HEARTWARMING-----Elton John plans 'quiet' wedding This is London 24 November 2005 Sir Elton John and David Furnish are to "marry" in a private ceremony with only their parents as witnesses, they revealed today The couple's big day was expected to be a star-studded occasion attended by their celebrity friends, including the Beckhams and Liz Hurley. But they have decided to keep the ceremony uncharacteristically low-key - although they will follow it up with a lavish evening reception. Sir Elton said: "The ceremony itself will be very private. That much we know. It'll be a very small family affair and then in the evening there'll be a soiree somewhere, which we have yet to work out. "But the ceremony itself will be David's parents and my parents and the two of us. They'll be our witnesses. That's the way we want to do it. They've been so fantastic to us and so supportive. Out of respect for their support, we want to just keep it small. Not to make a ballyhoo of the ceremony. "There will be a party somewhere, but the day will be very low-key and we'll take our parents to lunch afterwards. "I haven't thought so much about the emotional side of it yet, but I'm sure this is going to be an incredibly emotional day." Sir Elton and Furnish, a Canadian-born film-maker, have been together for 12 years. They will tie the knot on December 21, becoming one of the first same-sex couples to "marry" following the introduction of the Civil Partnership Act. Furnish told Attitude magazine: "As far as I'm concerned, I've always considered myself committed to Elton and he's the person that I want to spend the rest of my life with. So in that sense I don't feel like the dynamic of our relationship is going to change. "But from a social standpoint, I think it's hugely significant. It is a major, major change. It is one of the defining issues of our times. And I applaud Britain for embracing the diversity of our society." • The full interview is published in the December issue of Attitude, on sale tomorrow. Related stories
