Wow what an incredible ceremony - a real gay wedding on Channel 4! My girlfriend and I cried most of the way through. Whilst it may have been a little cringy at times, such as the registrar singing and whilst it may have been a bit stereotypically gay – it was historic and legendary. The support from family with their mothers singing, friends and celebrities was awe inspiring including Olivia Newton John, The Feeling, Boy George, Lesley Garrett, Ana Matronic and John Snow even sung his heart out in aid of the cause!
There is no doubt about it - we witnessed an event that is so much more than simply an event. The flashing facts on the screen were shocking, poignant and powerful.
Although most of us know how much has changed for us in the United Kingdom it is always emotional to re-read them. At the same time my heart was pulling with a sense of guilt and pain for those who still do not have the rights and liberties that we do. We must remember how lucky we are and support, campaign and fight for those who still suffer and deserve our privileges.
I hope to hear about all the lobster weddings as and when they happen. In the meantime I am already visually planning mine.
