Arlington Native Dane Cook, 51, Marries Kelsi Taylor, 24, In Hawaii

ARLINGTON, MA — Stand-up comedian Dane Cook, who grew up in Arlington, got married Saturday to his longtime girlfriend Kelsi Taylor, several celebrity websites have reported.

Page Six reported that Cook, 51, and Taylor, 24, were married in an intimate ceremony — just 20 guests — on O'ahu, Hawaii. The pair had been dating for five years.

"We chose Hawaii because it has such a special place in our hearts and our relationship," Cook told PEOPLE magazine. "It was one of the first trips we ever went on together and we continue to go back often. It's such an oasis, and we couldn't be more excited to have spent our wedding week surrounded by the beauty of Oahu."

According to People magazine, the couple met at a game night at Cook's home and they got engaged in the summer of 2022.

At the ceremony, the bride entered to the song "Marry Me" by Train. After saying their "I do's" the couple exited to "You Make My Dreams" by Hall & Oats, according to People.

During the ceremony, 80s music played all night.

"We both grew up listening to the 80s and it's such a massive part of our life! We've always bonded over it," Taylor told People.

Though the couple will leave Hawaii, Cook will be giving back to the islands by performing in a benefit show for the Maui Strong Fund, which is scheduled for Oct. 5 in Los Angeles.

Cook attended Arlington High School and has said in interviews that Arlington High School drama teacher Frank Roberts helped him "break out of his shell."

In addition to stand-up comedy, Cook has starred in movies like "Good Luck Chuck," "My Best Friend's Girl," and "Dan In Real Life."
