Update: Falling in Love at Burning Man

Postby OatmealMama » Mon Nov 28, 2011 11:19 pm

I finally did it.

I left my default life to be with the man I really love. It is a slow process, but we are closer to being a "real" couple.

We met in July 2010 and attended 2010 BM together. He attended 2011 without me, but we're headed back TOGETHER in 2012!

Congratulations! I know the feeling. I also changed my life in the past year and am now with my love who I met at BM in 2008. If you look at my icon, it's a picture of me standing under the roses we built together for our wedding day on the playa this fall. I wrote about this on the orginal thread you have now updated. Good luck and best wishes to you and yours. It can and does happen! We are proof positive.

So glad to hear!

Same thing happened to me. A long time friend met me on playa in 07. We really connected, and decided that we needed to be together. I was married at the time, but the emotional pull to my friend was too much. My divorce was nasty (as one could expect), but its finally over, and my girl and I are happily living together and planning our future.

Burningman brought us together, and now we celebrate our anniversary each year on playa.
