Sir Elton John Weds David Furnish

Elton 2Sir Elton John has married his longtime partner David Furnish. The couple upgraded their civil union to a marriage on their ninth anniversary.

The couple entered into a civil union nine years ago, but on Sunday they took advantage of the new laws in the United Kingdom that allow people to transfer their unions to being a marriage.
