Stephen Fry is set to narrate a musical broadcast of one of the UK's first same-sex weddings since the equal marriage bill passed.
Called Our Gay Wedding: The Musical, the 60-minute television special will be broadcast by Channel 4.
West End star Nathan Taylor and composer Benjamin Till are writing the music and lyrics for the nuptials, which will be sung during vows and readings.
The musical will reportedly feature guest stars and showbiz legends, accompanied by Fry's commentary and introductions.
John Hay, commissioning editor for arts at Channel 4, said of the planned special: "We are proud to be marking a huge milestone for gay rights - a cause that has long been close to Channel 4's heart."
Fry, a longtime supporter of equal marriage, recently urged David Cameron to back the campaign against Russia's homophobic policies.
