Elton John and David Furnish plan to get married
Elton John and David Furnish are planning to get married in May now that same-sex marriage is legal in the UK.
Furnish wrote about marriage in Attitude magazine:
“When it was announced that gay couples were able to obtain a civil partnership, Elton and I did so on the day it came into law.
“As something of a showman, [Elton] is aware that whatever he says and does, people will sit up and take notice -so what better way to celebrate that historic moment in time.
“Our big day made the news, it was all over the internet within minutes of happening and front page news the next day.”
“Elton and I both think there is a massive difference between calling someone your ‘partner’ and calling them your ‘husband’. ”Partner’ is such an impersonal word and doesn’t adequately describe the love we have for each other.
“When Zachary and Elijah are grown up and having children of their own, they will – hopefully – be living in a world where everyone can be equal, when being married isn’t about whether you’re straight or gay, but simply about being human.”

Since David is Canadian..they could have gotten legally married in Canada back in 2005 when it became legal in Canada
James says:
Greg, I thought they were married ages ago. I wish them all the best.
Charlie says:
I thought they were married as well. I’m sure it will be quite grand. I wonder if Madonna will be matron of honor?
