Elton John, partner tie the knot
Windsor — Britain's most famous gay couple — Sir Elton John and Canadian filmmaker David Furnish — tied the knot on Wednesday in a star-studded event that capped the first week of civil partnership ceremonies in the United Kingdom.
Cameras flickered as hordes of photographers and fans huddled together in the cobbled streets around Windsor's town hall, the Guildhall, where Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles wed in April.
Sir Elton, 58, and Mr. Furnish, 43, walked out smiling, waving and raising their thumbs after the ceremony as an attendant threw rice at the couple.
The couple are among hundreds of same-sex couples to wed in civil partnerships in England and Wales on Wednesday, the first day that such ceremonies became possible. Ceremonies were held earlier this week in Northern Ireland and Scotland.
