On Sunday morning Dec 21,2014 Sir Elton John and
David Furnish were officially married, exactly nine years after they
entered into a civil partnership
They
tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in front of family, friends,
numerous celebrities and of course, their sons Zachary, three and
Elijah, 23 months.
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.
On 21 December 2005, they held a civil partnership ceremony at the Windsor Guildhall.
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."
