Weed, ganja, pot, bud, tree, dro, hemp, reefer, hash, grass.

Whatever title you bestow upon the burning bush, it is clear that marijuana has enjoyed a significant rise in prominence and popularity in the United States.

So substantial is this rise in support and acclaim that people are looking toward the skunky shrub as a means of entertainment on the most important day of their lives… their wedding.

Professional cannabis cultivator and connoisseur John Elledge and wife Whitney Alexander led the charge on this “budding,” trend (sorry).

The couple wed on Aug. 8, and made it a night that they, and all of their guests, will definitely (not) remember. Because of Oregon Measure 91, the event was legally permitted to provide some herb for guests so long as there was no liquor present.

The bride and groom had a tent set aside for all plant-related activities to ensure they wouldn’t disturb non-smoking guests, and of course create an elegant matrimonial hotbox.

This magical toke tent was complete with a fully stocked ‘cannibar’ with a variety of 13 strains as well as a professional ‘budtender’ to dish them out and provide any assistance to novice smokers.

The couple even provided transportation for all their guests to ensure safety. They didn’t forget to supply some late-night munchies in the form of French fries and beignets.

But what exactly does this stupendously groovy wedding mean for our future? Are weed-ings going to become the norm for our generation? Of course they will.

With 23 states now adopting medical marijuana laws and four states going further by allowing legal recreational use, it is clear the direction the U.S. is heading in the case of cannabis. The future is being shaped before our eyes, and it looks awfully green.

So as I sit here, writing this article while simultaneously eating Funyuns, watching  “Planet Earth,” and listening to The Grateful Dead, I have concluded that I will be attending a lot of weddings in the future.
