Our Gay Wedding: The Musical
Tim Van Someren, Ellen Hobson, Claire Lewis
On March 29, 2014, same-sex marriage was made legal in England and Wales. Channel 4 marked this milestone by offering viewers front row seats at one of the first gay weddings. It was an extraordinary ceremony in more ways than one. Grooms Benjamin Till and Nathan Taylor wrote and staged their entire wedding as a musical — with sung vows, sung readings, a singing registrar and ensembles featuring the entire congregation of family, friends and special guests. Even the grooms’ mothers sang a heartfelt duet.
