Wedding for Sir Elton
John and David Furnish
22 December 2005
After an 11 years relationship,
Mr. and Mr. Elton John are to marry on 21st December in Windsor. Elton
John and his longterm boyfriend David Furnish are preparing a low-key wedding,
with not a single showbiz guest.
Sir John declared for Attitude
magazine: “The ceremony will be his parents and my parents and the two
of us.
The day will be very low-key
and we'll take our parents to lunch afterwards.”

He revealed that stars including
Victoria Beckham, Liz Hurley and Sharon Osbourne had asked if they could
be bridesmaids.
The singer has praised Madonna's
decision to ban cameras on her wedding day, and promised to do the same,
even though the offer he has received from an American TV company was more
than tempting: £6million for exclusive rights to the civil partnership.
Reportedly, Elton John told
TV bosses: “Our love is sacred to us. It doesn't come with a price tag.”The
new law, that allows gay and lesbian couples to wed in Britain, is to come
into effect on December 5. From that day on, couples older than 16 can
change vows all over the country. Therefore, an avalanche of same-sex marriages
is expected.
Great Britain is about to
introduce a new civil law making gay ceremonies legal. Elton and his partner
David plan to take advantage of the new laws. |
