West Seattle weddings: Congratulations, Keith & Corianton!

(Photo by Kristen Marie Tourtillotte)
These newlyweds are hoping their recent ceremony will be the first of two. For starters:

West Seattle residents Keith Bacon and Corianton Hale made it official on August 11th at Sleeping Lady Mountain Resort in Leavenworth, WA. The happy couple are looking forward to making it legal when their friends and neighbors vote to APPROVE R-74 in the upcoming election. The celebration included a Bavarian log-sawing ceremony, a talent show, a tube float down the Wenatchee River, and even made The Stranger’s fashion blog.

    ..And vote to approve R-74 we will! Congratulations, gentlemen.

    Shhh, do you hear that? It’s the sound of other people’s marriages NOT being affected.

  • thegodshavegonecrazy August 20, 2012 (11:09 am)

    May I assume that the only reason all the comments here are supportive indicates the haters just aren’t chiming in, or are their comments so vile and obscene as to violate WSB policies?

    • WSB August 20, 2012 (12:08 pm)

      We do not publish hate speech/criticism regarding traits with which people are born – sexual orientation, race, gender, size, etc. – regardless of whether it’s written with vile/obscene language/terms. That’s been our longtime policy. That said, nobody has even tried to post that kind of comment on our site lately. – TR
