Civil partnerships ten years on: share your photographs and stories

When the first civil partnership ceremonies took place 19 December 2005, it was an important step in the fight for equality, as they offered recognition, security and reassurance. Ten years on we’d like to hear your stories and see the photos of your civil ceremonies.

How did your civil ceremony affect your life? Do you value them just as much since the introduction of equal marriage? Are you planning to convert your civil partnership to a marriage in the future? Given the choice between a civil partnership and marriage which one would you prefer? Share your civil partnership ceremony photos and stories with us, and we’ll feature the most interesting ones in our reporting.

You can share your photos and stories by clicking on the blue ‘Contribute’ button on this article. You can also use the Guardian app and search for ‘GuardianWitness assignments’ – and if you add it to the homepage – you can keep up with all our assignments.
