Sir Elton John tied tied the knot with his partner of 12 years, David Furnish, in a small ceremony Wednesday in the U.K.'s Windsor Guildhall. They formalised their vows the same day legislation went into effect legalizing civil partnerships in England and Wales. The eyes of the world were on on this famous couple today with over 300 photographers standing out from 6.00am.
The couple, dressed in traditional black suits, married in the presence of their parents, then came outside to be greeted by hundreds of happy onlookers and press. I think there are actually more for this wedding than Charles and Camilla who a few months previously married at the same place. Elton said his thanks to the supportive crowd, hopped into a black Rolls Royce, and headed off for a large reception with around 700 guests
The new legislation offers homosexuals many of the legal protections available to married heterosexuals. In lieu of gifts, the couple asked guests to give donations to their favorite AIDS charities.
They looked so happy on leaving...we wish them all the best for the future!!!
