We are now Civil Partners

civil partnership getting readycivil partnershipcivil partnership ring exchangecivil partnership

Today on Friday 8 June at 3.00 pm in the British Consulate, Sydney, we became Civil Partners under British law. Eighteen friends and family witnessed our gay wedding and partied with us afterwards at the Dolphin Hotel in Surry Hills. We held our own kind of gay wedding, with wedding vows, wedding ring exchange and lots and lots of photos!

It is fantastic that the British Government recognises our gay relationship and that a British man, I can legally enter into a Civil Partnership in Sydney. It is sad that this Howard government does not recognise us as married citizens and denies us equal access to 98% of federal legislation. No wonder we are moving to Britain.

More photos to come and some words on how I feel about my new legal (UK) unrecognised (NSW) status!
