Thank you for replying, Mister Micawber :-)
However, doesn't "my friend and me" sound rather stuffy? I feel that "me and my friend" has a smoother "flow" to it. Nevertheless, grammatically, "my friend and me" is correct, right?

It is polite, not stuffy, to list yourself last. Putting yourself first is uncouth.
