""It was obviously me and him and an officiant, as they call them, who are legalized to marry people. [Also present were] two of my dearest friends, Jim Silvia, who was Priests's [tour] manager forever, and his wife. There was just four of us around the pool, around the cactus, the heavy metal cactus. And it was over in an instant. But it was just a beautiful, simple ceremony.""
""[I would say], 'Let's get married.' 'No, I don't wanna get married.' 'Oh, let's just get married. We've been together forever.' 'No, I don't wanna get married,' Halford said. 'And then suddenly on one of our night walks, he goes, 'I think we should get married.' [I went] straight home [and got] on the phone to get a pastor.'""
Rob Halford and his partner Thomas formalized their relationship with a small wedding in Phoenix in 2024 after being together for more than three decades. The ceremony took place outdoors by a cactus and the pool, attended by an officiant and two close friends, Jim Silvia and his wife. Halford had previously suggested marriage but stopped asking until Thomas proposed during a night walk, prompting a quick arrangement. The ceremony was brief and simple. Halford described marriage as bringing a deeper level of commitment and said the value of a marriage certificate depends on the individual.
