My beloved daughter just informed us that she is engaged (to a great guy) and will be wed on the Playa on September 1 2012. She graciously acknowledged that Burning Man is not everyone's cup of meat and promised a "real world" reception at home (in New Orleans). But I want to be there for the great moment. My wife and I tend more towards the Paris/Ritz/Suite mode of travel.
Is it possible to be there for the day of the wedding, maybe spend a night in a rented RV, and then leave them to the Burn?
Thanks!
Aldo

Yes, it is possible. Make sure you park the behemoth someplace you can get out to the street without having other vehicles move.

Re: Daughter's 2012 Wedding?
Congratulations to your daughter on their coming nuptials! And to answer your question... Yes, absolutely (to only staying a few days). You'll still buy regular event tickets (they don't do daily passes), and you'll make your own arrangements with your RV company of choice. There are several companies out there, some even offer on-playa delivery of said vehicle with bicycles. There's no driving in the city once you arrive at your camp, so bikes are a definite plus.
You may, however, consider doing your daughter the honor of taking an interest in something that clearly means something important to her. If you get the opportunity, peruse this site a little bit and see what the city has to offer. There is no specific age bracket that Burning Man appeals to, the city is filled with individuals of all ages, and there's no shortage of things to see and do for just about any and every taste. For example, if you back out all the 'dance party madness' you still have a city with ten times more to see than you'll ever be able to experience in the time you could be there. It would be easy for you to come to the city to attend the festivities, and then leave her to her festivities while you and your wife enjoy your own stay in quite possibly the most luxurious desert on earth (some of the RV's are quite posh, and as absurd as the notion may sound the festival is in many ways 'top shelf' across the board). Whichever way you go, good luck with your plans!
