ABC hosts mass same-sex TV wedding

Adam Hills will make history this month when he hosts Australia’s first ever mass same-sex TV wedding on Monday, March 26 in Melbourne.

20 couples have already registered to take part in the non-legal TV wedding extravaganza.

“Same-sex couples

may not be able legally marry in Australia yet, but they sure as hell can have a great big TV wedding,” Hill said.

In February on the show, Adam asked his audience the question: If you were Prime Minister for a day, what law would you change/introduce? The majority of the audience said they would legalise same-sex marriage.

One eager audience member kicked it all off by proposing to her girlfriend on the show. Adam offered to throw them a same-sex TV wedding, and later extended the invitation.

“If you’re a gay man, and you want to TV marry your male partner, you’re invited. If you’re a lesbian woman who wants to TV marry your female partner, you’re invited. If you’re transgender or bisexual and want to marry your same sex partner, you’re invited. If you’re a gay man who wants to marry a lesbian woman – well, bizarrely enough that is already legal, so you don’t really need us,” he said.

While Adam has been busily making preparations for the wedding, word reached the other side of the world, and a video message of support came from TV host and author Stephen Fry. You can watch the message below.

Musician Adam Ant will also make a return appearance with band The Good, The Mad and The Elegant Posse.

The wedding is intended to be a simple and elegant affair, but like all good TV weddings, there’s bound to be some unexpected surprises on the day.
