A same-sex couple in Sydney are shredding posters and signage from the campaign against same-sex marriage to turn into confetti for their wedding at Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras this weekend.

Stuart Henshall proposed to his partner James Brechney  the moment the ‘Yes’ result for the Same Sex survey was announced and the couple has been rushing to prepare everything in time for the big day.

They will be married during the Parade on a float designed to look like a gigantic wedding cake.
