Kelly Ripaย delivered some saucy news today when she shared on โLive with Kelly & Michaelโ about why she wasnโt at Joan Riversโ funeral this weekend, saying she, instead, was at Neil Patrick Harrisโ wedding to fiancรฉ David Burtka.
She said she was in Italy for the nuptials, while the funeral took place in New York. โI went to a destination weddingโthe wedding of Neil Patrick Harris and his partner David Burtka: breaking news!โ she revealed. โIt was a very quiet, very private, very family affair … I probably wasnโt even supposed to talk about it. No, Neil said I could talk!โ
Harris also tweeted the announcement, saying โGuess what? @DavidBurtka and I got married over the weekend. In Italy. Yup, we put the โnโ and โdโ in โhusbandโโ

Ripa added that it was at a rented castle and that Elton John also performed. People magazine reports that Harris, 41, and Burtka, 39, wore custom Tom Ford tuxedos and that their close friend and mentor Pam Fryman, the longtime director of “How I Met Your Mother,” officiated.
But none of that compares to the couple’s very own orange boy. This might be the cutest story ever: According to Ripa, โHarper was going to be the flower girl and Gideon was going to be the ring bearer, and he said, โI donโt want to be the ring bearer!โ And they said, โOK, well, what do you want to be?โ And he said, โI want to be the orange boy.โ And he passed out oranges to everybody as he came down the aisle. He came up with it on his own. He had his little tux and his top hat and he was passing out oranges.โ
