Getting married naked isn't for everyone. For those who can do it, it's great!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Bride's headpiece
  • Flowers for the bride
  • Rings
  • A nudist preacher
  • Naked witnesses
  • A pretty day
  1. Step 1
    An outdoor setting is a wonderful place for a nudist wedding

    Decide if getting married naked is for you. We had both been married before with a formal church wedding. We wanted something simple and natural. There is a family oriented clothing free resort nearby and we approached them about a wedding ceremony.

  2. Step 2

    A thought to consider is that a naked ceremoney is VERY open and honest.

  3. Step 3

    A nudist ceremony goes back to the basics of the Garden of Eden. There are no distractions from the moment or the couple. There are no tuxedos, no fancy wedding dress with a long train. The ceremony consists of a couple, standing unclothed, exchanging vows in front of God. The simplicity is really cool.

  4. Step 4

    Find a place to have the ceremony. You may know someone who has property in a private setting. The ceremony really is better and more complete if it takes place outdoors. You can't beat outside under a blue sky, surrounded by nature. Every state has clothing free resorts that are willing to host weddings. Make sure it is reputable and decent. A good clothing free resort will have many strictly enforced rules and a family atmosphere. I personally don't suggest anywhere that is adults only as there is usually a reason for that.

  5. Step 5

    Find a nudist pastor or one that is willing to perform the ceremony. If you go to a resort this becomes much easier. The resort we went to had three different ministers that we could choose from. (Yeah, it was a surprise to me too!)

  6. Step 6

    Have a hairpiece for the bride. It may be clothing free, but the bride still needs to feel and look special.

  7. Step 7

    Take photos. You will be surprised afterwards as to how comfortable you are with sharing them. I suggest photos taken from a short distance away to capture the moment without great detail. Make certain that all of those persons in the photo area are okay with this. If you are at a clothing free resort, they usually have a no camera policy that is strictly enforced. make sure you get permission or you will be escorted to the gate.

  8. Step 8

    After the wedding, stay at the resort for a couple of days for your honeymoon. Packing clothes won't be a problem! You will have access to a swimming pool, clubhouse, hot tub and more. All without have to drive or get dressed.

  9. Step 9

    Enjoy your life together. Remember that any great thing ever accomplished took hard work. Marraige is fun, but it can also get complicated at times. Stick it out, learn to listen and reson with each other. Sometimes it's best just to keep your mouth shut and let things cool off. Your life together will be whatever you make it!

  10. Step 10

    Keep your relationship simple. With a nudist wedding, you have started out in a most simplistic manner. carry that simplicity through your life together and enjoy!

Tips & Warnings
  • Don't forget the sunblock, sunglasses and sandals!
  • If you attend a resort, make sure it is reputable. A good starting point is to see if they are members in good standing with the American Association For Nude Recreation. (AANR)

on 2/7/2009 Interesting, but not for me. (maybe in one of those bad dreams, like when you show up at work or school naked) Great article, though. 5*
