Stephen Fry, an English actor, married Elliot Spencer in a private wedding on January 17, 2015. Fry and Spencer married in a private ceremony in Dereham, Norfolk, that was meticulously prepared.
The Wilde actor explained why they chose Dereham as their wedding location: “We chose it because it’s a tiny market town,” he said.
What made news, though, was the fact that the actor’s husband is 30 years his junior. Given their large age difference, the couple’s marriage was widely publicized. Stephen Fry and Elliott Spencer during a pre-Bafta event For the first time as a married pair
