The Rev Debbie Gaston and Elaine Cook are among three couples set to have same sex "weddings" in Brighton on December 21.
They will "marry" a second after midnight on the first day the Civil Partnership Bill legalises same sex weddings.
The Rev Gaston, 46, of the Metropolitan Community Church, and Elaine, 53, have been together for 16 years and they have two children.
She said: "As a vicar I obviously believe whole-heartedly in the concept of marriage and I have married more than 30 couples myself.
"Elaine and I have waited many years to be able to make this kind of commitment to each other and we both see the Civil Partnership Bill as a huge step in the right direction for equality.
"However, we are only part way there. Until I can have a legal ceremony in the eyes of God I will not feel completely fulfilled."
They will marry in a joint ceremony with two other gay couples - Gino Meriano and his partner Mike Ullett; and Roger Lewis, a Sussex Police employee and partner Keith Willmott-Goodall.

ROFL--WHAT A JOKE!
Just proves that this church is not a real church and not to be taken seriously.

Makes me wonder just who she considers God by her reference of the law.

"The Rev Gaston, 46, of the Metropolitan Community Church, and Elaine, 53, have been together for 16 years and they have two children."
Presumably, the Rev.(sic) Gaston didn't impregnate Elaine, or did hshe? Monty Python lives (in Brighton).

This is what we get for our ancestors letting feminism into churches long ago.

Makes me wonder just who she considers God by her reference of the law. God, to her, is probably a "universal maternal being, who is supportive of all our follies, caring of the environment, whose voice echoes the ancient spirits of the forest, and one who is reached through good works and a loving smile."

Looking at that picture only confirms my belief that feminism was created by and for lonely ugly women.

"Until I can have a legal ceremony in the eyes of God I will not feel completely fulfilled." ....
Regardless of what she " FEELS "
GOD is not going to honor something that GOD considers " SIN " and a " abomination " in his eyes, and it won't be considered " Legitimate " in God's eyes period.

Apparently God is under the jurisdiction of the English Parliment.

Homosexuality and Feminism is purely demonic and satanic, they can't hide under the cloth of Christianity, they are satan's pawns.
The Feminist and the Homosexuals are just pawns in the hand of satan, and will be at the forefront of ushering in the anti Christ.
