A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Wedding Day Ink

Moony and her wife were legally married in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada on the 17th of July, and as part of the day’s ceremony were tattooed with matching wedding/pride “True Love” tattoos by Luc at Evolution Ink. Congratulations to both of them on finding each other!

    Im all for it as long as they dont end up having a kid.. Thats just gonna mess the poor little blighter right up. Same sex couples and kids do not mix.

    But on a lighter note cute tats, hope you two last 🙂

    Rick James… please stop that.. I was raise by gay parents and believe me I had a great life and i’m a well balance adult now… I was raised in love, respect and with diversity, i’m open minded and was always supported in my life choices…

    to #5… its not like “gay” is contagious… Same sex couples are just as capable at rasing children as hetrosexual couples! Love is love and children (unlike some adults) are lucky enough to see that…

    Rick James- Same sex couples are just as good as heterosexual couples when it comes to raising children. If anything, children of SSC turn out more understanding BECAUSE they have 2 moms or 2 dads.

    CUTE picture. Glad that more pride and SSC pictures or mentionings are happening. Means a lot to those who are part of the “alternative” culture. 😀

    #17-tattooed people and kids don’t mix? As a tattooed mom with two beautifully perfect children, I must protest.

  19. Shannon Larratt Avatar

    Hahahaa, Bridget, obviously Anton is making fun of Rick James’s idiotic statement!

    Oh then I don’t protest and am way too tired to be taking up arms today.

    I’m so happy these gorgeous brides live in my city! 🙂

    Yeah, I’m glad someone posted that they looked a little alike! A lot of married couples could be mistaken for siblings – maybe they just mirror each other’s expressions etc.?

    Anyway, they look so happy… *cheered up*

    Gay people – Marrying each other so we don’t have to!

    I kid, I kid. I’m all for people – anyone – being allowed to marry their loved ones, and I find plenty of straight people unattractive too.
    Myself for one.
    But I’m willing to bet that if I did make a comment about not finding them attractive, which admittdely was my first instinct, cause I’m shallow about appearance like that, it would attract a lot more backlash than if I said it about an entry where lesbianism wasn’t the issue. Cause people here are touchy.

    So I didn’t. Aren’t you lucky people?

    Something about the tattoos just doesn’t do it for me – at all. If I we’re to get matching tattoos on my wedding day I think I would have to make it something more than just flash. However, to each his/her own in such things.

    Congratulations on the wedding, regardless. I wish them all the best.

    Actually, I’ve found that to be true as well. My best friend and her boyfriend got mistaken for brother and sister a lot. I thought it was hilarious.

    Adorable couple, nice tattoos, I’d love to see them with a child. Same sex marriage should have been legalized long before it was. They look so happy and their eyes say so much, I hope they live a great life together forever.

    Thanks for the warm wishes and good words, everyone!! The wedding was beautiful and the tattoos were just the icing on the cake. The tattoo was designed for us by the artist, and I don’t consider the design of the actual maple leaf on the Canadian flag “flash”. “True Love” is actually a play on her last name, which I intend on taking as soon as the courts will let me do so. Otherwise I would never get a phrase like that tattooed on me. The numbers underneath are indeed the date we got married, and I let him do it the way they most commonly do it in St. Boniface. When in Rome and all that… Yes, we do look a lot alike, I’ll admit, and we’ve been asked a lot if we’re sisters. We had to swear that we’re not related by blood when we got married and for those that wonder, we definitely aren’t. And to #5-too late! I have two children from a previous marriage whom she is as much of a mother to as I am. Bridget-do you live in Winnipeg? We live in Iowa, but fully intend on making Winnipeg our home in the future if at all possible.

    Congrats to them! They look so happy and I think they make a cute couple! May they have a wonderful lifetime together =). If they do decide to have kids, I think the children will be thrilled to have two parents who are happy.

    Aww, cute. I like the tattoos! Too bad America is behind in the times. I just keep reminding myself 50 years ago I wouldn’t have been allowed to marry a white man, and I love my white men so I am so for Gay marriage.
    And if you don’t like gay marriage, don’t get one. It makes sense.
    And yes, stop feeding the fucken trolls people.
