Any impact on Will - civil partnership to marriage

Hi. I've ben reviewing our Wills and have realised that my now wife is described as my Civil Partner as the Will was written before our Civil Partnership was converted into a marriage when equal marriage was introduced. Would that mean that the Will needs to be rewritten? We have very simple mirror wills drawn up by a solicitor leaving leaving everything to each other.
We have also moved house since writing the Wills so the address has also changed
Thanks

Assuming you have moved from a same sex civil partnership to marriage it should not make a difference as both have the same status. The change of address should make no difference either.1
