On a Friday night in Yarmouth this June, Const. Jason Tree and Const. David Connors will don their scarlet dress uniforms, stand before family, friends and co-workers and wed in the first same-sex marriage in the RCMP’s storied history.

In an interview in their Meteghan home Wednesday afternoon, the men said they’ve had great support from the national police force, the community and their families.

"I’ve never had a single problem," said Const. Tree, 27, a native of Fredericton, who has worked in southwestern Nova Scotia for six years and is posted in Meteghan.

The pair, who’ve dated since meeting at the University of New Brunswick more than eight years ago, will be married by a justice of the peace at the Rodd Grand Hotel on June 30. Each will write his own vows, and each will have a best man. They expect plenty of fellow officers to attend and have yet to decide if they’ll have their colleagues form an honour guard for them. They plan to honeymoon in France and England.

3. You're both wrong.

Instead, all the people on the planet who are capable of expressing honest love will ascend to heaven in the rapture, while those who can express only hatred and anger will stay behind.

And perform baptisms, and read their Bibles for shallow understanding, and continue to neglect to listen to the words of their own proclaimed savior. Then they'll blow up the world in self-loathing.

4. Eeks! But you're probably right.

God needs our help!
