Well, I left Friday to Nv. for the weekend. Saturday morning I was out before 5am looking for a spot. First stand was a bust, so off to stands 2 & 3. By this time "8 am" I knew I had to get back to the Hotel or I would be in "Hot Water" ! I navigated My way back up the dusty trails to the blackotp and headed back. We were in Virginia City, and I just had to make it to the Saloon!

As I was about to travel down a road I have not traveled in quite a while, a stiff drink was in order. Robin, who has been with Me for 5/12 years agreed to be Mrs.Ornery! We got Married at the Silver Queen Casino in Virginia City. We even got a Ride around the town in a Horse and Buggy! It was pretty cool!
It was an old fashion wedding much like the older days I guess, but since being married before and having the Hoopla of big weddings, this was the place to do it. Ever since Robin came to be with me and I took her on her first date a 600+ mile ride on the Motorcycle to Nv" She has loved being in Virginia City. In this Pic, you can see Reverend James and his Wife posing with us. " Notice the 44 holstered to his hip" .

Here is the Proud Ornery with his new Bride!

One thing that works out great is that the Wedding was on Robins Birthday! Makes it harder to miss an anniversary I guess.. lol Here is Our little wedding cake... with a Candle!

So the point of this post is, even though you drive all the way to Nv, and dont get a Coyote, you can still end up with something that you can treasure much more. Thanks for looking.

Congrats, hope it is a long and lasting one. I love the bar, it reminds me of The White House Saloon in Randsburg (over 110 years old) with all the old memorabilia. My grandfather did kind of the same thing when he married, it was his birthday, his anniversary, and also the day he was there to invade Normandy. No way he would ever forget that day!!! :drinks:

Thats just way too cool. Cogratulations :good:
