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.
More for good measure: """"""""""""""""
"In the eyes of God." Well, IF she had a brain, she'd be looking through the eyes of God, the way HE sees it. He says that homosexuality is an abomination before Him. He also says He will NOT be mocked. These people are very deceived, and will lose their souls, unless they repent and come away from their sin.
The lovely couple has registered at amazon for their wedding gifts...

She can have a legal ceremony in the eyes of God today.
All she has to do is marry a guy.

And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
17:2
With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: </b>

17:8
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was *, and is not, and yet is.
17:9

17:17
For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree * (5658), and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
