Voting was on Saturday April 12, 2008, at The Center. The emperor candidate won his election with ease. Being unopposed he received the largest Yes vote and lowest No vote to date. The Empress candidates were a swift battle with Jackie being triumphant. The results were made known at Coronation 35. 

At Coronation 35, on Saturday April 19, 2008 at the Four Points by Sheraton Southeast,  Johnny was crowned Emperor XXXV and would be known as The Legend of the Emerald Tide, The Authentic Crescent Moon Emperor of Solidarity and Hope.  Jackie was crowned Empress XXXV and would be known as The Promise of the Crystal, The Mouth of the Rockies, The Voice of the People,  The Ruby Lipped Empress of Truth. This would embark a journey that two past PRs have waited for years to achieve.

This year saw the passing of two monarchs, Empress XI Jaye Sutherland and Emperor XXVII Kent Epperson.  They will be missed. 

Emperor Johnny and Empress Jackie traveled to several out of realm coronations where friendships and bonds were made.  The notable travels was in San Diego were Denver was recognized as the Most Regal Court and in Seattle, along with 16 members from ICRME, made the front page of a Seattles newspaper.  

Emperor Johnny and Empress Jackie continued to build bonds within the community and raise substantial funds for several deserving charities.  This was not an easy job with the economy on a downhill slope.  At least two shows were conducted by the family every month along with the Annual Court Functions. These done in BJs Carousel, Hamburger Marys Club M, Charlies, Boyztown, Broadways, and the Compound.  Reign 35 would be the last reign to be Carousel Ball.  

A dream of Jackie's came to a realization with Snow Ball held on Saturday November 22, 2008 at the Four Points by Sheraton Southeast. A Return to Bollywood  A Night at the Taj Majal. Emperor XXXIII Michael Vrooman created a set of color and illusion set for an Indian Queen. During the evening, Empress Jackie awarded the Kinsey Award to Emperor XVIII Gregg Looker for his dedication and hard word toward ICRME. 

King of Hearts was held on Saturday March 14, 2009 at Four Points by Sheraton Southeast. The theme was A Return to Neverland  An Evening of Make Believe. Again Emperor XXXIII Michael Vrooman did an outstanding job in creating a fantasy world of tees, moons, and clocks.  This would be the kick off for the race for Emperor and Empress XXXVI.  Emperor Johnny awarded the Iron Horse/White Dove Humanitarian Award to the R&R for its consistent aid to ICRME and himself over the years. 

Coronation 36  A Return to Camelot  The Johnny and Jackie Years  An Evening at the White House was held on Saturday April 18, 2009 at Four Points by Sheraton Southeast. This would be the last coronation to be held at this wonderful hotel. Emperor XVI Ken Baker designed an astonishing White House. It was a snowy and cold coronation but it prevailed to be a fun and exciting weekend.  During coronation, Reign 35s permanent titles were bestowed.  Emperor Johnny named Alexandra Winters as The Imperial Princess of Authentic Hope To All Monarchs for Life and Empress Jackie named Karen Phillips as The Imperial Grand Czarina To All Monarchs for Life.

Emperor Johnny and Empress Jackie could not have had a successful year without the great people they chose to be on line: Prince Royale 35 Burk Valdez, Princess Royale 35 Mercedes Chanel, King Father 35 and Emperor 30 Chuck Mecham, Queen Mother 35 and Empress 24 Nina Montaldo, Grand Duke 35 Oscar Medina, Grand Duchess 35 Juanita Mercedes De La Cruz, Czar 35 Benny Bear, Czarina 35 Karen Phillips, Marquis 35 Ken Bazan, Marquessa 35 Sasha Andrews, Don 35 Fantasy Angel Cocktail, Reina 35 Star Kirkland, Baroness Stephanie Paul, Count 35 Alex Alba, Countess 35 Shanida Lawya, Daphin 35 Kevin Edwards, Dauphina 35 Sabrina McKay, Imperial Lord 35 Bob Deering, Imperial Lady 35 Mandi Monroe and our Supreme Queen Mother for Life Scotti Carlyle. 

This would be a great memorable year for all from the all ups and downs. It would come to an end with Johnny and Jackie inducted to the College of Monarchs on Sunday, April 20, 2009 and begins Reign XXXVI.
