Elton John and Furnish planning low-key wedding

Elton John and his partner David Furnish are aiming for a “low-key” wedding in May following a change in Britain’s laws that allows same-sex marriages.

The couple, who underwent a civil partnership in 2005 on the day such ceremonies were introduced, said family and friends had been eager to hear about their plans.

In an interview for US television, Elton said: “We’ll do it very quietly. But we will do it and it will be a joyous occasion and we will have our children.”
