Minister/sage/shaman wanted for Burner Wedding!

Post by 15minutesofLame » Fri Jul 11, 2014 5:41 pm

G'day fellow burners!

I wondered if you or someone your know might be able to help us with finding some kind of minister/sage/shaman, someone fun to officiate our burner wedding!?

The person doesn't need to be ordained, for boring legal/technical reasons we had to be married in California last week, but, as we met at burning man last year we wanted to hold a fun ceremony with our burner friends at this years burn...

We could just ask a friend, but it would be cool to find someone with experience, and who might also be able help with suggestions for the format/creation of our ceremony.

Here are the event details so far:

Thanks in advance for any ideas! :D

Love & Light

If you don't need anyone to conduct an official, legal ceremony, I'd work with one of your closest friends (who's going) and have them do it. I've done it for friends, and it's much more meaningful to have someone who's actually involved in your lives conduct the ritual.

Hi, if you're still after someone to officiate your wedding I'd be happy to do this! I officiated one in 2012 for my best friend, I am ordained but have no religious feelings so happy to go with whatever ceremony you'd want!

Hi Rev!

Thanks so much for your offer... I meant to update this post, we actually found a Shaman via Armadillo @ weddings so we are all sorted and excited.

But thank you so much for your kind offer!
