Getting married on the playa--what would you wear?

adept · Post by **adept** » Wed Aug 09, 2006 9:08 am

We will be posting directions to our wedding (and afterparty) at the tower of triumphant struggle, my friend's art installation. There is a chance we will decide to be married at the tower, but directions will be there either way. We will be tying the knot (literally, it is a handfasting) on Friday evening.

My question is, if you were getting married on the playa, what would you want to wear? So far I don't have any amazing ideas or amazing costumes, and if nothing great comes up, I'll be wearing nothing. That's not a big issue, but I would love to hear your ideas. I'm male and my fiance is looking for ideas as well.

A little bit about us: We are a couple from Utah, this is our first burningman. We have thrown theme camps at regionals together and we throw desert events together on a regular basis. We have a D/s element to our relationship, so fetish type costume ideas we would probably love. I've worn all the fetish wear I own in the desert so much though that it seems like nothing special.

Chain yourselves together for the reception.

After much consideration -

I would wear cowboy boots and women's boy shorts. That's all.

And yeah, I'm a straight guy. Okay - I know - don't go straight , go forward. So, I am a forward guy.

I got married in the dress I met my future wife in. It was a lovely black velvet sheath.

Wear what makes you most happy.

We'd both have on big, gigantic angel wings. Sigh.

That would be fun, I'll make sure to bring some rope so we can continue tying if we get the urge to do more after the hand fasting. Here's a photo of my 24th birthday, me all tied up very comfy by Phoenix!!! http://hektik.org/phoenix/main.php?g2_v ... alNumber=2

AntiM, we would love it if you could come to the ceremony. Phoenix specifically told me that she wanted you to be one of the witnesses.

EDIT: We'll be at the potluck saturday so we can explain better then if you're coming :)
