HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Actors Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka were married in a private ceremony in Italy last September after being together for 10 years. They have two kids.

On February 22, Oscar Night, Patrick, 41 and Burtka, 39 will renew their marriage vows in front of hundreds of witnesses at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles and before millions of television viewers worldwide.

Patrick is this year’s Oscar host.  The  renewal of vows will immediately follow his opening monologue.

This is not the first time that a same-sex wedding will be officiated on live national (and international) TV.  During last year’s Grammy’s, Queen Latifah officiated wedding vows to 33 couples, including same-sex partners. A performance by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Madonna provided the music background for the mass ceremony.

Patrick and Burtka have chosen John Travolta (of the “Adele Dazeem” fame at last year’s Oscars) to officiate the renewal of their wedding vows.

Let’s hope Travolta doesn’t mess up with David’s name and introduce him as Kurt Jabbar or some other gibberish.
