Peggy Sue Olson got married!

After a 10-month engagement, Mad Men star Elisabeth Moss and Saturday Night Live funnyman Fred Armisen tied the knot in New York yesterday—the one-year anniversary of Jon Hamm's SNL hosting stint, a date that also happened to be the very first meeting of the newlyweds.

Moss' rep confirmed to E! News that the duo swapped vows at The Foundry in Long Island City yesterday. Moss modeled a Claire Pettibone gown in a ceremony attended by family and friends.

No word on whether those friends included Don Draper himself or any SNL cohorts; considering the couple's well-guarded privacy, we may never know.

Which means we'll just have to assume Armisen promised his Scientologist bride a pan, a comb and perhaps a cat.

In fact, we can thank a rather surprising source that their nuptials went public...

Whoopi Goldberg.

The View moderator made the announcement on air this morning, prefacing the good news with a clip of the ever coy Moss on Friday's show, being questioned by Barbara Walters as to when the impending "I do's" would be taking place.

"You're very warm, yes," Moss said after being asked whether the wedding would be "soon."

As Joy Behar quipped, she was more than warm. She was white-hot.

"Well, they got married yesterday," Goldberg announced. "So congratulations to the both of them."

And since details are scarce, Goldberg—Moss' onetime Girl, Interrupted costar—shared her vision of how she would have liked the wedding to go down.

"I have to say, I was kind of hoping he would be dressed as Joy for the wedding, just to come down the aisle," she said of SNL's resident Behar-impersonating groom.

"Do you take this woman, 'So what, who cares?' " Behar added.

It's unclear if the Moss-Armisens plan to embark on a honeymoon, though should they have the inclination, they certainly have the time.

SNL is on hiatus until Nov. 7, when Taylor Swift pulls double-duty as both host and musical guest. And for the rumor-killing record, NBC has already shot down reports that Kanye West will be making an appearance. Kanye impersonators, on the other hand…
