Sir Elton's big day

Congratulations to this couple. Every one of us should find a partner, a lover, a husband/wife to enrich our life. To grow older, to share happiness and sadness, to be there - beside him/her to support... blah blah blah, if you know what I meant. End of it: FIND SOMEONE! - in conditional. If you can live alone in better way, do it. Otherwise, based on my experience, stable relationship is good for me!!! Again, congratulations to new couple!!!
Sir Elton John and David Furnish's civil partnership ceremony has taken place at the Guildhall in Windsor. The singer, 58, emerged with his partner, 43, to pose for photos and wave to hundreds of well-wishers.
Arm-in-arm, they blew kisses at the throng and accepted gifts before leaving in a black Rolls-Royce. The ceremony - to be followed by a party at the singer's nearby mansion - came on the first day same-sex unions become legal in England and Wales. Sir Elton, 58, and Mr Furnish are among 700 gay couples joining in a civil partnership on Wednesday. Similar ceremonies took place first in Northern Ireland on Monday, then in Scotland on Tuesday.
The couples will be granted new rights in areas such as employment, pension and inheritance. But the partnerships are not officially regarded as marriages under UK law. The couple arrived seven minutes early for the 1100 GMT service in a black saloon car with tinted windows. They were preceded by a small number of guests, including the British video artist Sam Taylor-Wood.
Ms Taylor-Wood - who arrived with Jay Joplin, owner of the White Cube Gallery in London - entered the Guildhall with Arthur, Mr Furnish's black-and-white dog, on a lead. After the service the happy couple were showered with rice on the steps of the Guildhall. Two young women managed to break through the police cordon to present them with an apple ice-cream cake.
Asked how the ceremony went, Sir Elton said: "Great, thanks." From:BBC

Elton John hold a concert in Taipei on 23rd of September 2005. It wasn't an easy start due to rude media culture. Therefore, media was specialized on what he said also cut off his word to make news titles. However, look at Winnielin's and Ou's blog posts, at least, it's a happy ending. Again, I was embarrassed on TW's media culture. I wonder why it goes so bad.
