Elton John plans
a lavish wedding

Once same-sex marriage becomes legal in the United Kingdom on December 21, Elton John plans to marry longtime partner David Furnish. And they're not going to elope. The singer tells The [London] Sunday Telegraph that while the couple plans a "low-key" wedding at John's estate in Windsor, the event will most certainly be a lavish one. "We won't try to hide it," he tells The Tele graph. "There's no point in that. It will be a celebration." It is thought that two of John and Furnish's closest friends, Elizabeth Hurley and Victoria Beckham, will be part of the wedding party, either as bridesmaids or groomsmen.
