Both of us have attended numerous wedding occasions before but this wedding, to us, is the first time experience in our lives, because it is a Civil Partnership.
So what is so different of this marriage than others? A Civil Partnership is a marriage of a same-sex couple instead of a man and a woman.
This marriage is perfectly normal and legal in the UK. It is so common and recognisable that even you can buy a wedding card specially designed for them.
and I touched it up with the 'twin happiness'
Cesar and David's Civil Partnership started at 11am at the Marleyborne Registry Office, London. There were more than 10 of us came to give our blessings to them.
Cesar's 'sisters'
Here the ceremony began...
Exchanging the vows...
Next exchanging the rings...
Finally signing of the marriage certificate...
"Congratulations to Cesar and David, you are now married!"
The ceremony finished within half an hour.

We were then invited for lunch at a restaurant known as Bistro in Soho. By this time Cesar managed to change into another outfit (as you may have expected) ...
It was the very famous Scottish Kilt!! And Cesar was not alone... even his friends also changed into the same outfits.
Cesar and David both know the staffs in Bistro restaurant quite well as they often dine here. They have specially arranged the food for the day and served us more than the normal three-course meal.
The starters included seafood platters
and succulent chargrilled chicken wings.
We then got to choose our main course from their menu. Frankie has chosen fillet of sea bream, topped with smoked salmon & saffron cream, served with mashed potato
and I opted for this chargrilled fillet of lamb with salads.
The lamb tasted so nice! Even Frankie, who doesn't like lamb, also praised for it!
We were then served with two desserts. The first one was strawberry and lemon sorbets, and the second one was this yummy Bonoffee pie.
The food here is really nice and offers great value for money. It is good to know that we have another good restaurant to go next time!
Last but not least, let's wish this newly wedded couple a very happy and forever marriage!
