My Fiance and I want to get married Friday night at Bonnaroo X. But we need somebody to marry us. We want it to be a very personal and spiritual experience, but we don't want like, a minister. We're not having the marriage sanctioned or ordained by the government or anything (personal objections to gov't interferences and whatnot) so they would not have to be like, ordained or anything. Ideally it would be a spiritual leader of sorts, a shaman, high priest, etc, who has performed a marriage before. We are not religious, but very spiritual, and looking for somebody to guide us through the ceremony. Know anybody who's gonna be there?
i agree lono would be a win. i've done about 6 weddings, all legal but am more than happy to do a spiritual one as well if lono isn't free. let me know

I will consider it an honor let me review all of the legal details and contact the Coffee County Courthouse. Thanks everyone for having confidence in me I would be glad to do this for the support the community has given me. Now can we hear just a bit about these love birds story and while we are all on this thread I am sure there is an interesting story. I would like to hear it.

lono: do you need to get legal stuff worked out if we're not getting LEGALLY married? As far as our story goes, we met at a small town festival last year called Full Moon Ball. We literally fell in love instantly, like, unbelievably. Moved "out" together (we left indoor living and lived outside for a little while) and haven't been away from each other for a single day since. We're 22 weeks pregnant now with a little boy, and have been engaged since December. I've been to Roo before, in '07, and my best friend, also engaged to be wed in July, bought me a ticket to Roo for my BDay. Then a good friend of mine surprised us with another ticket as a wedding/baby gift. Obviously we were elated! Music is so incredibly important to both of us, and plays a huge role in our relationship and in our lives. We immediately decided that it was fate for us to be wed under a shady tree, mid afternoon, on Friday, surrounded by music and music lovers, separated entirely from the "real world" and in our own fantasy land.
Well if this an informal affair I see no objections. To me when you say you are a couple you are a couple end of story. The government does not regulate love in my eyes or probably half of the Bonnaroo populace. The story is very touching and summoning a new life shows that you have moved creation with your union. After all half of the fun of Bonnaroo is that for a time we are free of that outer world. Wow doing Bonnaroo at around 7 months of pregnancy? Bold let me figure out something auspicious for the occasion and hammer it out for the ceremony.

By the way Gnorris has anyone sold you on the benefits of underwater birthing? because I know some peopl that wherever you are located could probable reccomend a good midwife. I am a semi-enthusiastic proponent of it. I admit I have not really studied up on the subject however from everything I hear it really helps the child. I have never had children so I have never really looked into it but it kind of crosses over into an area I am expert in. Just a thought !

My old college roomate asked me to do their wedding in July. I have never done anything like this, but I am honored and excited to be part of their experience. I think this is awesome and Lono will do a great job! or I think Wolfman Jess has done weddings before. I would like to help or just be at your wedding at Roo if you let me.
lono: we are planning on having an at-home water birth. Right now the issues we are facing is that we live in the state of georgia, where home births are illegal, so insurance will not cover a midwife. We have been talking to a few people right now about midwives they have used, different payment plans, birthing ideals, etc., but if you know any midwives anywhere near the north GA mountains I would LOVE to know! As far as our Roo wedding goes, its really sounding like you're just they person we've been looking for to share our experience with. It really thrills me that you're so willing to make this day so special for us. and Scrog: of course you can be there, I'm sure we'll be attracting somewhat of a crowd. My family will not be there, unless of course they wanna pay for a ticket to the fest, and it will be a very low-scale, private ceremony, but we won't be putting up police tape or anything lol

I will contact my friend she went to Vanderbilt for her classes so knows her stuff might I also suggest hitting up The Farm not Bonnaroo farm they are professionals about this type of thing and have a certain noteriety. The Farm is a huge intentinal living community not far from nashville buncha hippies moved in in the 60's and bought up a ton of land and made a town www.thefarm.org/ probably one of the best kept secrets around the bonnaroo area surprised nobody has mentioned it before. Also make sure that you have adequate skilled help I am no medic but if the baby gets turned or something during delivery it would be hard to do without any medical knowledge. Also you would not have adequate facilities on hand in case of a worse case scenario for instance if you needed heart monitor etc. I know most babies are born without problems. However in a worse case scenario you never know what you will need. The inherit difficulty with children in humans lies in the fact the head is much bigger then what they are comming out of. That is why we are only 10% as smart as dolphins.

Re: a midwife, check out the mothering.com forums, and The Farm/Ina May Gaskin. There's a lot of rouge midwives out there. I highly support the ability for women to have the birthing experience that THEY want and is best for them and their baby. Waterbirths are so wonderful and natural.
yea definitely have considered case of emergency situations, but midwives always have the same equipment and materials available at a home-birth as a free standing birthing center would have, including monitors, pitocin, etc. we also live close enough to a hospital that if God-forbid anything were to really go wrong that could not be handled at home, we would be at a hospital in no time
Even someone like me that works in EMS, we still have little equipment to help out with births, but it still happens. Its always good to be close to a hospital or facility that can handle an emergency, hopefully nothing happens.

If you are in n. GA then you should consider coming up to chattanooga. My wife and I found a great midwife there to do our home birth. Amazing experience I wouldn't trade for anything.

As part of the inivitations to the wedding in some parts of Bulgaria little cakes are sent to the guests. Corn is sprinkled over the happy couple and girls as they dance. The bride kisses rings of all married women at the wedding. Each of these women gives her a fig for luck.
^ Looking up wedding ceremonies I found this I am researching this now going to read a bit more woolgather and try and make a ceremony fit for the couple

I think since technically this is a non-legal wedding I will incorporate the African-American tradition of jumping a broom to show our snub at authority since technically slaves were not allowed to be married. I will figure a few more twists into it as well.

i wonder if we can find a willing kid/parent deal at kidz jam for a flowergirl? we will need a broom, two ushers, a flowergirl, some hemp rope we can do that handfasting thing with, some peeps to give some people away if the bride and groom have friends or family with them to that that would be aweosme, a photographer, some of yu girls that show up to this need to pick a bunch of flowers out in the campgrounds before they get smashed flat by wooks with big feet, a golf cart to haul them away after the ceremony, everyone must take their shoes off for the ceremony i need to write some word things to go with this plan and are there any vows the bride and groom wish to exchange?

also we need to decide on location the tree thing rules out the stages it will probably be better in the tent area and perhaps conduct this on thursday before everyone wanders off and forgets what they are doing

Based on this, shouldn't the happy couple, and not the presiding functionary, determine the spiritual/ceremonial aspects of the occasion?

We're not having the marriage sanctioned or ordained by the government or anything (personal objections to gov't interferences and whatnot) so they would not have to be like, ordained or anything.
