Gay Mounties Surprised At Fuss Over Wedding
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon06/06/062906rcmp.htm

A day before Canada marks its 139th birthday this weekend, a young couple will wed in a ceremony that is sure to cast one of the country's most iconic symbols in a whole new light.

Dressed in their distinctive scarlet coats, RCMP constables Jason Tree and David Connors will exchange vows before a justice of the peace and a troop of other Mounties in their fabled red serge.

Reaction to the wedding - the first between two male RCMP officers - has befuddled the couple, who have been overwhelmed by interview requests from reporters and congratulations from well-wishers they've never met.

``We don't see our wedding as anything different or special,'' Tree, 27, said in an interview from his detachment in Meteghan on Nova Scotia's southwest coast. ``Our goal was to get married, not have an international media story.
