Steve Martin Weds In Los Angeles

Steve Martin married girlfriend Anne Stringfield during a ceremony at his Los Angeles home, his publicist said.

Guests including Tom Hanks and Diane Keaton were not told that Martin and Stringfield would wed when they were invited to his home for a "party."

Former Nebraska Sen. Bob Kerrey — a friend of Martin's — presided over Saturday's ceremony, Alan Nierob said. Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels was Martin's best man, he said.

Most of the roughly 75 guests — who included Tom Hanks, Diane Keaton, Eugene Levy, Carl Reiner and Ricky Jay — were not told that Martin and Stringfield would wed when they were invited to his home for a "party," Nierob said. The ensuing nuptials were a surprise to them, he said.

Martin, 61, was previously married to actress Victoria Tennant, whom he divorced in 1994 after about 8 years together, Nierob said. It was the first marriage for Stringfield, 35, a writer and former staffer for The New Yorker magazine. The two had dated for about three years, Nierob said.

Martin delivered his vows sporting an Inspector Clouseau mustache he let grow in for his appearance in the upcoming sequel to 2006's "Pink Panther" remake.

His other movies include "Planes, Trains & Automobiles," "L.A. Story," "Parenthood," and "Father of the Bride."

His novel "Shopgirl" was made into a 2005 film starring himself and Claire Danes.

The wedding was first reported by The Insider, a CBS celebrity news show.

I love and adore Steve Martin so I am absolutely thrilled for him! And how funny that he was sporting a Inspector Clouseau moustache!

I'm in the I Love Steve Martin fan club too, and although I'm crushed to hear he tired of waiting for me to say "yes," I'm happy he was finally able to move on. He went to my high school, and was well known for his intelligence and zany humor. He lived next door to my stepdad (by the time he was my stepdad, Steve had moved out of his parent's house), but I still remember the stories of how he painted a huge red tongue on their driveway. It sounds like he snagged a great lady, and I wish them many years of happiness.

That's too cool roses. I really like him too. One of my favorite movies of his was My Blue Heaven. It was Steve Martin at his best, much like The Jerk IMO.

I love Steve Martin too. What good news for a change in the celeb world.

My favorite movie was the Jerk and I am still known to run around yelling "the new phone books are here" every Sept., when our new phone book gets delivered.
Also loved All of Me and Parenthood and Father of the Bride. Well I love almost all his movies. The man with two brains nad pennies from heaven were my least favorites. Dirty Rotten scoundrels was also a funny one.

And his album "Let's Get Small" was also a favorite of mine.

Oh and I try to embarrass my daughter regularaly with my rendition of King Tut!

The Jerk is so full of memorable quotes! I have several I regularly use from it, also. I think I have 2 favorites from it...

"I have a special purpose"

And my #1 favorite multi-part one-liner () ... where he's walking out of the mansion after fighting with the wife (Bernadette) proclaiming how he doesn't need anything... well, except this stapler...I need this stapler, but I don't need anything else... walk..walk...I need this ball flipper...and this stapler, but I don't need anything else! (sniff, sob)...walk...walk...

And all the way out he keeps finding something else he needs til he gets to the dog, then the dog itself walks away from him.

I also remember Let's Get Small and his happy feet routine.

My friends and I sing the Thermos song and quote from The Jerk all the time. One of our favorites lines, like you, is "that's all I need" as we rattle off many, many things. You just can't beat a picture of a man, standing in his robe and boxers holding a chair, flipper, tv remote, etc.
