Pink Pound-ing

Soon, same-sex couples will be allowed to enter into civil partnerships in the UK. Now, everyone wants a piece of the wedding cake. Typical: everyone's always against the gays until you start waving "pink" cash about. Capitalism! (Isn't it grand?)

My two favorite snippets from this article are...

1) "We've had contact with some venues which are clearly reluctant [to host gay weddings] at the moment because they don't know what to make of it - I think they're worried they're going to get 50 guys shagging in the corner."

Frankly, I think that sounds like a great wedding reception, but maybe that's just my sex deprivation talking.

2) "Maybe in 10 years time we won't need to have gay wedding planners or gay companies at all - there will be just wedding planners. Now that would be a measure of equality."

First, just ten years? Ah, bless you, love! Second, thoughts immediately turned to a possible J. Lo The Wedding Planner sequel. That alone could set us back twenty years.
