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!
Did you make it official later?
Blessed be his noodly appendages!
And blessed be short people, for it is on their heads where they rest more heavily.

"For the rest of the week of Burning Man, a phone booth is standing on the dusty street corner of 3:30 and Celba, in front of the Temple of the Flying Spaghetti Monster in Black Rock City, Nevada for anyone to use."

What was the gift?
What'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?
What's the point of going to a murder mystery diner party, if no one gets arrested at the end?
I 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.
Oh I thought make it official meant consummating the marriage in front of everyone. If it meant making it an official marriage, I agree.
Gotta go over to Orgy Dome for that.
what'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?
That's awesome, congrats!!! Amazing things happen on the playa.
