David Letterman Marries Girlfriend, Regina Lasko

On the David Letterman show on Monday, Letterman tells his audience that he married his longtime girlfriend, Regina Lasko. Letterman, 61, and Lasko, 48, stood before a justice of the peace on March 19 in Choteau, Montana. Their 5 year old son, Harry was also there.

Letterman acknowledged that he never thought of getting married. "I had avoided getting married pretty good for, like, 23 years," he said during taping, "and I ... secretly felt that men who were married admired me, like I was the last of the real gunslingers."

David Letterman even joked about how fate tried to stop him. When he and his girlfriend were on their way to the courthouse though, their truck got stuck in mud. "So now we think: Well, somebody'll come," he said. "No, nobody ... comes along. Nobody comes along. It's Thursday afternoon, who's coming along, Zorro? No, nobody – so I get out of the truck and I walk two miles back to the house into a 50 mile per hour. It's not Beverly Hills, it's Montana, for God's sakes. And the whole way, I'm thinking: See, smart ass, see, see, you try to get married, this is what happens."

When he went back to pick up Lasko and Harry, his son asks if they were still going into town. "And I said, 'Yes, we are,' " recounted Letterman, "and he gets very upset because mom had told him if I wasn't back in an hour, the deal was off."

I always thought he was single. Congrats to the two of you anyway!
