Joyce Carol Oates confirms her Gothic sensibilities by secretly marrying fiance Charlie Gross on Friday the 13th (March 2009) in a private, civil ceremony. Not wishing to “rouse much of a fuss,” friends and relatives were not invited.
Congratulations Joyce & Charlie!

Saw them together at B&N about six weeks ago. They seem totally devoted to each other, a loving couple.
Congratulations to both!

Congratulations, Joyce. Much happiness to you both. I was on a Greek Islands cruise when a huge fan of yours found out I went to school with you. He told me you had married.

Glad they found each other. He looks the part, like he would hold her in his arms and save her from the foggy foggy dew.
