Stephen Gately & Andy Cowles Tie The Knot

Congratulations! Stephen Gately (Boyzone) and Andy Cowles with their mothers at civil partnership ceremony at the Goring Hotel in London.
Earlier in August 2003, Stephen had married Andy Cowles in a private commitment ceremony in Las Vegas. According to The Sun, friends the couple said they made a spur-of-the-moment decision to tie the knot during a holiday.
Stephen and Andy went to Las Vegas on holiday and decided to attend a commitment ceremony. They went to a chapel and the ceremony was carried out by a minister, although no rings were exchanged. Stephen and Andy have been together for a while now and they decided they were ready for more commitment.
Gately started dating Andy, who runs an Internet business, after splitting from his ex boyfriend Eloy. The pair live together in London’s Soho.
