LONDON (AP) – Actor-comedian Stephen Fry married partner Elliott G. Spencer in eastern England.

The 57-year-old Fry sent a tweet to his 8 million followers Saturday, announcing he tied the knot.

“Gosh. @ElliottGSpencer and I go into a room as two people, sign a book and leave as one,” Fry said on his Twitter feed. “Amazing.”

Well-wishers tweeted their congratulations Sunday.

Fry announced his plans earlier this month to wed 27-year-old Spencer at the register office in Dereham, eastern England.

One of Britain’s best-known presenters, Fry first gained fame in the 1980s in a comedy duo with Hugh Laurie. He also wrote novels and appeared in the film, “The Hobbit.”
