BRENDON Beavan’s mother will never see her son walk down the aisle with his partner, Michael Faucett.

She died unexpectedly last year but the Campbelltown couple hope a wedding celebration in her memory isn’t too far away.

Mr Beavan’s fight for marriage equality has strengthened since the death of his mother, and on Wednesday he joined Mr Faucett in the Real Families, Real Stories, Marriage Equality Goes to Canberra campaign.
