The 57-year-old comedian and his 27-year-old partner announced their marriage via micro-blogging site Twitter. Laurie, Fry's long time friend and collaborator, was among the first to offer his congratulations, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Laurie tweeted: "Bloody hell it's happened! @ElliottGSpencer has made an honest man of m'col. Love and happiness to all!!"
After announcing their marriage, Fry tweeted: "Oh and @ElliottGSpencer and I had our vows witnessed by a mini Oscar Wilde. Because one should. #greencarnations"
Fry had earlier said that he was hoping for a "private wedding".
"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. Thank you all SO much for your kind congratulations. Deeply touched xxx (sic)," he had posted.
