What an amazing and unexpected experience.

Thank you! for sharing some very special and memorable moments with us. Lauren, as ever, you are superlative and I am so grateful to you for honoring us both by officiating our ceremony. You all are truly in our hearts for standing witness to our love and union of commitment – That’s the amazing part, and we both feel so honored by your support and love.

The unexpected aspect came from the new awareness that each of us now has of being married. We’ve been together for 7 years now, and we each didn’t expect that this type of ceremonious declaration would have much impact, but it has to a degree! The best way that I know to describe, is that there seems to be some unseen tendril of new intimacy that deepens the everyday connections. Like a quiet awareness. At least, that is how it feels to me anyway, and I’m sure Tink has his own take it, but there definitely is a subtle difference.
What a remarkable day! Preps were low-drama, but of course last-minute playa-time being what it is, we arrived at the appointed spot after our guests and loved-ones. One of the multitudes of items I had neglected to print off before leaving town was our ceremony and vows, which Lauren had conscientiously sent to me for edits, so I had to handwrite transcribe them from my laptop so she could officiate. Lauren, extra big kudos for schlogging through my handwriting!

Afterwards, our lovely bridesmaids crew through us a great reception soirée back at our camp featuring amazing friends; Paella, and Champagne, and lovely hugs.
Tink and I had a wonderful day! Made even more special because of each of you. Blessings to you all of you come from a very special place in our hearts.

Next up! We are off to be legally married in Washington DC later this month [Yikes, just in a couple of weeks!]. We’ve engaged with Tiffany Newman to officiate for us while we’re there, NOT that it will be recognized here in Nevada anytime soon, but hey, look how far equality has come thus far! Every raindrop feeds the ocean, right?

Our friends have been sending more photos, so as they come in, I will add them to an album I’ll host somewhere. More than likely, I’ll post a link in the side-column for easy access. They’re great, as they keep the remembrances of these very special days ongoing.
Love and Blessings!!

Super-post: I am combining this week’s contribution to the That’s A Look! files with a submission of retrospective images of my soon-to-be husband, Jimmie R. Martin. About this time next week we will be amidst our global friends in a ceremony to unite us for eternity.
And I couldn’t pass up this opportunity to post this priceless image:
Tinker, a well known staple of the Internationally renowned Reno Housewives Themed-Camp readies and primps to perform entroupe as bridesmaids at another Black Rock City wedding. A stunning example of Haute Couture collision in the high desert.
Jimmie, a.k.a. “Tink”, was one of the original founders of the Sierra Safari Zoo in Reno. We host, and are privileged care givers to over 150 guests, who are our extended family through good and challenging times. Jimmie is an astute and dedicated papa, whose heart is as big as the universe. He’s an amazing man, Lo amo caro!
We have a great community of human and non-human members – at the zoo AND out on the playa!
This year our campmates get to be “our” bridesmaids! But, we’re still ready and raring to maid-it for all the other happy couples out there. We love making processions through the dust, or is that we love making dust through processions!!
At the end of September we head off to Washington, DC for our legal wedding, but the important one will be here at home camping out amongst our spiritual siblings, and enjoying the joy.
I present my love and life-mate, Jimmie:
Jimmie, and Alfie as a baby
with friends
ear kisses and purrs
all smiles
More current photos will follow! See you when we get back.
Arrivederla!!!!
