Ceremony Starts at 4:20, Bro.

I just came across this wedding on the net, and holy balls... Here I thought our wedding was "offbeat." Ha! Boy, was I wrong. This wedding blows us out of the bong water.  Well, I guess that's expected when two of the biggest marijuana activists get married and invite their closest marijuana activist friends. Yep, that would be the result of taking one of the "D's" in "wedding" and replacing it with an "E." 
 
If your asshole is scrunching in uptight horror right about now from the subject matter of this post, then you need to get a clue, marijuana isn't hurting anybody, then I suggest you close your browser, if you haven't already...*

Ok. Remember when I joked and said that after the judge pronounces us "Husband and Wife," we're going  to perform the ceremonial lover's kegstand?  Well get a load of this: After the officiant pronounced these two hippie-lettuce-lovers "Husband and Wife," they packed a bowl of the finest herb The Great White North has to offer in their ornately designed, three foot bong, both took enormous, ball-busting rips, then "exchanged the holy smoke" with a kiss.

Not.Even.Shitting.You. 

See this picture right over here... the one with the bride doing a keg stand... Doesn't sound *quite* as nuts as it did before, am I right? Certainly not compared to a bride and groom double-teaming a  3-foot bong in lieu of an "I Do"...

This may sound totally crazy, but this wedding weeding, above all emotions, made me undeniably, and utterly happy.  I live in the land of freedom California where it's legal to get a Medical Marijuana license, so it's not such a taboo thing to smoke out here. With that said, I loved everything about this wedding.  Even though marijuana is generally considered "wildly inappropriate" for a wedding, I didn't see it that way at all in this case. I saw this marriage as an extremely proud display of "flying one's freak flag" with heads held high (literally). And let's be clear; by "freak flag," I mean "true personality." I don't care what your politics are. If that's the wedding this couple wanted in their hearts, then you have to give it up to them for letting it bleed.

My point is this: Why would you ever want someone who doesn't support your's and your partner's unique love to attend your wedding? It simply doesn't make any sense in my mind. I say, "Embrace me. Love me for the person that I am, and the life partner I will be." And I suppose those that wanted to celebrate that special kind of love, attended. And those that didn't, didn't. Simple as that. This wedding shows me that love is expressed in many, beautifully strange and awesome ways. And that a wedding truly can be a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g you want to make it.**

And let's get one thing straight, once and for all: If my ass were present at this wedding, I'd be the first to light the *fuck* up. There. I said it.

Who's with me!?


*Ok. I admit that was mean of me. I love all of my readers. My apologies for the slight outburst.
**Yeah, I'm admitting my rant post on Twilight-themed Weddings completely goes against this statement. What can I say? I've grown, people.

  2. That's why it's a blast to be in CA. I'm with you. While I'm not sure I would get married in that way, it's great to see how free some people are at expressing exactly what they believe and stand for. More power to them! ;)

  6. I'm with you. This is effing awesome.

    On another note, we put aside this random long weekend after recovering from Mardi Gras to work on the wedding playlist for the cocktail hour/dinner and dancing portion of the evening. This is taking FOREVER. I think we may have some overlapping taste in music, so if y'all have started this, can you share? Otherwise I will anxiously await your post on it. I will post ours as soon as its done. Which feels like never.

  7. You're awesome and I'd be passing you a lighter.

    Thank you for sharing this most hilarious article. There are some quotes that are too good to go unhighlighted, but here's my favorite:

    The groom "...is the author of several pioneering books that contain startling revelations about the role of cannabis in religion, history, and the future. His work on the use of cannabis by Jesus and other Biblical figures has been lauded as containing significant new discoveries about the role of marijuana in attaining spiritual perfection."

    Brings whole new energy to the question WWJD? ;-)

  9. Can't really say I agree with the mary-j I've just seen it fuck up people. (Grumpy Dr anna!) But you're not asking me to take the toke.

    Do what you want, girl. You know you're gonna love it! And fuck those who disagree. It's not about them.

  10. LOL! Not us... i was talking about a different couple who did it. as much as i'd *enjoy* sealing our union w/a 3 foot bong rip, I don't think we're quite headed in that direction. I just appreciate those who dare to *truly* be themselves at their wedding - even if it means smokin' the ganj, ya dig?
