If you are one of the same sex couples getting married this weekend, I want to congratulateyou and wish you the very best of luck. As you make your vows, you’ll be making history.

　　Finally, after years of campaigning, and having seen off some very tough opposition, anycouple who wants to get married can get married.

　　Together we’ve made our country a place where we celebrate love equally, gay or straight –and for that reason we should all be raising a glass.

　　So, as you make those last-minute preparations and your family and friends gather, I hope youhave a day to remember.

　　Here’s to a long and happy life together for you and your partner. And here’s to a fairer moremodern and equal future for our country.
