Sir Elton John and David Furnish were
today officially married, exactly nine years after they entered into a civil
partnership.
They made up their minds to take the
relationship to the next level and then got the knot tied in a romantic
ceremony right in the presence of family, friends, numerous celebrities and of
course, their sons Zachary, three and Elijah, 23 months in England.
And the couple were so eager for the
whole world to share in their happiness they posted pictures to their Instagram
pages throughout the ceremony alongside the hashtag sharethelove.
In March, the law was changed in England and Wales to allow same-sex marriage.
Sir Elton said at the time he was "very proud" of Britain for changing the law.
"Having our civil partnership was an incredible breakthrough for people that have campaigned for a long time - through the 60s and the 50s in England when it was so hard to be gay and hard to be open about it. And it was a criminal act.
"So for this legislation to come through is joyous, and we should celebrate it. We shouldn't just say, 'Oh, well we have a civil partnership. We're not going to bother to get married'. We will get married."
