Europe minister Chris Bryant to make parliamentary history with same-sex ‘wedding’
By Michael Savage, Independent
The Palace of Westminster will make a break with tradition this month when it hosts a civil partnership ceremony for the first time.
The Europe minister Chris Bryant will form a civil partnership with Jared Cranney, a company secretary, on 27 March. Mr Bryant said: "It is something I really never thought would happen. It was illegal to be gay when I was born. We're really excited about it. I've never had to worry about flowers or cakes before."
The date was confirmed after John Bercow, the Speaker, secured a licence to hold the services within the parliamentary estate. The licence will also allow members of the public to marry within the grounds.
