Well it seems that David Letterman and his girlfriend of 23 years finally got married.  My question at this point is “What’s the point?”  They have been together for 23 years and all was fine, they have a 5 year old son so why get married now?  I guess the time was finally right maybe.  Who knows?

David Letterman, host of the late night American television show Late Show with David Letterman, has married his girlfriend of 23 years, he told studio audience during a taping of his show on Monday.

Letterman, 61, announced he and Regina Lasko, with whom he has a five-year son, were wed in a courthouse ceremony in Choteau in Teton County, Montana last week, near the ranch they own together.

“They say, ‘Well, why did it take you so long to get married?’ and, of course, the answer honestly is we wanted to make sure we had the prenup just right,” Letterman joked. Letterman and Lasko began their relationship in 1986. Their son, Harry, was present for the ceremony. The late night talk show host previously swore off marriage after his 1977 divorce with Michelle Cook.

“I secretly felt that men who were married admired me … like I was the last of the real gunslingers,” Letterman said during his Monday show, where he made the announcement shortly after congratulating Bruce Willis for getting married last week.

Letterman told the audience he nearly missed the ceremony because his truck became stuck in mud two miles from their house. The ceremony was delayed one hour while Letterman walked back in 50 mile per hour winds to get his car. “And the whole way, I’m thinking, ‘See … you try to get married and this is what happens,’” he said.

I do wish him and his new wife the best of luck.  They have practiced long enough that it should work or at least you would think it would work out.  The funny thing is that sometimes when people live together for years like that and then get married, it all seems to fall apart for some reason.  I hope that doesn’t happen with them.
