France's first same sex couple weds

France’s first same-sex wedding ceremony has taken place in the city of Montpellier, with the presence of the world’s media, and which was described by the city’s mayor as “historic”.

Vincent Autin, a 40-year-old PR firm head, and his husband Bruno Boileau, a 29-year-old government worker, were married in Montpellier’s town hall. Before the ceremony, they said that they were aware of the potential public impact of the ceremony.

The media waited with baited breath, as the guests arrived, bags were checked, as security was on high alert.

The couple walked out to L.O.V.E. by Nat King Cole, and were greeted by Mandroux, who described the ceremony as a “historic moment”, going on to say that the couple were a “symbol of France united”. Guests gave a standing ovation before the couple were seated for the marriage ceremony.

(oops, a misspelling)


C'est si bon
Lovers say that in france
When they thrill to romance
It means that it´s so good
C´est si bon
So I say to you
Like the french people do
Because it´s oh so good.
Every word, every sigh, every kiss, dear,
Leads to only one thought
And the thought is this, dear!
C´est si bon
Nothing else can replace
Just your slyest embrace
And if you only would
Be my own for the rest of my days
I will whisper this phrase
My darling, my darling...
C'est si bon!
