LONDON (Reuters) - 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 newstands on Friday, John said the ceremony would be a small, private affair involving only himself and Furnish and their parents acting as witnesses.
"Out of respect for their (our parents') support, we want to just keep it small -- not to make a ballyhoo of the ceremony," he told the gay lifestyle magazine.
"There will be a party somewhere, but the day will be very low key and we'll take our parents to lunch afterwards."
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.

the bitch is back.
How thweet.
AND please No Pictures!
Must be going to Vermont?
wait a sec! hold the phones!!! Elton John is gay???
That's too bad. For years, he personally struggled with that emotional disorder and tried to hide it. Too bad he didn't have the support he needed to over come it. In liberal land ... he was encouraged to continue on the road to hell.
If I am not mistaken, this is Elton's second "marriage."
His first marriage was a brief but straight one.
I wish a joyous day for Elton, his partner and their families. I respect Elton for his choice of a dignified ceremony and family celebration as opposed to a gaudy gay gollywood gala.
Nothing wrong about an official GAY rite establishing committed relationship - it's just NOT MARRIAGE.
Retch.
lol. Hard to believe, isn't it?
I don't know where you were, dear, but he's been public about being 'non-standard' since the 70s.
This "union" won't last. He'll get drained of his wealth and be abandoned.
He's been with David since the 80s. This is no flash in the pan fling. It's already outlasted most marriages, both inside and outside the entertainment business.
Hey- don't make fun of Princess Diana! She was a great woman. Some people are famous for singing, or dancing, or other trivial things like that. Diana was famous for wearing pretty dresses and she once touched an AIDS patient! Of course, they called a press conference 30 minutes before she did, and her last words as she was speeding in her car were- "Step on it- lose those (*^*&^&!"
Shame on you.
I guess he really is a rocketman.
As it is posted above, one of Elton John's motivating reasons for this marriage, is as a TAX BREAK. Not solely for love.

I hope he has his beau sign a pre-nup agreement. I wonder, if these new changes in the British tax law opens some doors that weren't available in the past for homosexuals who split from one another. Remember how Marvin Mitchelson, open the doors, for non married couples with the palimony laws, that he influenced to create during the 1980's with Lee Marvin.
Will the Wedding Cake be Fudge??
