After 10 years of waiting, Neil Patrick Harris marries David Burtka
Is it just us or are Hollywood celebrities really developing a taste for hush-hush destination weddings? This time, How I Met Your Mother star and theatre personality Neil Patrick Harris married long-time partner David Burtka over the weekend in Italy.
Hush-hush weddings (read hush-hush destination weddings) seem to be the latest fad with celebrities in Hollywood. Only two weeks ago we saw Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt marry without letting media get even the slightest whiff of the ceremony in France and now there is this.
Harris let the cat out of the bag by tweeting: "Guess what? David Burtka and I got married over the weekend. In Italy. Yup, we put the 'n' and 'd' in 'husband'".
