Two funny bones announce plans to marry
TV host, author, comedian and actor Stephen Fry recently announced plans to marry his partner, fellow comedian Elliott Spencer.
The announcement came via a tweet yesterday, in which Fry called it a “cat out of the bag”.
Oh. It looks as though a certain cat is out of a certain bag. I’m very very happy of course but had hoped for a private wedding. Fat chance!

The couple, who started dating in November 2013, made the formal application to marry on December 23 and have both taken to Twitter to thank their followers for the positive messages of support.
Thank you for all the lovely messages :) x x x

However, some have focused on the the 30-year age difference between the couple, especially UK tabloid outlets.

Does a significant age difference in a relationship matter?
