Our vows show this love is so strong

Article Abstract:

Gay marriage can be effective as a rite of passage, according to Chris Farrah-Mills, who married his partner Rick Farrah-Mills in 1996 in a ceremony they devised themselves. He feels that there is strong pressure on lesbian and gay relationships, and that those relationships that survive this pressure must be celebrated. Rick Farrah-Mills felt nervous before the ceremony, but is very grateful for the fact that he has always had very strong support from his mother.
