Derry to host first ever gay marriage in Ireland and UK

Ireland's first-ever gay marriage is reportedly due to take place in Derry before the end of this year.

Reports this morning said the marriage would take place under British laws legalising same-sex unions that are due to come into force in December.

Derry's registrar of births, marriages and deaths has reportedly confirmed that he has already received one booking for a marriage under the new law, as well as a number of other inquiries.
