Gone in 60 seconds: unsingles toast each other, post ceremony.

CAMBRIDGE, MA--Putting an end to rumors and months of speculation, a Deily family spokesperson confirmed today that Ben Deily and his longtime companion, Lisa Marie Deily (née Nowicki), have "amicably" agreed to no longer not be married to each other.

"It's really the best thing for both of them," added the spokesperson. "They've been growing in the same direction for quite some time now, and a legally-binding marriage seemed to be the only way to go at this point."

"They're both still the best of friends," he added.

The new marriage formally ends several years of unmarried cohabitation. (The couple first became unmarried in late 2004.)

Not to be entered into lightly, but reverently, discreetly, advisedly, blah blah blah...
