We had a reasonably traditional Wiccan/Celtic wedding
during the summer of 1996, at The Living Room, in Providence.
The ceremony involved a knighting of the groom, crowning of the
bride, drinking from a chalace, and lighting a series of candles,
in addition to the standard rings and hand-binding.

Guests were encouraged to come in any sort of costume they
wanted. Our friend Andy showed up in a green fairy costume from
Brazil which was truly awe-inspiring.

As soon as we were pronounced husband and wife, turned to the
thunderous cheers of the guests, and started back up the aisle,
James Brown's "I Feel Good" kicked in on the PA. This is a
<a href=wedding-tape.txt>list</a> of the entire tape that was played
at the reception.

<p>

Violent Anal Death were supposed to perform, but they showed up with
no gear, so they just stuck around for the ceremony and the food.
They were very helpfull in scaring the straight relatives and 
making them feel uncomfortable, and for that we will be eternally
thankfull.
