| GAY MARRIAGE PROCLAIMED LAW It's official!. At 6:09 pm on Wednesday, July 20, 2005, the Equal Marriage Bill was proclaimed into law in Canada, making it legal for same-sex couples to exchange vows from coast to coast. Two years previously, the Province of British Columbia announced the legalization of same-sex marriage on July 8, 2003 and as a result hundreds of couples from around the world have come to Vancouver and other regions of our province to legally exchange vows. Ceremonies have varied from intimate gatherings with private couples, witnesses and a Marriage Commissioner in the privacy of their hotel suites, to private group seaside and garden services, to full blown large-scale events with all the trimmings. We wish to congratulate and thank the couples highlighted below whom have generously allowed us to post photos of their special days and ceremonies on our website. Samples of Marriage and Honeymoon packages are also highlighted below, along with a wide selection of regular hotel rooms and suites that are book-able via our Hotel Reservations System. We can also provide references for larger events with group rates, catering and other requirements. Please feel free to contact us via email. This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
