Awesome Photo: Ian McKellen Marries Patrick Stewart And Bride
Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart's photo fest continues! After sharing fantastic pics of themselves with Elmo and atop the Empire State Building, the amazing X-Men duo shared a photo of McKellen officiating at Stewart's September 7 wedding to Sunny Ozell.
The ceremony took place overlooking the water at Lake Tahoe. Everyone seemed to be having a good laugh, as we imagine is always the case when you're hanging out with these fine fellows.
After Stewart and Ozell tied the knot, they tweeted a pic of themselves up their necks in a ball pit with the note, "Yes, married." The pair have been dating since 2009.
Stewart and McKellen return as Professor X and Magento, respectively, in the eagerly anticipated X-Men: Days of Future Past, out next May.

They also shared the stage in the Harold Pinter play No Man's Land, which opened in August in Berkeley. They're taking the play to Broadway next, and will also star in the absurdist classic Waiting for Godot.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help.

LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
