Hello, all, I have a couple of friends with whom I've acted this past year who are planning to get married, and one of their options is a Ren Fest ceremony. They would like to communicate with folks who have gone through this (being married in Revel Grove, that is) as they have questions about such things as, can one have a reception in a tavern (and how does one do it?), etc. If you have either been married or attended a wedding at MDRF and wouldn't mind being asked about such, please let me know at mathemactor@verizon.net and I will relay your contact info. Thank you, John (soon to return as Bertram Ripley, alchemist to the stars)

Fletcher Moone has performed several weddings there -- I think you know how to get in touch with him, but I'm sure he'd be happy to provide feedback or contact info with some of the folks who've done it. Me, I just hold the Captain's sword.
Actually, the main feedback I'd relay is: lie shamelessly to your attendees about what time the wedding is, or be very clear that they are NOT pulling up to a church and can afford to show up ten minutes before the ceremony starts. I've directed dozens of full-out-panicking late guests and the look on their faces when I say, okay here's a map, you want to go here and around that and take a left and...
Also, especially if they've bought tickets for their guests, they need to arrange for someone (NOT in the wedding party and who doesn't mind missing the ceremony) to be out front to greet the guests. With a large flag, umbrella or some other defining device. Again, someone standing around clutching an envelope of tickets, who doesn't recognize all of the guests, and is not known by the guests....
And be clear that folks should arrive dressed -- because the looks on the guests face when I point to privy-as-changing-room. And that the terrain is rough.
