Gay Tv Star Planning Round-the-world Weddings

CRIMINAL MINDS star KRISTEN VANGSNESS is planning to turn her same-sex wedding into a world tour - exchanging vows in every country.

The actress, who plays computer expert Penelope Garcia in the TV series, was forced to postpone her wedding plans in 2009 when gay marriage was outlawed in California, but now she and fiancee Melanie Goldstein have plans to turn their big day into a global celebration.

She tells EOnline.com, “We’re going to do it in 2013 - no matter what.

“Melanie wants us to go to every place that it’s (gay marriage) legal and just collect marriage certificates from places like Sweden and Mexico like people collect Disney pins. We want to put up a whole wall of them.”
