Elton John's boyfriend David Furnish has rubbished reports they are to marry at David and Victoria Beckham's English mansion - he wants a quiet ceremony.
Film producer Furnish and flamboyant singer Elton will be attending the Beckhams' home for the christening of their sons Romeo and Brooklyn later this month, but there is no talk of marriage just yet.
He explains: "Elton and I will be going to the Beckhams for a christening ceremony, not to get married.
"I have been following the Civil Partnership Bill through the House of Commons and the House of Lords, and hope that we'll be able to do something about it in six months.
"We have decided that everything would be done very simply in a register office. There's been absolutely no discussion of having a huge party or anything like that."
