No, I couldn't but different types suit different people. The couple, which the article is based on are actually reasonably young, attractive looking guys, which you can see if you look at the second photo.

From headlines I've been seeing, same-sex marriage might be legalised in Tasmania soon.

They could really be onto a good way to boost tourism to this island state by attracting same-sex weddings. If you take into account the flights, accommodation, food and beverage, photography, events management and all the other pricey services associated with a wedding, plus the fact that most wedding parties would have at least 10-20 people, I reckon most weddings would bring at least $40k to the state. Could quite easily reach $100k to $200k for a large wedding.

Tassie's a very picturesque state, very green, pristine and lots of amazingly beautiful outdoor locations available for a wedding. Not to mention fantastic wine and delicious fresh produce. Only challenge is it's a bit cold for my liking.
I reckon the rest of Australia won't be too far behind in following Tassie... Yipee. :occasion9:
