There are lots of fake marriages done there.  Did you mean the real thing?  Can't think of anyone in the Burning Sky camp, but with 50,000+ people there, your odds of finding someone qualified by posting at the info booth or asking on Black Rock Radio are excellent.

I seem to recall Andy Ussach as having some qualifications to do this. You might try contacting him directly. I could be mistaken and I'm not 100% positive my recollection is correct

Were doing it for real... When you get a license in NV I'm pretty sure your married. The rest is just for fun...

Ok, so a couple of my friends got married out there in 2008 and my buddy Ren Huschle (who is a skydiver/ordained minister) performed a skydive wedding out there.. Basically all they had to do is fill out the paperwork in the county that the wedding takes place and Ren did a little ceremony on the ground after the skydive..

If you were interested in incorporating skydiving into the wedding, I could make a call to Ren and see if he'd be interested in going again this year..

Here is the video of the wedding...

Chris is correct, I am ordained, and will be there this year.  Let me know what you have in mind, and when you might want to do it.

My other camp - Ashram Galatica, the Grand Hotel - usually hosts a couple of real weddings every year in our main tent.  We can provide a (real) ordained minister or you can bring your own.  We also have a honeymoon suite that, while in high demand, is quite delectable for the newlywed set!  For further info, contact our concierge:  concierge@ashramgalactica.com.

In a pinch, I'm also ordained and could tie the knot for you...

Cheers,

Scott: If you do any jump for this, look me up ahead of time to coordinate for video and pictures  ;)

I'm not sure what we will do jump wise. She isn't capable of jumping solo--a tandem would be the only option...

Chris,

Thanks for the info! The Galatica look like an awesome place to get hitched! I will contact the concierge and see what we can sort out.
