We, Kathleen A. Thaxton and Brenda L. Hill, are extremely pleased to announce that we were finally married on our 18th anniversary together!

We had a beautiful ceremony in the mountains at dusk on August 3rd, 2013. From that moment forward we are known as Mrs. & Mrs. Blakk, a new last name we created for ourselves. It represents two halves names to form ‘BLAK’, then an extra ‘K’ for a kiss…

We would like to take a moment and say a heartfelt thank-you to anyone who had a part in making marriage in Washington State happen for us. After being together so long, one might think that a wedding wouldn’t change our relationship. But it has! It feels different…our bond is even more solid and complete. We are so unbelievably happy! Thank-you!
