Elton John to wed partner in December

[Thom Little]

British pop star Elton John plans to marry his long term partner David Furnish on December 21, the first day that civil partnerships between gay couples will be possible in England.

In an interview in Attitude magazine, which hits the newsstands on Friday, John said the ceremony would be a small, private affair involving only himself and Furnish and their parents acting as witnesses.

.......

The Civil Partnership Act allows British same-sex couples to effectively marry when it comes into force on December 5.

Couples who want to wed under the act must post a notification at a registry office first, meaning that the first such ceremonies in England will take place on December 21.

.......

John added: "I haven't thought so much about the emotional side of it yet, but I'm sure this is going to be an incredibly emotional day."
