Mike Goldman Announces Good News Of Impending Marriage… At His Wife-to-be’s 21st Birthday

Mike Goldman is nothing if not a stand up guy. Think about it, he’s even got a bit of culture, narrating Meerkat Manor for Australian audiences; clearly he’s a thoughtful and classy bloke.

So we were not surprised to read of his planned nuptials to Brisbane “aspiring model” Tanya Arlidge, since he’s an old fashioned kinda guy. What other kind of man would pick up a 19-year-old shop assistant at her place of employment and then announce the engagement at her 21st birthday party?

Friday Night Download co-host Goldman proposed to up-and-coming model Arlidge outside Las Vegas’ Bellagio casino last week.

“I was going to propose to her on top of Park City (ski resort) in Utah, but Tan doesn’t ski so she couldn’t get up there,” Goldman said.

The 35-year-old, who also hosted the doco series Meerkat Manor, revealed the news at Tanya’s 21st birthday bash on Saturday night.

The couple met nearly two years ago when Goldman dropped into a Brisbane clothing store where she was working.

Hopefully there was a round of twenty-questions from Daddy Arlidge, and a novelty, key-shaped cake at the party, just to complete the picture.

Props to the soon-to-be happy couple – now they can go on a honeymoon to the USA, and Mrs Goldman can legally have a drink!
