Couple celebrates 3-year anniversary on playa
"My husband and I met at the Burn and have not been able to celebrate our marriage with our Burn family," Kat M. posted in the PDF Rideshare facebook page asking if anyone had a ticket to sell.
It just so happens, Wonderfuse News had a spare ticket available, and answered the call. When asked about their story, Kat M. told the Wonderliner:
Q (T-Bone McGillicutty). How did you meet?
Kat: "so we met at the Big Burn in 2018. Our tents were next to each other. This was also my first Burn. While walking up to set up our tent (I was there with my ex) I saw a very attractive man. Through out the burn we went on some group adventures. It wasn’t until break down that we had a “getting to know you” convo. Like, where are you from etc. I thought he was from LA because my camp is pretty much all west coasters (swing city) it a Acro based theme camp. I learned that not only was he currently living (no joke) 5 mins away from me in Arlington va. 🤯🤯
Q: What happened next?
Kat: When we got back we started to spend time together. We went back in 2019 and then in 2022. He proposed to me on the Playa, to which I replied 'is this really happening???' lol"
Kat continued: "We had to make a choice for 2023, get married or go back to the burn. We got married. We missed 24/25 and maybe even this year. Life started lifing and we had to put on your big girl and boy pants on. We couldn’t afford to even do regions. Our plan had been to have a celebration on Playa 2024."
Q: What changed this year?
KAT: "We have been wanting to go to PDF for years. And this year our best friend and her daughter (my god daughter) have an installation! There are other burn family there as well. So with the help of generous folks, we will be able to celebrate our love and the love we have for the Burn!
Playa provides! ❤️"
