This Tribe isn't about slamming The Knot or other online resources, but let's face it--there's not a lot out there that doesn't smack you in the face with the notion that you have to buy every little doo-dad out there for your wedding, or have the Ultimate Princess Wedding.

What about those of you who want to get married on the Playa, or those who've been shooed away from vendors because you want a same-sex commitment ceremony (legally binding or otherwise?)

Have at it. Share your experiences. For full disclosure, I'm a professional wedding photographer and one-time event planner. Sure, I wouldn't mind getting some business out of this Tribe, but since I tend to book up fairly easily anyway, I'm considering this as a) a way to answer your questions about how wedding vendors operate b) an excuse to keep up with all the Tribes stuff while "working", and c) do my part to make your wedding a bit less of a headache.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding--whether it be a rock opera or simply the two of you on the beach at sunset.
