AceShowbiz - Burning vows! Joel Kinnaman and his fiancee Kelly Gale, 29, tied the knot in an intimate and unconventional wedding ceremony in the midst of the mesmerizing Black Rock City desert during the annual Burning Man Festival. The couple, who got engaged in 2021, chose the iconic week-long festival, which ran from August 25 to September 2 this year, as the backdrop for their nuptials.
The newlyweds shared glimpses of their special day on social media, with Gale's Instagram post stealing the spotlight. "Always been soulmates. Husband & Wife returning from the playa," she captioned her post, which featured a carousel of photos and videos capturing the joyous occasion.
The couple's wedding attire was as unique as the setting. Gale donned a stunning white dress with cutouts at her midriff and a silver beaded bodice. Her lace-trimmed hooded-style veil added an ethereal touch to her look, complemented by a glittery embellished headpiece. Gale's hair was styled in a braid, and she accessorized with ornate bracelets and simple stud earrings.
In keeping with the relaxed and free-spirited vibe of Burning Man, both the bride and groom were barefoot. Kinnaman sported a sheer white robe-style shirt and pants, perfectly paired with the desert's mystical environment.
The ceremony, conducted under the enchanting hues of a desert sunset, saw the couple standing on a small white shawl surrounded by sand, with a handful of close friends to witness their union.
Excited cheers can be heard off-camera in a video clip shared by Gale, as the couple was declared husband and wife by their officiant. Kinnaman then lifted Gale's veil, revealing her sparkling headpiece, and they shared a heartfelt kiss, applauded by their guests.
The joyous announcement drew congratulatory messages from their famous friends. Brazilian model and Victoria's Secret Angel LaÃs Ribeiro expressed her happiness, writing, "So happy for you guys! congratulations." Actor David Dastmalchian joined in with a series of heart emojis.
The couple's desert wedding epitomizes their adventurous spirits and deep connection. As Gale beautifully captioned, they are indeed soulmates, returning from an unforgettable experience on the playa.
