David Letterman and Regina Lasko Married

David Letterman is explaining details behind his surprise wedding last week!

Letterman said on his TV show on Monday night, “On Thursday, at 3 p.m., March 19, 2009 at the Teton County Courthouse in Choteau, Montana, I was married to Regina Lasko.”

He told the audience,

“Regina and I began dating in February of 1986, and I said, ‘Well, things are going pretty good, let’s 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 me â€¦ like I was the last of the real gunslingers, you know what I’m saying?”

Letterman told the TV audience that he, Regina, and their son Harry got in a pickup truck to go to the courthouse and then things started to go awry.

“We’ve got to drive into the courthouse and it’s muddy, and we’re supposed to be there at 2, and it’s me, Regina and Harry in the truck, in the pickup truck â€¦ So we get two miles from the house and we get stuck in the mud – I mean, turn the truck over, stuck in the mud.”

He explains that he walked two miles back to his home “into a fifty mile per hour wind,” and said that he thought to himself,

“See, smart ass, see, see, you try to get married, this is what happens. See, well, you’ve got nobody to blame but yourself. Could have happened any other day, but you wait now, see, this is what you get.”

After he managed to get a different car to get back to his wife and son, he said, “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 wasn’t back in an hour, the deal was off.”
