Love Starts at Midnight
Equal marriage begins at midnight in England and Wales, and the first same-sex ceremonies will be starting as I post this. I can't stop smiling.
I have never married, and don't expect to do so - I think it requires a combination of faith, hope and love which is probably beyond me. But I am nevertheless deeply satisfied that, if it ever came to it, the gender of my intended would no longer matter one way or the other.
I would like to send loving greetings and Britten's first Canticle to all those who are planning to marry this year, whether gay or straight, but especially to those marrying tonight, and to my niece, and to
toft.
Canticle I - My beloved is mine
Sung by Daniel Norman, with Christopher Gould on the piano.
