"I'm sure Kenny and I will be doing the old legal thing, but we won't be doing the whole veil and gown thing," George Michael revealed his marriage plan with longtime partner Kenny Goss. "It'll be relatively soon after it comes in, probably early next year," he continued.

That is all about the singer's wedding plan which was unveiled Tuesday. The twosome plans to follow the step of fellow musician Elton John, legalizing their relationship under new British legislation offering gays many of the legal protections available to married couples.

As for everybody to know, the legislation creating civil partnerships becomes effective Dec. 21. Hence, Michael and partner plan a "small, private ceremony." "I'm not very romantic about it to be honest," he said. "I think Kenny probably would be if I let him, but it's just not me."
