Congrats to those who are going to get married at Bonnaroo. I think it's great to get married just about anywhere, and much more dignified than somewhere like Vegas.
And who can disagree with a weekend-long reception with friends?
I wouldn't mind if my boyfriend of 7.5 years proposed at Bonnaroo. But I find it highly unlikely.
We treat mishaps like sinking ships and I know that I don't want to be out to drift Well I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips and They both tell me that we're better than this

I have just as much a right as anyone else on here to say what is and what is not a lame place to get married; and in my opinion Roo is an extremely lame/ trashy place to tie the knot.
its just about respect man. if you think its lame, keep it to yourself.. why ruin someone elses good time??? ?
Why on earth should one keep their opinions to themselves? If you have an opinion you have a right to be able to voice it whether other people like it or not. People protest things all the time. Are you telling them to keep their opinions to themselves? Just from now on use you head before you say things…

Natalie and Derek, you two look like a fine couple! Congratulations Lucy and Adam.
I'm an ordained and card carrying minister in the church of spiritual humanism and have marriage certificates on hand. If your interested in a short and sweet ceremony, I could likely perform it for you.
If you decide to go for it and would like my help, feel free to ask. I wish you both all the best in your lives together.
Here are the state laws regarding marriage in Tennessee
PART 1 LICENSE 36-3-101. Prohibited degrees of relationship. Marriage cannot be contracted with a lineal ancestor or descendant, nor the lineal ancestor or descendant of either parent, nor the child of a grandparent, nor the lineal descendants of husband or wife, as the case may be, nor the husband or wife of a parent or lineal descendant. [Code 1858, § 2436 (deriv. Acts 1829, ch. 23, § 18); Shan., § 4185; Code 1932, § 8408; T.C.A. (orig. ed.), § 36-401.] 36-3-102. Second marriage before dissolution of first prohibited - Effect of absence for five years. A second marriage cannot be contracted before the dissolution of the first. But the first shall be regarded as dissolved, for this purpose, if either party has been absent five (5) years, and is not known to the other to be living. [Code 1858, § 2438 (deriv. Acts 1829, ch. 23, § 16); Shan., § 4188; Code 1932, § 8411; T.C.A. (orig. ed.), § 36-404.] 36-3-103. License required - County of issuance. (a) Before being joined in marriage, the parties shall present to the minister or officer a license under the hand of a county clerk in this state, directed to such minister or officer, authorizing the solemnization of a marriage between the parties. Such license shall be valid for thirty (30) days from its issuance by the clerk. (b) All existing marriages which occurred before March 24, 1986, are validated if a marriage certificate was signed by the county clerk either from a county in which the female did not reside or from a county where the marriage was not solemnized. (c) (1) The county clerk issuing a marriage license is hereby authorized to record and certify any license used to solemnize a marriage which is properly signed by the officiant when such license is returned to the issuing county clerk. The issuing county clerk shall forward the record to the office of vital records to be filed and registered with such office. If a license issued by a county clerk in Tennessee is used to solemnize a marriage outside Tennessee, such marriage and parties, their property and their children shall have the same status as if the marriage were solemnized in this state. A county clerk is prohibited from issuing a license for a marriage which is prohibited in this state. (2) All existing marriages occurring prior to May 2, 1989, by the authority of a Tennessee license, properly signed and certified by the officiant, are validated and the issuing clerk is authorized to record such license when it is returned to the issuing county 3 clerk and to forward the record to the office of vital records to be filed and registered with such office.

Should either individual be incarcerated, the inmate shall not be made to appear but shall submit a notarized statement containing the name, age, current address and a name and address of the individual's parents, guardian or next of kin. If an applicant has a disability which prevents the applicant from appearing, the applicant may submit a notarized statement containing the person's name, age, current address and the names and address of the parents, guardian or next of kin. (b) (1) If either applicant is under eighteen (18) years of age, the application shall remain on file, open to the public, in the office of the county clerk for three (3) full days before issuance of the license. No waiting period shall apply if both parents, the guardian or the next of kin of any minor applicant join in the application. No waiting period shall apply if both applicants are eighteen (18) years of age or over. (2) If either applicant is under eighteen (18) years of age, immediately upon filing of the application, the county clerk shall cause to be sent by registered mail to the parents, guardian or next of kin of any minor applicant, a notice of the application.

(b) The legal union in matrimony of only one (1) man and one (1) woman shall be the only recognized marriage in this state. (c) Any policy, law or judicial interpretation that purports to define marriage as anything other than the historical institution and legal contract between one (1) man and one (1) woman is contrary to the public policy of Tennessee.

I'm sorry but this is just the lamest thing I have ever heard. Getting married a roo, what a disgrace
Yeah you can call something lame if you want to be a judgemental ass, but don't crap on someone's wedding by calling it a disgrace. That's the lamest thing I've ever heard.
Thanks for your opinion though Troll. (sarcasm)
Anyway, big congrats to Natalie & Derek! Surrounded by Love, Good Vibes, and 90,000 of your closest friends, what could be better. You look like a very happy couple who will stand the test of time!

