Britain's First Humanist Wedding
BBC News Scotland
Quote:
Britain's first legally recognised humanist wedding is to take place in Edinburgh at the weekend.
Rules on the venues in which Scottish couples can marry had been relaxed, but services still had to be carried out by a minister of religion or registrar.
Karen Watts and Martin Reijns will be united by a humanist celebrant at the city's zoo after it was agreed that the restriction was discriminatory.
Humanist representatives have demanded the same changes in England and Wales.

Good news. It should only be a metter of time before the rights are extended to humanists Britain-wide.
