Ian, companion marry

TORONTO, Aug. 28 (UPI) -- Two-time Grammy winner Janis Ian has tied the knot with her long-time companion, attorney Patricia Snyder, in a civil ceremony in Toronto.

Authors Mike Resnick and George R.R. Martin, along with a few other close friends, witnessed the Wednesday ceremony.

Ian is best-known for her 1975 hit, "At 17." She and Snyder, who practices law in Nashville, Tenn., together manage the Pearl Foundation, which provides college scholarships for people who have been out of school for more than five years and want to go back.

Ian has a new album coming out in October -- a double-live CD to be released by Oh Boy Records, titled, "Working Without a Net."
