You thought Angelina and Brad were celebrity wedding ninjas? Well, Neil Patrick Harris and his longtime fiance David Burtka got secretly married in Italy this weekend, which he announced on Twitter this morning. Harris and Burtka have been together for 10 years now and are the fathers of 4-year-old twins — repeatedly showing us time and time again that they are the cutest family ever. This is awesomely happy news, Mazel tov to the newlyweds!
UPDATE: From Kelly Ripa via E! News:
With Harris’ permission, Ripa revealed that “it was a beautiful, beautiful family affair in Perugia, Italy.” The bubbly blond said, “They rented a castle—or, I think they rented it! I hope we didn’t break into a castle. It was a really beautiful. Sir Elton John performed. There were fireworks. The food was amazing.”
“There were magic tricks, because you know, Neil is way into magic,” Ripa added.
The couple’s close friend Pam Fryman, who served as a director and producer on How I Met Your Mother, officiated the wedding ceremony.

I thought they were already married! This is great news. They seem really happy together
I’m kind of surprised Italy does same-sex marriages. I guess it really is the 21st century…some places.
Why did I already think they were too? I must have conflated their adoption with marriage. Good for them!
@Cat McIntyre I knew they weren’t married yet, but it feels like they’ve been together forever. I’m sure NPH considered himself “off the market” for a while now.
I was under the impression that one or both of them had already put the ‘d’ in ‘husband’. But in all seriousness, good for them. They seem like better parents than most of my friends had growing up.
Happy for Neil and David…but…confused.
Same Sex Marriage is not legal in Italy.
Is it????
Can anyone explain this to me?
I’m so proud of you Neil congratulations and your a great actor on how i met your mother. :)
