Well i think the partnership has good points in that it will make same sex couples have a say in monetriy terms and rights if one or the other is ill, being the next of kin.

Prolly in a few years the other half and i will sign the register once we live together , as we would be viewed as a couple and not 2 women living together.

Yes we will have a small gathering including both sides of the families and friends and it will be a celebration of what we mean to each other (and a chance for a good knees up LOL).

 

The way i look at it is if you get married in a church then thats in the eyes of god. Lots of people these days get married in a registar office so its legal but not so in the eyes of god for what ever reason (a non-believer, been married before etc).  So what if a couple wants to make a partnership be they hetro or same sex , its down to the indivudal and i for one am glad same sex couples will have the right to a legal cermoney or contract like hetro couples can have.

 

its all about showing and celebrating love for another human being with friends and family being present so they can share in a comitment that 2 people make to each other.
