Although the couple has been in a relationship for the last 21 years, they entered a civil partnership on December 21st, 2005, the day that the Civil Partnership Act came into force in the UK. And when same-sex marriage was legalized in the UK in March 2014, they got married on the anniversary of their civil partnership, December 21st, adding an element of poignancy to the ceremony.
