The first same sex marriage in Brighton & Hove took place just after midnight on 29 March 2014. Saturday was the date for the change in the law allowing same sex couples the right to marry. In Brighton & Hove, a total of five couples were married on the first day the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act came into effect.

The first wedding, at one minute after midnight on 29 March, saw Andrew Wale and Neil Allard married in the Royal Pavilion. Their wedding was the first marriage ceremony to take place in the former palace's Music Room which was only licensed last year.

Brighton & Hove City Council senior ceremonies registrar Trevor Love, said: "This will be a momentous and historic day for the Registration Service in England and Wales, and for all of those couples making their marriage vows together. Brighton & Hove is a popular location for ceremonies and we have been busy keeping people up to date with the latest news about the introduction of same sex marriage. It is wonderful to see this law change being welcomed so enthusiastically in the city."
