Short story:
Paul Simon marries actress Carrie Fisher in a traditional Jewish ceremony in the singer's apartment overlooking Central Park, New York City, USA.
Full article:
Paul Simon : It was Carrie's idea. She said, when we were touring last fall, "Let's do it right now. Let's agree that we'll solve our problems, we won't leave when we're frustrated or angry." And I, of course, said "What? Get married in an odd-numbered year? Why not wait till '84?" My style is to procrastinate. It just made me real nervous. I had been married and divorced and found it really painful.
But Carrie got frustrated, and she was preparing to leave again. And then I went to a twilight double header at Yankee Stadium. I always get very calm with baseball. And by the seventh inning, it was eight to one, Yankee, I said, "even if Guidry gets in trouble, the Goose will save us."
So I was feeling very secure, on my second beer. And I thought, “Well, come on, Paul; you're going to do it, you're going to do it!” I'd always loved Carrie, even when we were most separated. After the game, I went home and said to her, "All right, let's do it." five days later, we were married. And immediately; I felt a sense of relief.
