Leeds Utd's O'kane, and fiancee, seek legal humanist wedding

Model, Laura Lacole, and Leeds Utd footballer, Eunan O'Kane, say they face discrimination under European laws

A celebrity couple is mounting a court challenge to have their humanist wedding recognised as legal, arguing that they are being denied the rights given to religious couples.

Model, Laura Lacole, is marrying Leeds Utd and Republic of Ireland midfielder, Eunan O'Kane, in Northern Ireland next month. The couple, both humanists, want a ceremony that reflects their beliefs, but the only legal options available to them are a religious or a civil service.
