Interesting 2014 statistics, following the same sex marriage laws (note that the sky did not fall, in 2014, anyway):

The number of marriages in 2014 rose by 1,500 compared to 2013 but levels are still historically low. Of a total of 29,070 marriages registered in 2014, 367 involved same sex couples following the introduction of same sex marriage on 16th December 2014.

Of the 367 same sex marriages registered in 2014, 173 involved male couples and 194 female couples. 359 of the marriages were conversions of civil partnerships.

There were 436 civil partnerships (193 male and 243 female), 94 fewer than during 2013.
