  In 2005, the Civil Partnership Act was ratified and same-sex couples were allowed to arrange Civil Partnership ceremonies for the first time. Although thousands of couples have taken this step since then, arranging simple or elaborate ceremonies, many people are still confused about what a Civil Partnership actually is and what it really means under the law. Experts and gay rights campaigners Gino Meriano and Mike Meriano, who were one of the first couples to have a Civil Partnership Ceremony in the United Kingdom, set up Pink Weddings primarily to demystify Civil Partnerships and also to help same-sex couples arrange their perfect day, while making them aware of the nitty-gritty of the law.This book provides clear and easy-to-understand information on the processes through which couples need to go not only to create their perfect day but also to make sure that their partners and children are legally protected in such instances as separation, dissolution or death.
