As you can see, she took her co-officiant duties very seriously.

I forgot that in addition to the sign, Zapata wore a muzzle. He was really well behaved, but it was asking a lot of him. He also rolled in mud right before the ceremony, so his cords had a lot of dried dirt on them.

There is a pond right next to the ceremony site, and we were mildly concerned that Celosa would want to…

It works now... She pretty much stayed under her mama’s robes for the entire ceremony.

Of course!

Correction: Chicken’s title, per the wedding website, was “Director of Hospitality and Tennis Balls.” Everyone was very well behaved and stayed at the party until the end. Since it was at my family’s ranch no one cared that there were dogs around.

Celosa was pretty happy about the fact we got married:

Of course! There were four dogs in our wedding. Our Celosa, a puli, was the best dog/pooch of honor/ring bearer. She wore ribbons in her hair. She led the bridal procession, and she had our rings on a caribiner on her collar and came forward when it was time to exchange rings. My sister’s corgi, Chicken, was our…

Celosa, another puli who likes to drive fast, says “Hi Golf!”

Those are beautiful! Your artist did a lovely job.

We got ours about three weeks before the wedding. Mine was more or less placed so you could see it with my dress.

My artist thought it was really helpful. It gave her direction while also giving her freedom to do her own thing. I hate giving artists too many parameters, because I think they make better tattoos when they have some creative license.

They're even more awesome than their names:

That is wonderful.

I have what I call my "dog leg". So far Relampago's (1992-2008) lightning bolt is on my hip, and Crianza's (2003-2011) wine bottle is on my thigh. Since Celosa (b. 2008) and Fusilli (b. 2013) are never ever going to die, I'm done with doggie memorial tattoos. But just in case, I have room.

Oh, that's beautiful! I love the colors.

If my husband and I ever got matching tattoos, they'd probably have something to do with our dogs.

I'm not planning on getting divorced, but getting married was a HUGE thing for me, and the tattoo is a marker of that milestone. It's not his name. It's not even something that is exclusively about him. But it is something that is a big deal, and big deals in my life often get commemorated with ink (my other tattoos…

My wedding turned out to to be peacock color themed, and I decided to get a tattoo to mark the occasion. I didn't want a matchy tattoo, or even something that was specifically for my husband. But this was an important event in my life, and I figured it was a good enough reason to get one. I put a pinterest board…

I'm 41. I graduated a year early from a prestigious college because of AP credit. I went in with about a semester's worth of credit, and I made up the rest by overloading and taking summer courses. Saved a good hunk of money.

Right. I was just talking about HIPAA. I am a healthcare lawyer that specializes in HIPAA.

HIPAA only provides an extra measure to mental health records IF the pyschotherapy notes are kept in a separate record. It is up to the provider to determine how they do their record keeping. If the psychotherapy notes are part of the designated record set, then they are treated like the rest of the medical record. …
