Hugh Hefner, fiancée obtain marriage licence
LOS ANGELES, USA (AP) — Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris are again taking steps toward the altar, more than a year after the centrefold cancelled their previous engagement and was branded a ‘runaway bride’ in Playboy.
The couple obtained a marriage licence on Tuesday at a courthouse in Beverly Hills.
Harris called off the couple’s previous engagement in June 2011, prompting Playboy to affix ‘runaway bride’ stickers to an issue introducing her as Mrs Hefner.
Celebrity website TMZ first reported the couple’s licence. It says they reunited earlier this year and plan to wed on New Year’s Eve.
LA County Recorder Public Information Officer Elizabeth Knox says the licence is valid for 90 days.
The Playboy founder has been married twice before. His spokeswoman Teri Thomerson didn’t immediately return a message.
