Elton John has revealed his plans to marry long-term partner David Furnish in a private ceremony, with only their parents as witnesses.
In a recent interview with Attitude magazine, John said: "The ceremony itself will be very private. That much we know. It'll be a very small family affair and then in the evening there'll be a soiree somewhere, which we have yet to work out."
"But the ceremony itself will be David's parents and my parents and the two of us. They'll be our witnesses," the singer said.
"That's the way we want to do it. They've been so fantastic to us and so supportive. Out of respect for their support, we want to just keep it small. Not to make a ballyhoo of the ceremony."
"I haven't thought so much about the emotional side of it yet, but I'm sure this is going to be an incredibly emotional day," John said in the interview, which will appear in the December edition of Attitude.
Furnish said: "As far as I'm concerned, I've always considered myself committed to Elton and he's the person that I want to spend the rest of my life with."
