Around the Bay Area, you can practically smell the dusty fur coats, Viking hats and apocalypse goggles getting dragged out of the attic in anticipation for Burning Man. If you're in the midst of prep for the weeklong desert gathering, you might want to put down those bedazzled hula hoops and put back that fire-dancing equipment, because a couple of professional slackliners have already beat you to everything—at their wedding.

That's right. What should have been this year's Burning Man already happened when Ryan Jenks and Kim Weglin got married two months after the last festival. The Moab, Utah ceremony took place 400 feet in the air, and had absolutely everything Burners love, condensed into a single day:

Strange structures in the desert:

What is that?
What is that? (The Hearnes)

Spontaneous painting in clashing fabrics:

Bob Ross with a twist.

Flexible humans:

Vehicle-based dressing rooms:

As good a place as any.

Aerial performers:

No fear of heights here.

Tightrope walking:

Overalls, bongos and a xylophone:

An interesting trio.

Adults dressed as animals, blowing bubbles:

Cause why not?

BASE jumping men in tutus:

Ahhh!

Someone hanging from a net on a hula hoop:

Hula hoops: not just for hula hooping anymore.

People finding themselves:

Yes! He did it!

Sleeping in uncomfortable places:

Naps are important.

And yes, a mid-air wedding:

They do!

Beat that, Burners!
