Nah... we just wear matching paddling jackets (mine's yellow) or drytops, and put flowers on the PFD's ... I'll skip the formal wedding dress, since I'll be wearing a (spray)skirt.

At the very least, we do the bridal registry at the hardware store & lumberyard.

Wooden rings would be good -- that way they'll float if we accidently drop them during the service. (I once had a best man lose the ring in the lining of his pocket -- he had to fish for a LONG time to get it out.) Now, how to I break it to my bishop (who would be officiating) that he'll be doing a wedding in a kayak????? Or do we let him and the guests stay ashore if they wish??

Good luck... does this mean you live in a Banana Republic

What I've learned from your experience is that when I build a strip boat, I should work symetrically -- stripping both sides of the hull at the same time.
