Diplomatic loophole allows partners to tie the knot at the British consulate in Sydney despite laws banning same sex unions
Although Australia has yet to legalize gay marriage, a couple have tied the knot thanks to an unfamiliar loophole.
James Hanley, 23, and Dan Waknin, 35, got married on Friday afternoon at the British consulate in Sydney’s Circular Quay, surrounded by 20 of their closest friends and family.
After two-and-a-half years of dating, the Manly couple were able to legalise their relationship under the British marriage equality laws because of Mr Hanley’s dual citizenship with Australia and Britain.

, did they exchange rings during the ceremony or did they show restraint?

It's about time Australia did the right thing and allowed people to choose who they want to be with without putting archaic barriers between them.
If two people want to be together they should be allowed to do so without anyone else having the right to stop them in any way, shape or form. We don't live in the medieval ages any more. It's time we showed it.
It is absolutely nobody's business telling anyone else what they can and cannot do in term of love or a relationship.
