REV; OUR GAY WEDDG: THE MIL – TV REVIEW

Deep to middle age, I've learned somethg new about myself: I cry at gay weddgs.

My vigilance now extends to babi om televisn other weddg was Our Gay Weddg: The Mil (Channel 4), which has the tw advantag of beg both a real mil and a real weddg.

OUR GAY WEDDG: THE MIL

It was primarily a celebratn, but not whout a mpaigng edge: perdilly the backdrop illtrated highlights om the historil and ongog stggle for gay rights.

There was even room for a ltle dissent, cludg footage of a vir llg the legalisatn of gay marriage "untidy" – a neat piece of sophistry that uld have been clipped out of last night's episo of Gay Weddg stck me as a high-risk enterprise: the celebry quotient might have been irratg; ches might have robbed the ceremony of some of s solemny; the showg off might have unrmed the store of goodwill behd the project. Or that a gay marriage boilerplate wordg like "I do solemnly clare that I know of no lawful impediment" tak on profound signifince. As a mil, Our Gay Weddg wasn't perfect, but as a weddg was better than perfect.

The happy uple turned up om the register office their weddg gear wh a champagne-sippg, nfetti-throwg ngregatn behd them and proceed to make Reverend Smallbone's well-meant half-measure look like a very gay weddg ed.
