Canada's first military gay wedding...
I can't wait until this is so common that there won't be a need to blog about it.
Two men were married in the chapel at Nova Scotia's Greenwood airbase in May, in what's being called the Canadian military's first gay wedding.
Lt.-Cmdr. David Greenwood, the base's head chaplain, said a sergeant and a warrant officer were married May 3 in front of about 45 guests.
"This couple had been waiting a very long, long time," said Greenwood, declining to give their names because he hadn't asked for permission.
In September, the Nova Scotia Supreme Court ruled that banning same-sex marriages is unconstitutional, effectively changing the definition of marriage in the province to "the lawful union of two persons to the exclusion of all others."
The military has said it's willing to host gay weddings in jurisdictions where it's legal.
