Matt Lucas, star
of the television comedy series Little Britain, tied
the knot with his partner, TV producer Kevin McGee, in
a civil ceremony on Sunday. Lucas, 32, and McGee,
30, emerged holding hands from a private club in
central London after the ceremony and posed for
pictures.
His Little
Britain costar, David Walliams, television
presenter Dale Winton, and comic Rob Brydon were among the
celebrity guests at the ceremony, which was followed by a
pantomime-themed reception.
The United
Kingdom introduced civil partnerships for same-sex
couples late last year, but--unlike in Belgium, the
Netherlands, Spain, and Canada--the
couples do not have the status of marriage.
Last year singer
Elton John and his partner, David Furnish, also made use
of the new legislation. (Reuters)
