‘On Thursday, at 3pm, March 19, 2009, at the Teton County Courthouse in Choteau, Montana, I was married to Regina Lasko,’ he told the audience.

‘Regina and I began dating in February of 1986, and I said, “Well, things are going pretty good, let's just see what happens in about ten years...”’

‘I had avoided getting married pretty good for, like, 23 years, and I - honestly, whether this happened or not - I secretly felt that men who were married admired me…like I was the last of the real gunslingers, you know what I'm saying?’

David and Regina, 48, are parents to son Harry, 5.
