David Letterman Makes Rash Decision To Get Married

David Letterman has always struck me as so logical and rational, but hes gone hog-wild and married his girlfriend of twenty-three years. The transcript from tonights LateShow With David Letterman:

On Thursday, at 3 PM, March 19, 2009 at the Teton County Courthouse in Choteau, Montana, I was married to Regina Lasko.

Regina and I began dating in February of 1986, and I said, Well, things are going pretty good, lets just see what happens in about ten years.

I had avoided getting married pretty good for, like, 23 years, and I - honestly, whether this happened or not - I secretly felt that men who were married admired melike I was the last of the real gunslingers, you know what Im saying?

So now, we get ready to go and weve got to drive into the courthouse and its muddy, and were supposed to be there at 2, and its me, Regina and Harry in the truck, in the pickup truckSo we get two miles from the house and we get stuck in the mud I mean, turn the truck over, stuck in the mud. So now we think, Well, somebodyll come no, nobody comes along. Nobody comes along its Thursday afternoon, whos coming along, Zorro? No, nobody so I get out of the truck and I walk two miles back to the house into a 50 mile an hour wind. Its not Beverly Hills, its Montana, for Gods sakes. And the whole way, Im thinking, See, smart ass, see, see, you try to get married, this is what happens. See, well, youve got nobody to blame but yourself. Could have happened any other day, but you wait now, see, this is what you get. So then we get in the car and Harry says, Are we still going into town? and I said, Yes, we are, and he gets very upset because mom had told him if I wasnt back in an hour, the deal was off.

There arent too many pictures of his wife, Regina Lasko. I do have one in the photo gallery of the happy couple with their son, Harry.
