    Mates tie the knot to win trip to World Cup

    TRAVIS McIntosh and Matt McCormick will get married tomorrow yet the matrimonial union has horrified gay rights groups.

    Heterosexual best mates McIntosh and McCormick, who have known each other since the age of six, are getting married as winners of a competition run by The Edge radio station in New Zealand.

    Expect their marriage to last two years ... Heterosexual best mates Travis McIntosh and Matt McCormick agreed to get married to win a trip to the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

    After more than 200 entries, McIntosh, a 23-year-old engineering student at Otago University, and McCormick, a 24-year-old teacher at Musselburgh School in Dunedin, were chosen from three bromance couples to win an all-expenses paid trip to the 2015 Rugby World Cup in England.

    The catch was that the buddies had to get married — a same-sex wedding — and they will do that tomorrow in front of 60 family and friends at New Zealand’s home of rugby, Eden Park, in Auckland.

    A celebrant will make the union legally binding, the marriage will be streamed live on the radio station.

    “We are not here to insult anyone. We are here to do our own thing and travel our own path,” McCormick told the Otago Daily Times.

    McIntosh said the wedding was not mocking the institution of marriage. “It’s just seeing how far two good mates would go to win a trip to the Rugby World Cup.

    AS best mates Travis McIntosh, 23, and Matt McCormick, 24, married today before a celebrant dressed as Darth Vader, jokes flew at their predicament and even a streaker joined in the occasion.
