Neil Patrick Harris married boyfriend David Burtka in Italy

Actor, Neil Patrick Harris, and boyfriend of more than ten years, David Burtka finally tied the knot this past weekend in Italy.

Harris, who is best known for playing Barney Stinson in the television comedy series How I Met Your Mother took to his Twitter account to announce the exciting news.

The actor wrote, "Guess what? @David Burtka and I got married over the weekend. In Italy. Yup, we put the 'n' and 'd' in husband."

Back in 2011, the couple who are also parents of 3 1/2 year-old-twins Harper Grace and Gideon Scott, announced their engagement via Twitter after the passage of the Marriage Equality Act in New York. According to E online , the couple were dressed in custom Tom Ford tuxedos, and friend Pam Fryman, producer and director of How I Met Your Mother officiated the ceremony. And also had a special performance at their reception by Elton John!

In 2006, Harris told Details Magazine, that he thought he'd always be single. But it wasn't until he came across fellow actor Burtka.

"It's all baby steps: You have to be OK with telling your friends you're going on a date, you have to be OK with the people in your world meeting and judging them, you have to be OK with breakups," the "How I Met Your Mother" star said at the time. "I'm infinitely grateful all those steps led to Mr. Burtka -- once we started talking, we never stopped."

Congratulations to the couple!
