I'm Catholic, he's Jewish-ish, we were married by a Presbyterian very pregnant minisiter near an "energy vortex" on a shaman's land in the hills of Mailbu. Our wedding cake was pies and a tower of ding dongs, twinkies and powdered donuts. I wore purple, he wore white (we surprised each other). I guess we love suprises because almost everything was a surprise--songs from friends and family, the vows, the rings. I’m not sure if it’s weird–but weird by LA standards if that counts.

Although I did perform at my OWN wedding reception in a 4 song jam-session with an all-star lineup of former bandmates. Narcissistic, but fun. Looking back, I can't believe my wife agreed to let me do that...

We wrote it mostly ourselves, using various sources-- I have a script online-- and it was an interesting combination of the normal and the fannish. The ceremony music was from Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, and The Full Monty musical. The ringbearer was literally the Ring-bearer-- he had the rings on a chain around his neck. No costumes, though. But our wedding cake was Minas Tirith. Or a reasonable approximation thereof. Feel free to email me with any questions you have. :) I got married in October in a decidedly nontraditional ceremony.

One of whom was ordained online through the Universal Life Church (legal in Minnesota) and who hastily scrawled his signature on a few forms while eating his hash browns. That was it. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Our marriage “ceremony” consisted of going to Seward Community Cafe for lunch with a few friends.
