So my gf suggested that Bonnaroo have a Vegas-style wedding chapel. I think it's a cool idea. Just wanted to see what you guys thought? I think it would be a huge hit. So is it a good idea or would too many "hard partiers" stumble from Roo wondering why they're married, similar to the movie What Happen's In Vegas?

I've done some messed up stuff that I didn't remember the next day, but I refuse to believe that I would do anything THAT messed up, no matter what mixture of substances I imbibed....cool idea though, especially if Robert Randolph was the organ player.
going with lakai on this one - the option of a fake wedding is cool, but why not have real ones on a certain day / time. pre-arranged only - no spur of the moment stuff.

I think doing some sort of fake marriage thing would be neat. Or maybe a giant "commitment ceremony" conducted by whatever hippie commune wants to come and do it... No real marriages tho, unless they are presided over by the Rev. Al Green. Then I would get married at roo.

That would be so cool. I would totally do it, but me and my guy have been together for 5 years. I could see some people doing it and waking up the next morning going "WTF who are you and who tattooed this ring on my finger?"

they had something like that at vegoose, it was a fake wedding chapel where you could get "married" by elvis...but i think it was mostly since the fest was in vegas that they did that...

Superfly productions had a wedding chapel at Vegoose so they could have one at Bonnaroo - but maybe the laws for marriages in TN are different than Vegas.
weird. in fl you have to wait 3 days after applying to have a ceremony, and its valid for 60 days from that date on. we got ours a few weeks before the wedding just to be on the safe side, otherwise we would have had to get it the tuesday before our wedding (fri) and thats when people started flying in and we probably would have forgotten.
i think a group ceremony would be cool, but something that you had to sign up for AHEAD OF TIME, so you don't end up making a life-changing decision when possibly under the influence or swept up in the moment.
i also like the idea of a big commitment ceremony type thing. then us old married folk could join in, recommitting ourselves to our partners in a very special place amid plenty of good love vibes.
Maybe not a terrible idea, if you had to like notify the management a month in advance of Roo or something.
I was just gonna suggest something like this. I think if Bonnaroo had some kind of sign-up far in advance (though that might be taking the idea too far) it would be great. To be honest the farm is like heaven on Earth, I would definitely want my wedding to occur there

the fakeout marriages would be fun for a laugh I guess, but definitely not a legitimate Roo endorsed chapel.. I can just see all the worms trying to crawl out of that can.
I've wanted my bf to propose to me at Bonnaroo and told him so before last years, he doesn't believe me, tho. UGH!
COMPLETELY with you there. That would be awesome.
Awww.
If he does, I hope he doesn't bring the ring. It may be the one and only time you'd see it before it disappeared into mud/dust/whatever else Mother Nature throws our way.

It's ok if it's waterbottle ring or ziptie! or just draw it on my finger!!!
