The Gay Wedding Guide has just celebrated its three year anniversary since our launch in October 2006!

To commemorate this special occasion we are now offering a fantastic package to advertising your listing on the Gay Wedding Guide.

 

 


With more and more suppliers and vendors opening up to the lucrative same sex wedding market, our enquiries on the site have been climbing steadily and strongly for 3 years now. We have received hits on our website from more 30 countries worldwide.

Same sex, civil ceremonies have started to flourish both locally and internationally – with beautiful South Africa as a sought after destination of recently married couples. We recently interviewed a young British couple, Celia and Natasha who had spent 3 weeks honeymooning in South Africa. While they found their accommodation venues to be generally gay friendly, they would have much felt more confident booking direct through the Gay Wedding Guide had venues been listed in their areas of preference.

We encourage you to make use the GWG’s celebration package to open up your business to a ready and waiting market. This special package will be available to the first 50 clients who take advantage of this bonus catagory deal.

At the very least, every company supplying the wedding industry should add their free listing to the GWG for an obligation free, no hidden agenda free listing!

Civil Union Bill approved in National Assembly

The historic Civil Union Bill which allows same-sex marriages was approved in the National Assembly in South Africa on Tuesday 14 November 2006.

Earlier this year the Constitutional Court set a deadline for 1 December for legislation to be passed by Parliament to legitimize same-sex marriages. The hotly debated bill was approved by 230 votes to 41 in the 400 member national assembly, but must now still be approved by Parliament's second house, the National Council of Provinces, before it can be signed into law by President Thabo Mbeki.

South African High Court Says Yes to Gay Marriage
By Ross von Metzke

(Johannesburg, South Africa) – The high court of South Africa ruled Thursday that same-sex marriages will enjoy the same legal status as those between men and women, making the nation one of just five worldwide that have removed legal barriers to gay and lesbian unions.
But the Constitutional Court effectively stayed its ruling for one year to give Parliament time to amend a 1961 marriage law. Should legislature balk, the court said the law will be automatically changed to make its provisions gender-neutral.
