Getting married is one of those major life-changing milestones - like births, graduation or retirement.
Increasingly in recent years, gays and lesbians in more countries around the world have been able to discover for themselves the excitement of 'their big day' - and all the life-lasting memories it gives them.
At Gay Market News and Out Now we have always seen gay weddings as being non-political, and about one thing only: love.
Vienna - A City For Love
Now, thanks to Austria's parliament, lesbian and gay people from all over the world enjoy the legal right to enter into a civil union together in that country, with Vienna the obvious number one choice for finding that unique and special location at which to tie the knot.
Those who have visited Vienna will understand the logic.
Few cities in Europe can rival Vienna when it comes to history, beauty and an amazing number of locations at which to enter into 'the rest of our lives' together.
Many well-known landmarks in the city have become officially designated as welcoming sites for lesbian and gay couples to enter into their civil partnerships.
Just imagine it - holding your wedding in the Hapsburg's summer palace of Schönbrunn - home to Marie Antoinette and frequent host to Mozart.
-- Now there's a wedding pictures album to show off to friends and family.
The city has created a whole list of official places where people can enter into their partnerships, with options from the public (like Vienna's Giant Ferris Wheel) to the more intimate venue - or even in the registry office for keeping it simple.
It is so good to see that in Vienna lesbian and gay people can enjoy the kind of respect that too many lesbians and gay men find absent elsewhere.
