"I was sort of ambivalent about marriage, but then I was so thrilled about that bill to equal marriage and I remember thinking, 'This is such a beacon of parity,' and it made me want to do it."
"It suddenly made me think, 'Actually that's a really lovely thing,' and it also made me think completely differently about the institution of marriage, because I thought, 'Oh, now it's for all of us'."
"'It's about love,' former EastEnders actor Martin Kemp responded, to which Wilson added: 'Yes, for everybody, yes.'"
Tom Read Wilson, a Celebs Go Dating client co-ordinator and I'm A Celebrity contestant, said he was previously ambivalent about marriage but felt differently after the bill to equalise marriage passed. The legislation inspired him by acting as a beacon of parity and made him want to marry. He described the change as making him view marriage as a lovely institution now open to everyone. Martin Kemp responded that marriage is about love, a sentiment Wilson agreed with. The piece notes key legislative milestones: England and Wales (2014), Scotland (2014), and Northern Ireland (2019/2020).
