Elton John Sets Date for Windsor Ceremony

November 2005 -- On December 21, 2005, pop icon Elton John and his partner of more than a decade David Furnish will usher in the new era with a civil union ceremony to be held at MacDonald Castle Hotel in Windsor.

Only moments away from Windsor Castle, the Georgian edifice is situated on Windsor High Street directly opposite Guidhall, where Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles pledged their troth in April 2005. Civil ceremonies with up to 60 attendees can be conducted in either the Sandringham or Balmoral suites of the hotel.

December 5, 2005 will mark the first day same-sex couples can register for civil partnerships in the UK. With the waiting period, December 21 will be the first day couples will take their vows.
