Harris’ representative tells PEOPLE that they celebrated their marriage ceremony in Italy. One of the highlights of the festive evening was a special performance at the reception by Sir Elton John.
The couple was thrilled in 2011 when New York legalized gay marriage and paved the way for their eventual nuptials.
Planning for their children
Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka are the parents of twins named Harper Grace(daughter) and Gideon Scott(son). The twins, now 4 years old, were born via surrogacy.
“It’s a lot harder for gay guys to have kids, although we tried!”
“There were two different women involved. There was an egg donor, a wonderful woman who was anonymous. We took two of our best guys and implanted them into her eggs, two different eggs.”
And then, of course, there was the surrogacy who carried the babies to term, giving birth to Gideon and Harper in October 2010. And both parents love their children beyond infinity.

Infinite love between Neil and David
“I was always around when he was around, hoping the stars would align. When we all hung out for the first time — I was invited by Kate to an American Idol viewing party — I just stammered around him. I couldn’t take my eyes off him. There’s something almost kinetic about him and his being.” said Harris.
“I ended up breaking with my boyfriend, and a week later, Neil and I had a date… We started hanging out every single night, and after three months, it was just non-stop. We talk on the phone at least eight times a day and text at least 25 times a day.” said Burtka.
