Congratulations to Flyers owner Ed Snider and Lin Spivak, whom he began dating around March, who were recently engaged, Snider confirmed Thursday morning.
"We are very happy together," Snider said through Comcast-Spectacor spokesman Ike Richman. They declined to provide specifics but SportsInput.com reported recently that Snider proposed to Spivak at a "swanky restarant in Santa Barbara, CA,"
The web site, which broke news of the engagement, says Comcast-Spectacor chairman Snider excused himself to the restroom at which point a group of singers came over and sang "Marry You" by Bruno Mars before Snider returned, getting down on one knee and proposing marriage.

"You can tell everybody I'm not a bum, yet. I'm fine. Don't worry," assured chef Georges Perrier Monday night when we asked about his estate sale last weekend at his Chestnut Hill mansion.
The famed Frenchman said he sold lots of huge copper pots and other cookware from Le Bec-Fin (1523 Walnut) which he sold to Nicolas Fanucci in March.
We're told two women speaking French to each other and accompanied by a small poodle named Isabel ran the sale, while Perrier was present too at his home, which Curbed reports had long been listed for sale but was taken off the market in October. It's last asking price was $2.5 million.
It's the s---storm of the century. John Bolaris finally got his day in court Friday, in Miami, and testified against the Russian crime syndicate charged with crimes including using women to scam and drug unsuspecting tourists like him. But the former Fox 29 meteorologist says that experience was marred by a Philadelphia magazine online report that he defecated himself, as one of his alleged scammers testified in court. "Number one, it didn't happen," Bolaris told us over the weekend. "If it did happen, I would say it happened," he said. "I was so taken back and thrown for a loop. All the good and all the agony, this is what comes out before I testify," he says of the report by Philly mag's Victor Fiorillo.
