Our first time out on the playa together, my girlfriend and I stopped by this phone booth and made a couple of calls. And because we stopped, we saw the FSM camp next door, and a giant sign saying "Weddings Here", so we inquired. They offered us free rings and then announced our wedding over a loudspeaker. In 2 minutes we had an entire wedding party, complete with best man, an elder to give away the bride, 25+ guests, and an officiant. My newly-minted best man even gave me one of my favorite playa gifts ever as a wedding gift. We opted not to "make it official", though they offered. It was a truly incredible experience. Thanks FSM!

- FuriouslyAdrift 1mo agoOh I know about it... I just hadn't seen a reference to it in years. Kind of like seeing JR Bob Dobbs or the Church of the Subgenius mentioned.
- nashashmi 1mo agoThe FSM is a fetish attempt to mock some of the world’s largest religions. One day I hope to see the FSM come to be the exact mockery of the people who made it, ie the ones who take somethings in life so damn seriously that they make it something they serve and worship, and then ask it to help them back.
- maximilianthe1 1mo agoDid you make it official later?

- mariusor 1mo agoAnd blessed be short people, for it is on their heads where they rest more heavily.
- k7peak 1mo agoThat's awesome, congrats!!! Amazing things happen on the playa.
- tucnak 1mo agoWhat's the point if not to make it official? Otherwise there are no stakes, no benefit, and the whole thing would amount to cosplay, right?
- freeplay 1mo agoOh I thought make it official meant consummating the marriage in front of everyone. If it meant making it an official marriage, I agree.
- shawn_w 1mo agoGotta go over to Orgy Dome for that.
- virgil_disgr4ce 1mo agowhat's the point of going to burning man? What's the point of going outside? What's the point of reading? what's the point of posting a comment on HN?
- nilamo 1mo agoWhat's the point of going to a murder mystery diner party, if no one gets arrested at the end?
- sebastiennight 1mo agoI love how your idea of the failed murder dinner party seems to still include an actual murder ; the problem is only the absence of an arrest.

- tonymet 1mo agoso a pantomime of an actual wedding? what was her take on that? transient vows, transient friends , transient rings, a parody minister? Quite possibly the most Reddit experience I've ever heard of.
- AlexeyBelov 1mo agoHow is it even slighly related to Reddit? Might be you seeing your most hated website everywhere.
