Congratulations Ed and Russell! AKA The Lib Dem Wedding of the Year

By | Sun 6th July 2014 - 11:55 am

ConffetiCongratulations from all at Lib Dem Voice to Ed Fordham and Russell Eagling, who were married yesterday, Saturday 5th July. Their happy day made the local paper:

Campaigner Ed Fordham, a beaten candidate in Hampstead and Kilburn at the 2010 General Election, married his partner of 17 years, the former Fortune Green councillor Russell Eagling. The ceremony took place at the Rosslyn Hill Unitarian Chapel in Hampstead.

The pair got engaged in Parliament Square after Ed Fordham went down on one knee in front of a crowd of more than 1,000 gathered to celebrate the granting of marriage rights to LGBT people in England and Wales.

Among the gathering were a host of Liberal Democrat politicians, relatives and Father Andrew Cain, of St James in West Hampstead, who married his same sex partner of 14-years two weeks ago.

Mr Fordham, 43, who lives with Mr Eagling, 36, in Quex Road, Kilburn, had his own Twitter hashtag for the event: #Ed&Russell and #Married5thJuly

And here are the happy couple, courtesy of the Lib Dems’ leader in the London Assembly, @CarolinePidgeon:

    Well, when they are well known and loved figures in the Liberal Democrats, it is news and unsurprising that a Lib Dem focused site should carry it.

    And why shouldn’t we report on happy, personal stuff?

    It will be on LDV, Jennie. You can be sure of that…

    Don’t worry Richard – it’s not a competition – just enjoy doing it your way 🙂
