After 21 years of being a couple, with their civil partnership that took place in 2005 when the same-sex civil union partnership law, came into effect in England and Wales in December of that year.
Sir Elton John,67 ,and his partner David Furnish,51, are planning to tie the knot again. They have announced plans to marry in May, only this time in a low-key celebration.
"We don’t feel the need to take an extra step legally," David revealed on Friday. "But since we’re committed for life, we feel it’s really important to take that step, and take advantage of that amazing change in legislation. We all live by example." He was speaking to the Las Vegas review-journal.
Their civil union comprised of 650 guests and a huge celebrity party that included Victoria Beckham, Ringo Starr, Elizabeth Hurley, Donatella Versace, Claudia Schiffer, David Walliams and Sharon Stone among the guests.
David explained: "We do like big parties. Over eight years ago, we had 650 people on the 21st of December at our house in Windsor.
"But with the kids, everything is different. I think what we’ll do is go to a registry office in England in May, and take the boys with us, and a couple of witnesses."
The couple have two sons, Zachary, three; and Elija who's 14 months old.
The filmmaker told the review-journal he was surprised, but thrilled that he and Elton would be able to have the equal right to wed after growing up believing it would never be possible for a gay man.
