Let them eat cake! Stephen Fry and husband Elliot Spencer share intimate wedding snaps
THEY wed in an intimate ceremony this weekend and Stephen Fry has shared a picture of himself and husband Elliot G Spencer cutting their wedding cake.
The TV star, 57, and his new husband, 27, looked thrilled to be cutting into a very modest but beautiful-looking cake at what looks like their home together.
Standing side-by-side, the couple shared the knife as they sliced the fig-topped patisserie with a red ribbon around its edge.
Elliot had changed out of his smart jacket and into a knitted jumper, while Steven continued to wear the clothes he wed in earlier that day.
He captioned the shot: "On Saturday afternoon we did have cake, @ElliottGSpencer and I. And it was good."
In the background of the picture was a piano, and the dining table was dressed ready for dinner.
The newlyweds only confirmed their engagement in the New Year but tied the knot fairly quickly.
The comedian uploaded a photo of himself and Elliot at a registry office with the caption: "Gosh. @ElliottGSpencer and I go into a room as two people, sign a book and leave as one. Amazing."
The couple have known each other some time and began dating last summer.
Oh and @ElliottGSpencer and I had our vows witnessed by a mini Oscar Wilde. Because one should. #greencarnations pic.twitter.com/0b9nh48te0

Stephen said he had been "deeply touched" by the support from his fans since the engagement was announced.
He said: "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."
Elliot is said to have "put a smile back on the Stephen’s face", after years of the actor suffering from depression.
