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.
