There's one relatively recent marriage that is still intact. Bob West & Cindy Chamberlain married in Longhorn Cavern on May 6, 2006. I was
honored to be Bob's Best Man, and it was the only time I've ever worn a tux and cowboy boots in a cave.

Have any marriages lasted that had their wedding celebrations in a cave?
I recall a number of underground weddings over the years officiated by
Reverend Ediger or other ordained cavers but as far as I recall all ended in
divorce.

In April of 1969, just before or just after a trip to Golondrinas, I
sent in a 6-cent postcard with my and Jette Feduska's names and
addresses on it--no money, no nuthin else--and received our
ordinations in the Universal Life Church a few days later. For 3-cents
I got ordained. Carta Valley SUCKS was in full swing at the time and I
performed baptisms at several caver functions ranging from State
College, Pennsylvania to California (and an NSS BOG party in Buda)
with water from Oztotl's Cave in Mexico provided by the Bittingers. In
the early '80s I joined the rabble at the Church of the Sub-Genius as
the Rev Theophilus Punnoval and still have and wear my Bob Dobbs shirt
(printed in my silk screen shop at Mockingburd 300). I've probably
done something somewhat fewer than 30 weddings in all--a few in caves,
on mountain tops and rivers, and on rope high up a cliff.
