The Island needs to be ready for same sex married couples.
That's the message from the Manx Rainbow Association, a body which represents the interests and needs of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community on the Island.
The new law permitting same sex marriage in England and Wales comes into force at midnight tonight and it's thought a number of couples will vye to claim the title of being the first ever to wed in Britain, by saying their vows just seconds after midnight.
It's thought likely some gay couples from the Island will travel across to tie the knot in days to come.
Lee Vorster from the MRA says he doesn't want the Island to upset any couples or embarrass itself
