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

Well at least he knows what his “Special Purpose” is for.
i wonder if chevy chase was there...then again, i don’t think so.
chevy isn’t there even when he’s there and hasn’t been for a long time.. ;-)
While I deplore his tendency toward remakes, I have always admired his talent. Hoping they’re happy!
Remember Bernadette Peters? RrrRRRroooOoorRRrRwww.
it might have been worth it since it is one of the greatest movies ever.

Mmmmm... she had nice cans
Bernadette Peters is quite underrated. I love her!
the only woman i find more annoying than bernadette peters in madeline kahn. i have no idea why. ever since i was a kid i couldnt stand them. absolutely no reason for it. they are both monumentally talented. especially madeline kahn in “clue.”
Are you kidding? I loved Madeline Kahn! She was hilarious!
i said i loved her in “clue!” but she was always a little too dead pan for me i guess. but truth be told i haven’t seen too much of her stuff. i haven’t even seen blazing saddles front to back! too young i guess.

Go Steve!
Check out Young Frankenstein. That is one of my favorites. I’ll need to check out Clue as I have never seen that one.
Who was she in “Young Frankenstein”?
