Cinco de Mayo Wedding

May 5th was the day of my sister Kelly's wedding.  She married Al, who we all love and highly approve of.  It was a very small affair out at the Desert Bar.  For those of you who have never been to the Desert Bar (or even heard of it), will wonder why she was married at a bar.  It is nothing like you think.  

Imagine traveling five miles along a dirt road to the middle of nowhere.  You realize you arrive when you see the tall homemade cooler towers in the distance.  It is completely off the grid and runs totally on solar power.  Everything is made of recycled/reused/reclaimed materials.  A
 hop, skip and a jump away from the "bar" area is the church front, nestled beautifully between the red rock canyons.  I have no idea who made it and would love to know the history.  It is made of iron and has a rusty appeal to it.  

I think it's just one of those places that you have to actually visit to understand, but trust me, it's beautiful.

Enjoy!
