Christopher took no vow, however, to return Augusten's calls
Congratulations to my literary agent and dear friend Christopher Schelling and his writer-client-lover, Augusten Burroughs, who tied the knot on April Fool's Day after several years of dating! The marriage was chronicled in the New York Times yesterday, but I found out on Friday night at a party that was billed as Christopher's 50th birthday celebration. After faking everyone out with the requisite black balloons -- and actually turning 50 -- Christopher announced the happy news to a packed room full of friends. Tony winner Alice Ripley and Skivvie with a bulge Nick Cearley later serenaded the couple with an a cappella version of "Eternal Flame," which reduced Bangles fan club members like me to tears. Congrats, guys! And since Chris specifically said NO PRESENTS on the invite, I'm posting this awkward-angle photo -- it's the only one I took!
