Belfast couple Robyn Peoples and Sharni Edwards will be the first gay couple to wed in Northern Ireland.
Robyn Peoples, left, and Sharni Edwards, pose in front of a mural of murdered journalist Lyra McKee on Feb. 5, 2020 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, during a pre-wedding press conference. Journalist Lyra McKee was in a same-sex relationship and planned to marry her partner Sara Canning before she was murdered while covering a riot in Derry last year.
The Love Equality campaign group said in a statement that Belfast couple Robyn Peoples, 26, a health care worker from the city, and Sharni Edwards, 27, a waitress originally from Brighton, would be the province's first gay couple to wed. The women are set to exchange vows in Carrickfergus, County Antrim on Tuesday, their sixth anniversary as a couple.
"We didn't set out to make history. We just fell in love," Edwards said in the Love Equality statement.
