Brison first MP to wed under same-sex marriage law
Source: CBC

Liberal MP Scott Brison was married in Nova Scotia Saturday, becoming the first federal politician to marry a same-sex partner since gay marriage became legal in Canada more than two years ago.

Maxime St. Pierre and the member of Parliament for Kings-Hants exchanged vows at a church in Cheverie, the Nova Scotia community where Brison grew up. The wedding was to have taken place outside, but heavy rain caused the ceremony to be moved to a small United church up the road.

A number of dignitaries, including Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion, former New Brunswick premier Frank McKenna and former prime ministers Paul Martin and Joe Clark, were among the guests.
