Anne Fadiman, a Writer, Wed to George Howe Colt (Published 1989)

Anne Fadiman, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Fadiman of Santa Barbara, Calif., and Captiva, Fla., was married yesterday to George Howe Colt, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Colt of Dedham, Mass. Dr. Robert Berson, the leader of the Ethical Culture Society of Northern Westchester, officiated at the couple's New York home.

The bride is a magazine writer and will retain her name. She graduated with honors from Harvard University, as did her husband. In 1987, while a staff writer for Life magazine, she won the National Magazine Award for reporting. The article explored the issue of whether the terminally ill elderly have the right to take their own lives.

Her father, who was the master of ceremonies of the radio program ''Information Please'' in the 1930's and 1940's, has been an editor, anthologist and critic and is currently a senior judge of selections for the Book-of-the-Month Club.

Her mother, Annalee Whitmore Jacoby Fadiman, has been a screenwriter for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, a World War II correspondent for Time magazine and a co-author with Theodore H. White of ''Thunder Out of China,'' a book on the Chinese civil war.

Mr. Colt, who received a master's degree in creative writing from Johns Hopkins University, is a staff writer for Life magazine. His book, ''November of the Soul: A Study of Suicide,'' is to be published next month by Summit Books. His father is the director of development at the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, Mass.; his mother, Elizabeth Colt, is an art and English teacher at the Noble and Greenough School in Dedham.
