There’s a note on Suzanne Vega’s website about her recent marriage to trial lawyer Paul Mills. In addition to coming as a blow to all of us who hoped to one day marry Suzanne Vega ourselves, the item suggests a very, very long engagement:

The couple met at Folk City on West 4th Street in 1981. Mr. Mills proposed to Miss Vega in May, 1983, and she accepted his proposal on Christmas Day, 2005.

It concludes:

This is the bride’s second marriage and the groom’s first, the last for both.

If you’ll be in New England at the end of May, you can catch Suzanne playing at the Mohegan Sun Casino “Wolf Den” in Uncasville, CT on May 31st and June 1, 2006. Be sure to visit The Old Farmer’s Almanac General Store while you’re there.
