Are getting married!! (well sort of)
DD3 and SIL have been together for 12 years now. They are well suited. A few weeks ago they told the family and close friends that they will be not getting married as such, but having a civil partnership, next year.
They have been waiting, apparently, for civil partnerships to become legal in this country for heterosexual couples. They will be at the end of the year.
I am all for equality and it is only fair that if same sex couple have the choice of CP or marriage so should everyone.
None of us really understand why they are opting for this rather than marriage, but are not saying so to them. It is their choice and we are happy for them
The venue is booked for next June. They want it quite informal, with guests free to dress up or down as they please.
I will report back
