Haley & Joe are totally Burners, and since half my friends are at Burning Man this week, I figured it was the perfect time to feature this fabulously PORANGE wedding!

The offbeat bride: Haley, Nanny

Her offbeat partner: Joe, Engineer

Location & date of wedding: Joaquin Miller Park Cascade, Oakland, CA. June 29, 2008

What made our wedding offbeat: My favorite color is pink, he likes orange. I like cats, he likes rabbits. So instead of having a wedding where I picked everything and he said, “Yes Dear” this wedding was all about our “Us-ness”. Pink and orange make Porange, and Porange suits us.

Seriously, could I love my offbeat Bay Area brides any more than I already do?

We’ve got the bride in a smashing red wedding dress, the groom in a green top hat, the officiant in a purple wizards cap (!!!), stilt-walkers from Mystic Family Circus, and an attendant in feathers ‘n’ leather festival finery. This photoset calls it a Happy Pagan Costume Love Wedding. I’m suspecting these are friends-of-friends who I haven’t met yet, because seriously: these are exactly my kinda freaks. (Have I mentioned that my husband is an aerialist? We know a lot of circus folks.)
