Covered Wagon Weddings
Second Rule of Wedding Guests: there will always be people who can’t attend your special day.
First Rule of Wedding Guests: there will always be one person who doesn’t attend because he or she is already attending another wedding.
Nowhere in the rules does it say, “said person will not be attend your ceremony because she is going to a covered wagon wedding.”
Yep. A mutual friend just informed Chris and me that she is playing the violin in a covered wagon wedding on the same day as our final ceremony. I would love to link you to a page that shows what that is, but apparently whomever is having this affair is the very first person to do so and doesn’t feel like broadcasting their covered=wagonness to the world.
Since there isn’t a web page, I decided to add some images to show you what I think a covered wagon might include:
A little bit of this…

And a lot of this:
Okay, maybe the groom won’t be dressed up like a Star Wars character, but I think you get the point.
According to our friend, the covered wagon wedding party will circle the campfire with said covered wagons, where they will spend the night before and after the wedding. Make of that what you will, but remember, I’m not a camper, so you can imagine my horror at the thought of covered wagon showers and covered wagon bathrooms.
What the craziest wedding you’ve ever attended? Please, don’t say mine as a) it has happened yet and b) you’ll bruise my fragile little ego. Remember, I’m shy and easily scarred.

I’ve always wanted to do-see-do (or however you spell that) with Darth Vader.
I went to a potluck wedding once. we brought the food instead of the bride and groom doing the food. I have to say, it was really nice, though some people thought that the bride and groom were being cheap.
That is a hilarious reason to skip a wedding.
My sister is going to a clothing optional wedding this summer. Seriously.
I went to a Strawberry Shortcake wedding of a girl who I went to High school with. No joke. And we’re not talking the dessert, but that stupid little doll!
Jaime, can we have sleeping kittens at our wedding?
Pirate themed wedding on the cliffs of Santa Barbara…bride and groom repelled from the 3rd floor balcony at the reception. Cake was in a treasure chest, etc…and of course there was grog…pretty fun!
Wow, looks like you have some major competition in the “Best Original Wedding Idea”category. Thanks for linking me
I’m linking you back!
Jo- I just added you as a Stuff We Like blog- though I had to rename you because your blog has a name that would make my mama cringe! Everyone- check it out. It rocks.
This Summer I’m going to a “rock musical” wedding, featuring 10-12 original songs performed by the groom and wedding party, and MC’d by the groom’s 12-year-old son. Clothing required, last I checked. And sadly, no kitties in blankets.
One of my favorite weddings featured an amazing drag queen show which the husband introduced in drag himself. Among the guests the bride’s mother flown in from Japan, people from all walks of life, conservative to liberal, and EVERYBODY loved it. Needless to say this took place in the Bay Area.
I’ve been to a Star Wars wedding, complete with bride Leia, groom Han Solo, best man Darth Vader, father of the groom Darth Maul, a lot of Jedi’s including a Blue slave, and me as R2D2 complete with lights and sound effects.
I dig the covered wagon wedding, but the clothing optional one is a little sketchy and I would need the invite a year in advance to mentally and physically prepare.
sounds a little hokey to me.
