Neil Patrick Harris weds

Neil Patrick Harris and partner David Burtka shocked fans recently when they got married in a romantic Italian ceremony, US Weekly reported.

"Guess what?" the How I Met Your Mother alum, 41, tweeted with a photo of the tux-clad couple during the service. "@DavidBurtka and I got married over the weekend. In Italy. Yup, we put the 'n' and 'd' in 'husband'."

Harris publicly came out as gay in 2006 and got engaged to actor and chef Burtka, 39, in September 2007. The couple has been dating since 2004. They are dads to twins Gideon and Harper, who were born via a surrogate mother in 2010.

Martina proposes to girlfriend, honors Serena

Martina Navratilova recently made a lot of news at tennis' U.S. Open.

The tennis legend popped the question to girlfriend Julia Lemigova on the big screen at the tournament, according to 9News.com .au. The 57-year-old proposed in a TV suite off-court in between the men's semifinals to the cheers of fans who watched on live.

The pair have been together for six years and hope to get married in Florida, where they live. While not yet legal, a judge recently ruled that the state's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional.

Also, Navratilova and fellow tennis icon Chris Evert honored Serena Williams, who tied them with 18 Grand Slam wins after winning the women's side of the U.S. Open on Sept. 7. They gifted Williams with an 18-karat gold Tiffany & Co. bracelet to mark the milestone.
