WESTLIFE'S Mark Feehily is tying the knot and getting married to his gay lover Kevin McDaid just months after meeting the boy band singer.Mark (25), from Sligo, says they will marry at the end of the year with a special ceremony to bless their relationship.
Mark announced he was gay last month and revealed how he was in a serious relationship with Kevin, who sings with the boy band V.
Kevin plans to ditch his pop career to concentrate on supporting Mark. Mark is following in the footsteps of Boyzone's Stephen Gately who married his gay lover Andrew after coming out.
The Westlife star said coming out was "the best thing I ever did, like a massive weight off my shoulders".
"My family and friends always knew who I was but now I don't have to hide my identity any more," said Mark.
He says Kevin and himself are "really happy together and everyone was been amazing to us in the last month".
Legal gay marriages are only available in a handful of countries around the world.
Holland was the first country to offer a full civil marriage rights to gay couples in 2001.
Belgium followed in 2003. In June, Spanish MPs voted in favour of allowing gay couples to marry and adopt children. The bill became law in July.In America, may states have passed laws defining marriage as "the union between a man and a woman".
Actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger, governor of California, said he would veto a bill to legalise same-sex marriage in the state "out of respect for the will of the people".
His comment has drawn heated criticism from gay rights supporters but he is the toast of conservative groups.
