(London) A day after Matthew Roche entered into a civil partnership with his longtime lover Christopher Cramp the 46 year old has died.

Roche who had inoperable lung cancer was given a special dispensation by the government to bypass the normal 15 day waiting period between the time a couple applies for a civil partnership and date the ceremony can be held.

The couple was united in a brief ceremony Monday, the same day that the civil partnership law came into effect. The government decision made Roche and Cramp the first same-sex couple to exchange vows in Britain.

The ceremony was held at St Barnabas Hospice in West Sussex. About 20 family and friends attended.

"I really, really needed to get married and we are very lucky indeed to be given the opportunity," Roche told the BBC shortly after the ceremony. [...]
