Stephen Gately Announces Civil Partnership Plans

January 2006 -- Although married in their hearts since their 2003 commitment ceremony at the Viva Las Vegas wedding chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada, Stephen Gately, a former member of Boyzone, one of the UK's top-selling boy bands of the late 90's, and his love Andy Cowles have decided to make their union official with a civil partnership ceremony.

The couple was so moved by the wedding of David Furnish and Elton John, who played matchmaker for Stephen and Andy, that plans are now in the works for a 2006 ceremony to be held in Dublin, Ireland.