What about if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!! Congratulations all four of you.
And as far as ordained goes, My wife and I were married by a buddy of ours who was ordained through the the Universal Life Church (online) just for our wedding. It was legal and continues to be a great marriage (6 years in July). Nothing against any of the ordained folks here, but you might consider having one of your close friends get ordained so you can have someone special to you officiate. (not that a stranger wouldn't become instantly special after they married you)

I (this is adam now, btw) want to thank everyone for the positive vibes in regards to the weddings, of course I wouldn't expect any less from the inforoo community. One troll can't bring a group like this down.
I specifically want to thank wizardofwonder for the helpful post and incredibly generous offer. Taking the time out of your bonnaroo experience to do something so kind for someone is a truly generous act, and it is much appreciated. Sometime in the near future (the next day or two), once we have figured everything out and made sure we are able to get a marriage license on the way, we will PM you if we can use your assistance. I think we will probably take you up on the offer, but if not I still want to offer my heartfelt gratitude for putting it out. Also, thanks for taking the time to post Tennessee marriage law. Truly awesome.
In the mean time, here a picture of the two of us. If you see us walking around, feel free to strike up a conversation. The more people we meet from inforoo the better.

Sometime in the near future (the next day or two), once we have figured everything out and made sure we are able to get a marriage license on the way, we will PM you if we can use your assistance. I think we will probably take you up on the offer, but if not I still want to offer my heartfelt gratitude for putting it out. Also, thanks for taking the time to post Tennessee marriage law. Truly awesome.
In the mean time, here a picture of the two of us. If you see us walking around, feel free to strike up a conversation. The more people we meet from inforoo the better.

You guys are so adorable together! I can tell from the picture that you care about one another extremely deeply! Congrats on tying the knot, and hopefully my boyfriend and I can witness it at Roo with ya'll! ;D

so many negative trolls the past few days.
Congrats to those who are going to get married at Bonnaroo. I think it's great to get married just about anywhere, and much more dignified than somewhere like Vegas.
And who can disagree with a weekend-long reception with friends?
I wouldn't mind if my boyfriend of 7.5 years proposed at Bonnaroo. But I find it highly unlikely.
that's what i'm sayin! my hubby and i are celebrating our 2 year anniversary at bonnaroo - just like we celebrated our first last year! so, it's awesome to combine our love for each other and for music with awesome friends - new and old alike! congrats and best wishes to both couples!!i hope i get to witness the beauty

Congrats to you both. Roo may not be the textbook example of a "romantic wedding," but I was never one for all that bullshit anyway, and neither is my wife. We got married in 2000, and by the time Roo 02 rolled around our marriage was getting more than a little shakey. We were hardly talking to one another, but we resolved to go to Roo together since we already had tix and no one else to go with. We had a great time and things slowly started getting better. Now its 07 and were still together and in love more than ever, and we make it a point to visit Roo each year to remind us how much fun we have together. It may sound cheesey to that stupid troll, but I think Bonnaroo is a very powerful force that was the first step toward saving our marriage. So..why not get married there? Have a blast and a thousand blessings on your union!

I couldn't think of a better place to get married than Bonnaroo. So much love. My husband and I get closer every single year (even when we think we couldn't be any closer). Cheers to you all!
That is so cool. I think if word got around about this, I think you would have the entire population of Bonnaroo at your wedding. Now how would that be for your wedding?

Your more then welcome Adam.
Bonnaroo for me is really about community, and I won't be taking anything out of my Bonnaroo experience to spend some time with you and Lucy, it will only make for a unique and amazing Bonnaroo experience for everyone involved I'm sure.
Please feel free to send a message and I'll give you my cell #.
I'll be at the Kampground of America (KOA) next to the Bonnaroo site in Manchester on Tuesday and Wednesday before the fest if you want to catch up with me there to work out any details.

if you really want to meet a bunch of inforooers you guys should stop by brunch on Friday morning! You could use it as your wedding rehearsal brunch!
Congrats guys! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
That's a great idea!! We just signed up at camp inforoo, so we'll have to check out the brunch thread also. We have like 17 boxes of various granola and breakfast bars that we were afraid we all wouldn't be able to consume during the weekend, so this works out perfectly! BTW My real name is Jess, I just liked the way Lucy-Roo sounded (but Adam is really Adam)
Well, ghostface... we think it is great. Our friends, our love, music... what more could we ask for? Plus, when you are truly in love, like we are, location does not matter. We are so excited about planning this wonderful day around such an amazing festival. It will never be forgotten.

derek & natalie,
I (adam), just wanted to congratulate you personally. I know jess (Lucyroo) already did, but I felt like I should too.
You guys are the reason we are getting married at 'roo. We were planning for next fall, and seeing your thread made us realize that THIS was how we were meant to get married. No stress caused by the minutiae of planning a typical wedding, making sure everything goes smoothly, and everyones happy, not to mention the cost. Just friends, good vibes, and the bands we love most playing our reception.
Seriously, the idea wouldn't have sparked if it weren't for your post, and I want to thank you for that. By posting what you did, you've made an incredibly positive impact in our lives, and were grateful for that.
BTW, if your going to see Tool, keep an eye out for us, cause that's where we are doing it.

Apparently, I can perform marriages.
Man, THAT would be something for the podcast!!!
I would totally get you guys a copy of the audio if you wanted me to do it. I'd have 2 mics going... One for me, one for the middle of the two of you. I don't have the certificate from the site, but I registered probably 2 or 3 years ago.
Getting married at Roo is so AWESOME! Congrats to both couples! ;D ;D ;D
Some people thought it was cheesy when I got married at the Renaissance Festival (not married anymore), but it was seriously the best wedding I've ever been to. That is a completely unbiased opinion - I'm not just saying that cuz it was mine. It was so fun and people were drunk before the ceremony even started! ;D
