Pic shows: The couple Ellison Bruz (left) and Alina Davis (right). This is being billed as Russia's first gay marriage after a Russian woman and her transgender lover managed to get married by forcing registry office officials to accept their union in the capital Moscow. Nevertheless, despite the fact that they managed to get a certificate the wedding was not exactly a happy affair after registry office officials refused to welcome the two 'brides' through the front door and forced them in through the back entrance because both of them were wearing a wedding dress. The marriage between the two women was possible because Alina Davis, 23, was born Dimitriy Kozhuhov and still had her male name on her birth certificate and ID that allowed her to marry her bride Ellison Brux, 21, in a civil ceremony this month at the registry office of Kutuzovsky Prospekt, a major ring road in Moscow. Alina, who has always dressed as a woman and identifies as a female, said: "We love each other and wanted to cement that union, and we had no problems when we handed in the application to the registry office. We expected a complaint or something but they didn't say anything. But then when the head of the registry office called he rang several times telling us that they didn't want us to turn up both in wedding dresses. He said marriages in Russia were between a man and a woman and nobody else." But the two ignored the advice anyway and turned up at the registry office both wearing dresses, and ended up being ushered in through the back door. When asked for a statement the head of the register office declined to comment but Alina said they had tried not to let the officials' attitude ruin their big day, adding: "When we arrived at the day of the wedding, the head of the office was trying to hide us all the time. They rushed us into the office through a back door and that really offended us. He told us we were a disgrace to the society and we needed medical treatment." But the couple did manage to get their official marriage certificate, even if it is in the name of Dimitriy and not Alina. Alina said: "I am pleased to see that the photos are being shared and it's being discussed and I hope we might inspire others to challenge the restrictive practices here and formalise their unions."

A couple who recently tied the knot look so much alike that people mistake them for identical twins.
Don’t get it twisted, the duo aren’t lesbians as they live in Russia one of the countries where same-s*x relationships is a illegal and considered a social taboo.
Their story seems to be quite intricate because they are both heteros*xuals.
At the left (above) is Alison Brooks 19, married to ‘Androgyne’ Dmitry Kozhukhov, who prefers to be known as Alina Davis.
Alison was born male in 1991 and her preferred name “androgyne” refers to her not being fitted perfectly as either male or female and she is more comfortable being a woman than male. This makes her feel strongly for the female folks.
However, they experienced some hitches in Moscow about both wearing wedding gowns as Russian Registry officials were not comfortable with their decision but they finally succeeded.

She has tied the knot with Alison Brooks, 19 – and one of the main challenges they faced was being accepted into a registry office in Moscow if they both wore bridal dresses. Despite outrage from staff, the ceremony went ahead, because there are no rules on a couple wearing the same outfit.
According a report in the Metro, Alina feels that the ceremony would enlighten other couples in Russia who are in unconventional relationships.
In her words, ‘We are not alone in having such problems. I have written to couples who are planning similar marriages and are afraid of failures with registration. Be aware – you cannot be refused.’
‘After all, girls are the fairer s*x. They are beautiful. So if a guy looks like a girl – it’s wonderful.
