Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka finally got married in Italy this weekend

Am I the only one out here who thought Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka were already married? I really thought they got married a few years ago? I guess I was hallucinating or something. David and NPH got hitched officially yesterday in Italy. Just like Kimye!! Just like Clooney/Alamuddin!! What’s with all the Italian weddings?

After 10 years and two kids together, Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka got married on Saturday, Sept. 6, PEOPLE has learned.

“We happily confirm that Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka were married in Italy in an intimate ceremony surrounded by their close friends and family,” Harris’s representative tells PEOPLE.

Confirmed Harris on Twitter: “Guess what? @DavidBurtka and I got married over the weekend. In Italy. Yup, we put the ‘n’ and ‘d’ in ‘husband.’ ”

Wearing custom Tom Ford tuxedos, the How I Met Your Mother star, 41, and Burka wed with close friend and mentor Pam Fryman, the long-time director of How I Met Your Mother, officiating. Also taking part in the celebration were the couple’s fraternal twins, Harper Grace and Gideon Scott, 3½. One highlight of the festive evening was a special performance at the reception by Sir Elton John.

The couple were thrilled in 2011 when New York legalized gay marriage and paved the way for their eventual nuptials.

“It PASSED! Marriage equality in NY!! Yes!! Progress!!” Harris Tweeted at the time, adding, “David and I did propose to each other, but over five years ago! We’ve been wearing engagement rings for ages, waiting for an available date.”

I thought they lived in LA? I mean, I know they have a place in NYC because Neil was doing Hedwig for several months, but I thought homebase for them was California. Maybe they’re bicoastal these days. Anyway, congrats to David and Neil. Congrats to Harper and Gideon too, I’m sure they enjoyed their daddies’ wedding.

    I also thought they got married…

    Anyway, congrats to them!

      I thought that too!!

      By the way, is such a marriage legal? Gay marriage is not legal in Italy, so maybe they got the licence in NY, the guy officiating the ceremony and then moved all together to Italy….

      By the way, considering the cost of weddings in Italy, marrying in Italy is definitively for the rich… that is why it is so trendy among celebs.

      • Rae says:

        If same sex marriage is not legal in Italy, I would assume they either had or will have a small civil ceremony in NY, and the wedding in Italy was just their dream wedding.

    The kids are cuties. I thought David had other kids from a previous relationship? Were they there?

    Congrats to them!
    (So much for all those tabloids trying to say they were having problem)

  13. Ellen says:

    Congrats!

    (I thought Neil did a Hedwig-promoting interview where he said they sold their place in CA and bought in NYC so that David could pursue more theater-acting jobs now that Neil’s commitments to HIMYM were done. Maybe I hallucinated that, though.)

    • Courtney says:

      David’s theater “career” haha. For some reason, that smug face house husband rubs me the wrong way. Neil can do better.

  14. Diana B says:

    Congrats!!! they are lovely together.

    That great for them and their beautiful children. They have the sweetest little family.

    • aqua says:

      Some couples are like that aren’t they?You automatically assume that they are married because they have been together for so long and are so comfortable together.

    trying to save their relationship I guess.

    • paranormalgirl says:

      or maybe they love each other enough to get married and there’s nothing wrong with their relationship
