393--Wyoming: Anita & Ken's "Anything Goes" Wedding
@ Site News Aug 01 2007 - 09:14 PST

Would you invite Gumby to your wedding? At Anita & Ken's "Anything Goes" wedding, guests were encouraged to wear costumes.

cherie writes: When I got the Drever wedding invitation I knew I had to go. After the typical formalities the invite said: reception and piñata after the ceremony.

Anita told her guests it was an “anything goes” wedding. If down-to-earth Anita was going to have to wear a wedding dress, then everyone was going to have to wear a costume. Thus it was a wedding with bears and bees, hunters and cowgirls, and red-barons and green-clay figures (Gumby!) Daryl got all dressed up and wore his nicest black Slayer T-shirt.

The ceremony started with a drum circle and the bride bounced down the “aisle” to the beat of her friends banging on anything from a bucket to a tambourine. Instead of the traditional “unity candle”, the couple opted to pour two liquids into a bowl that created a chemical reaction that foamed up to form this hideous polyurethane thing.

After the delicious food and champagne toasts, we ate the igloo cake and marzipan frog dessert and then headed outside to whack the piñata until it exploded liquor-filled chocolates.

“When my daughter first told me her wedding ideas, I thought they were a bit kooky,” confessed Anita’s father in his heartfelt speech. “But I never knew a wedding could be so much fun!”

368--Nevada: Burning Man--The Waxlax Wedding
@ CherieSpotting Sep 14 2006 - 13:56 PST

After over a decade of dating, Rennie and Anne tied the knot. We re-created the ceremony at Burning Man with silk boxers for the groom and a thrift-store bought wedding dress for the bride.

cherie writes: For Rennie and Anne, marriage wasn’t about tradition. After dating for over a decade, the happy couple got married in Las Vegas in private ceremony for two on June 17th.

To commemorate this event, we recreated the Waxlax wedding on the playa at Burning Man. Rennie, the groom, was dashing in his pink sequence bow tie and silk boxers. A few ladies (Cherie, Karem, Eva & Kari) slipped into old prom dresses and helped Anne into her thrift-store wedding gown bought for $8. (Bridemaids who joined us in spirit were Char, Jean and Margaret!)

The desert wedding was filled with traditions such as the bridal bouquet toss and a ride into the sunset on a purple dinosaur. As Richard Bach said: True love stories never have endings.

3. The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. --Carl Jung

227--Wisconsin: Black Celebration (The Wedding Party!)
@ Site News Aug 25 2004 - 09:58 PST

How many bride's are down-to-earth enough to use a Port-a-Poddy on their wedding day? Only the best for this wonderful couple!

cherie writes: The Black Celebration happened on Aug 19, 2004. Family and friends of Allison and Sam Black danced and partied all night long in honor of the bride and groom.

You couldn't have dreamed up a better lake-side wedding. The food was delicious, the 8-peice band went all night, and there was even "premium" Port-o-Poddies.

Speeches were made, tears were shed, and smiles could be found in each corner of the tent!
