Becca and I may have had our sibling rivalries growing up, but we have developed a close bond throughout the years. As I have watched her develop into a strong, confident, and beautiful human, my pride in being her brother has only grown. Becca is a middle school teacher and lives with her fiancé, Taylor and cat, Olive, in Moncton. - Greg

Erin and I have been close friends for almost 20 years after meeting in middle school. We have grown close through the years, spending time together throughout our grade school studying for exams, going for drives to get ice cream, and swimming in our pool. We reunited at Dalhousie where we both studied Pharmacy. Erin currently lives in Halifax with her partner Korede. - Greg

Emily and I became close friends in elementary school, and stayed close throughout all of grade school. We spent countless nights acting foolish at our parents' houses, swimming at one of our pools or at the Eagle's Nest, and working together at Dairy Queen. Emily is a registered nurse and lives in Miramichi with her husband Jeffery, and their son Lane! - Greg

Kailey and I met in Fredericton while working together in community pharmacy. Kailey is one of the most thoughtful, selfless and caring people I know. She would drop everything for you if needed, and somehow always remembers those special occasions in your life. Kailey lives in Sussex with her husband, Jordan, and their children, Hayden and Leo. - Greg

Layla and I met in grade 10 when she approached me at a party to say she saw me playing cello at the Remembrance Day ceremony and gave me the nickname "Chelsington". We went on to become best friends and then colleagues as the lanky dream team at Quinpool Rd. Superstore. We now speak almost exclusively about drag race and gay pop music to the detriment of knowing important details about each other's lives. Layla lives in Vancouver with her partner Kristian and their dogs Garf and Lupin. - Stephen

I met Thomas in grade 11 at QEH when he moved to Halifax from the Eastern Shore. We met on the volleyball team and immediately became lanky best friends (although we both tried to get rid of the "lankiness" at Fitness FX, to differing levels of success...). After high school, we lived together for two years with his white boxer and all-around loveable goof, Kevin. Thomas and his wife Liz live in Halifax with their adorable daughter Maisie and dog Malcolm. - Stephen

Erika was the first friend I made in pharmacy and we have been inseparable ever since. After graduating, Erika and I moved to Miramichi where we worked together at Jean Coutu and were often confused for a married couple by patients and locals alike. In addition to being a great and loyal friend, Erika is always the life of the party and can often be seen dancing on tables and losing at beer pong. Erika lives in Halifax with her dog Tay. - Stephen

Sean and I have been friends since primary and growing up we lived a street apart (24 seconds away if you walk fast!). If there was ever even a whisper of going to the cottage Sean was there, beer in hand, no questions asked. He may often be late but he is definitely worth the wait and I feel fortunate to have had such a good friend since such a young age. Sean now lives in Halifax with his fiancé Lauren, their cat Mackerel and their corgi Neville. - Stephen

We met Tanya in pharmacy where we quickly became friends. Greg and I were fortunate enough to get to ride the escalator to Christ in Rio de Janeiro with Tanya (& Mark) and have had many more adventures before and after. Tanya always has her finger on the pulse of gay happenings in Halifax and she is always up for a good time (unless it is past 9PM and she is already on the couch with her cats/bird). Tanya lives in Dartmouth with her partner Joey and her cats Ricky and Randy and pigeon Mike. - Stephen

We met Shawn in pharmacy where we all had to put up with 4 years of his chronic tardiness and incessant trolling in and outside of class. Given this reputation, it seemed fitting to give him the most serious and important role with the most pressure to both be on time on the day and to send the wedding officiant paperwork on time. In all seriousness - and as I am sure you will learn during our wedding - Shawn is actually a fiercely loyal and caring friend who would do anything for his friends and family. Shawn works at the Poison Centre with Stephen and lives in Dartmouth with his partner Meg and their dogs Sydney and Sullivan. - Stephen & Greg

Allan and I (Stephen) first became friends in grade 10 when Allan was both impressed and disgusted watching me get a nosebleed in Biology class and then somehow stop and clean it without ever getting up or leaving class. After becoming friends we realized we had previously crossed paths in elementary/junior high in skipping, ballroom dancing and volleyball... the odds were pretty high that at least one of us was gay. When we asked Allan to be the emcee I told him it was because he was our funniest friend and I know we won't be disappointed. Allan and his fiancé Sara live in Halifax with their cat Kiko.
