Alan Cumming Gets Hitched In London

Congratulations to Alan Cumming and American graphic artist Grant Shaffer, who tied the knot on Saturday, in a civil ceremony at the Old Royal Naval College London. About 140 guests watched the couple swap vows and the celeb-studded guest list included Sir Ian McKellen, Geri Halliwell, Rufus Wainwright and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio.

The couple walked down the aisle to the theme song from 1994's Circle of Friends, Cumming's first big film, and then took to a nearby rented ice rink for a newlywed skate to the tune of Queen's "You're My Best Friend."

In a statement the newlyweds used the occasion to bash US policy on gay marriage claiming:

"Not only are we so happy to be able to celebrate our love for each other, but also to be able to do it in a country that properly recognizes the rights of same-sex couples. As residents of America we would have loved to marry there, but we hope that soon the civil rights that we have been afforded in the U.K. will be available to all gay Americans, and we look forward to celebrating not only our marriage, but the end of prejudice."

Good for you guys!
