Gay Marriage in United Kingdom

Gay marriage has only recently been legalised in the UK.

The legislation to allow same-sex marriage was passed in July 2013 and came into effect in March 2014.

The first official gay marriage took place on the 29th of March 2014. 

Note
Prior to this same-sex couples who wished to solidify their union would have to enter into a civil partnership. 
This gave them the same rights as married couples however they were not allowed to refer to themselves as 'married.'
