To celebrate the start of same-sex marriages in England and Wales later this month, Channel 4 is airing a musical wedding ceremony. No, really.
On March 29th, one of the UK’s very first same-sex marriages is set to be broadcast on television as a full-blown musical event – hosted by the one and only Stephen Fry.

Who would want their wedding turned into a musical? This couple of twelve years: Composer Benjamin Till and West End actor Nathan Taylor.

The grooms will be writing all the music for their special wedding event, which will air on Channel 4 as Our Gay Wedding: The Musical.
"This isn't a musical about our wedding, this is a musical celebration about the historical importance of March 29th; the first day gay men can legally marry in England and Wales," says the couple.
There will be musical vows, musical readings, and pretty much non-stop music. Plus, a full ensemble of family, friends, and "very special" surprise guests.
