Randy Jones, the cowboy from the 70s disco group Village People,
is getting married this week in New York City.
According
to TMZ.com, Jones will marry Will Grega, his partner of 30 years,
during an event-packed 3-day wedding celebration that starts
Thursday.
Randy will ask Grega to marry him during a public proposal in
front of friends and family in Columbus Circle. A celebratory dance
to Andrea Bocelli's Septiembre Amor (September Love) will
follow.
On Friday, the couple will marry at City Hall in front of their
mothers, followed by a rooftop party with special guest host
Warrington Gillette.
The third and final day will include a “true Italian banquet”
to be held at a restaurant in Little Italy.
The couple held a symbolic wedding ceremony at the West Village
club Rumor in 2004, when such unions were not recognized by New York.
“It's only a matter of time before the courts rule in favor of
what's morally right and humanly decent,” Jones said at the time.
“The benefits so far are great. I have a lifetime membership to
the YMCA,” Grega said.
