The happy couple and Julian Clary

Philanthropist and entrepreneur Bradley Reback married solicitor Stuart Lawrence in the first male gay wedding under Finchley Progressive Synagogue auspices since the 2013 law change enabling same-sex marriages.

The 150 guests at the wedding, held at the couple's home, were entertained by actor and comedian Julian Clary, who made the simchah the unofficial final night of a three-month national tour.

"They're a fantastic couple," said Finchley Progressive's Rabbi Rebecca Qassim Birk, who officiated. "They are wholly committed to each other and full of the appreciation of what the chuppah means. I find that very moving."
