HALIFAX (CP) -- A day before Canada marks its 139th birthday, 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.

At least it's not Dudley Doo-Right and his horse.
Hopefully, this frees all those Nells in the Great White North to pursue men who don't bunk together.

Cool. Thanks angela.

I may be straight as an arrow, but I have no problem with this. None of my business how people choose to love one another.
