It is a giant civil wedding ceremony, which will bring together 160 couples at Armazém Utopia, in the Port Region of Rio de Janeiro. The judge who will perform the marriages is Rachel de Oliveira.
Jane reveals to the newspaper O Dia that she is going to make her 47-year union official. "Otávio was the first and only love of my life, we met when we were young and it is very difficult today for a relationship to last so long, almost unheard of", declares the artist, who will sing the song Emoções, by Roberto Carlos.
The artist, who is currently part of the show Divinas Divas, has worked with stars such as Bibi Ferreira, Ney Latorraca and was recently in the soap opera Salve Jorge and the series Pé na Cova, both on TV Globo.

Collective civil marriage is an initiative of the State Program Rio without Homophobia, the State Secretariat for Social Assistance and Human Rights, the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro, the State General Public Defender's Office and the Association of Registrars of Natural Persons of the State from Rio de Janeiro.
Claudio Nascimento, superintendent of Individual, Collective and Diffuse Rights and coordinator of the State Program Rio Without Homophobia, says that the action strengthens full citizenship and the fight for the rights of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transvestites and transsexuals.
