Equal Marriage

I noticed today that our registrar Stella Truby based here in Bakewell Town Hall was taking down this sign to be replaced with, well she's not sure yet as there isn't anything available with the new wording on it!

Here's the official government announcement:-

Equal marriage

The first same sex weddings will be able to take place from Saturday 29 March 2014 (subject to the approval of Parliament). This follows the passing of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013, which received Royal Assent on 17 July 2013.

The Government announced the timetable for implementing equal marriage on 10 December 2013. Same sex couples who want to be among the first to marry will need to give formal notice of their intention to marry on Thursday 13 March 2014.
