the Kremlin said, and left the wedding after about an hour to head for a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel outside Berlin.

"It was a nice trip," Putin said before his talks with Merkel, adding they plan to discuss bilateral ties, economic cooperation and a controversial Russian gas pipeline beneath the Baltic Sea.
