Royal Canadian
Mounted Police officers to tie the knot

On a Friday night in June, constables Jason Tree and David Connors will don their scarlet dress uniforms, stand before family, friends, and coworkers, and be married in what will apparently be the first same-sex marriage in Royal Canadian Mounted Police history. In an interview in their home on Wednesday, the men said they've had great support from the national police force, the community, and their families. The pair, who've dated since their days at the University of New Brunswick more than eight years ago, will be married by a justice of the peace on June 30. Each will write his own vows, and each will have a best man. While the couple expects plenty of their fellow officers to attend, they have not yet decided whether they'll have their colleagues form an honor guard for them. They plan to honeymoon in France and England. (Sirius OutQ News)
