Civil Partnerships - 1 year old

Hard to believe that its been a year since the law changed and after making declarations 15 days prior the UKs first ever Civil Partnerships were being undertaken on this very day one year ago.

Celebritys such as Sir Elton John and David Furnish being just 2 of the now in excess of 20,000 people who have made a committment in such a way.

Hard to believe that a year on, I am about to start to plan my own.

We have been talking about it for a lot longer than a year, while it was still in the discussion stages of Parliament we were talking about our plans back then. So while it may still be hard for my parents to understand that Dusan and I love each other enough to want to be Civil Partners for the simple fact we love each other and want to spend every living day together and not appart. A love forced into long distance just because of a georgraphy as to where he was born. A love that has grown stronger with distance and time and a love that approaches its 4th anniversary on the 9th January.

I am scared out of my mind that we will have problems with the home office and everything will end at appeal but I believe in Love above all things (I sound very Moulin Rouge there) and Love will conquere all. I will fight tooth and nail to have my beloved Dusan as my life partner, beloved Husband and Civil Partner and wont rest until he is. Thats the strength of love. You would do anything, leave no page unturned to achieve your ultimate happiness. I wont rest till my heart is whole and my love is returned unto me.
