I do!

Please join me in celebrating, supporting and reveling in Katia and Pete's playa nuptuals. Helen, Shira and I have asked the engaged couple what their dream wedding would be, and we would like campalicians to help us bring their vision to fruition.

For Katia, we would love to weave a bridal ritual into the mix of the women's circle on Wednesday. Shira, our sculptor, will be fashioning a hand-made crown which will be adorned with beads and ribbons by each woman (we will provide these). It would also be lovely if someone who is arriving on Thursday could bring a small bouquet of fresh flowers for her (calla lilies are her favorite).

It's important to Katia that these festivities do not take over the campalicious activity calendar but are simply integrated as part of what we're already doing. Therefore... for the ceremony and reception:

Thursday's procession could be their wedding ceremony. Their vision is that everyone wears white/silver and we walk as a group out to the temple (or another spot). The Boulder girls will bring five poles flowing with white fabric which can be carried by individual campalicians. They would also love music to be part of all of this, so bring any instruments you have (especially any sort of drums). Once we stop, we will circle 'round them and people can step forward to offer their blessing, well-wishes or poems of choice. The drums will signal the commencement and we can proceed back to camp to enjoy the potluck feast.

As far as the potluck, although we will be celebrating their wedding, Katia and Pete would want this to continue on as the camplicious bonding event as planned.

Please chime in on these plans and let us know (individually or to the group) if this sounds like something you would support or if you have any other thoughts, ideas, concerns on the matter. Again, Katia and Pete don't want to feel like they're taking over, but since we all love them so much, we wanted to put this idea out to the group and see if you all are up for it.

Love from 2 Virgins and Wonder Woman

If anyone who isn't coming to the playa this year would like to include anything... please let us know!
