Longtime partners Elton John and David Furnish are getting married on Sunday. And they really want you to be involved. Okay, you won’t be permitted to attend the actual nuptials — said to be taking place at their Windsor estate. However, the British music legend and his Canadian filmmaker fiancé plan to provide regular updates to fans via social media. In fact, Elton even created an Instagram account for the very occasion. His first post: this image.
Please join us this Sunday @DavidFurnish and I will be posting special moments from our big day. #ShareTheLove #EltonJohn #DavidFurnish A photo posted by Elton John (@eltonjohn) on Dec 12, 2014 at 4:17pm PST

Elton and David entered into a civil partnership in 2005. So why tie the knot now? Simple: last March, the U.K. government finally paved the way for the legalization of same-sex marriage.
Kudos to the soon-to-be married couple!
